dolarów

Dolarów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun dolar, which denotes the dollar, primarily the United States dollar. In everyday Polish, amounts are expressed with the genitive plural after numerals and certain quantifiers: dziesięć dolarów, pięć dolarów, kilka dolarów. The corresponding nominative plural form of the noun is dolary, while dolarów is used in these numeric and quantitative contexts.

Etymology and usage: The word dolar derives from the German Thaler, a historical coin that influenced many currencies. Polish borrowed the term and adopted it for the currency now known as the dollar. In Polish, the US dollar is commonly referred to as dolar amerykański (USD). Other currencies with the name dollar include dolar kanadyjski (CAD) and dolar australijski (AUD).

Context and finance: The expression kurs dolara describes the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Polish zloty or other currencies. In financial writing, amounts in dollars are typically given as "dolarów" after numerals (e.g., "finansowanie wynosiło 100 dolarów") and "dolarów" is also used with non-numerical quantities such as "kilka dolarów" or "więcej dolarów". The term appears in prices, reports, and international communication, reflecting its role in monetary discussion.
