domów

Domów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun dom, which means a house or dwelling. In everyday Polish, domów appears in phrases that refer to multiple houses or to ownership, composition, or destruction of houses. For example: liczba domów (the number of houses), zniszczenia domów (destruction of houses), kolory domów (the colors of houses), or wielu domów (many houses).

Grammatical notes and usage: domów is the genitive plural form of dom and is used in contexts involving quantity, description, or possession. It occurs after numerals and in constructions that require the genitive plural, such as phrases describing the houses in a city, region, or category. It is contrasted with domy (the nominative plural) when the subject of a sentence is “houses” in the common sense, such as Domy stoją na wzgórzu (The houses stand on the hill).

In Polish discourse about housing, domą and its related terms commonly appear in urban planning, real estate, and architectural contexts. The word contrasts with other terms for buildings and dwellings, such as budynki or mieszkania, and is often used specifically to refer to standalone houses or houses within a street or estate. Phrases like domy jednorodzinne (single-family houses) and domy wielorodzinne (multi-family houses) illustrate everyday usage.

As a surname, Domów may also occur, though it is more commonly encountered as a grammatical form than as a personal name.
