domowych

Domowych is a form of the Polish adjective domowy, used to describe things related to the home or household. The word conveys associations with domestic life, home-made qualities, or things intended for use in the home. In Polish, domowy has several declined forms, and domowych specifically functions as the genitive plural (and, in some syntactic contexts, as an adjective in other cases) to agree with a plural noun.

Etymology and form

Domowy originates from dom (home) and the adjectival suffix -owy. The form domowych appears when the head noun is in the genitive plural, or in other constructions requiring the genitive plural agreement. This form is common in budgeting, commerce, and everyday language to denote relation to the household or domestic sphere.

Usage

Domowych is widely used in phrases that express possession, type, or relation to the household. It often appears before a plural noun in genitive construction, for example in contexts such as costs, maintenance, or belongings associated with the home. Typical collocations include costs or care relating to household items, pets, or equipment.

Examples

- koszty domowych zwierząt (costs of household pets)

- konserwacja domowych urządzeń (maintenance of household devices)

- wydatki domowych sprzętów (expenses for household appliances)

Notes

As with many Polish adjectives, exact form and placement depend on the gender, number, and case of the head noun. Domowych conveys the sense of “of the household” or “domestic,” and is common in both formal and informal registers.
