drobniejszych

Drobniejszych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective drobniejszy, the comparative form of drobny, meaning smaller, finer, or more delicate. In Polish, adjectives decline for gender, number and case, and the suffix -niejszy marks the comparative. The form drobniejszych appears in the genitive plural, where the noun it modifies is also in genitive plural or in phrases that require that case.

The primary use of drobniejszych is to describe a set of things that are finer or more finely divided than another set. It commonly occurs in written or formal language, especially in contexts that compare degrees of granularity, detail, or size. For example, phrases such as drobniejszych kawałków (smaller pieces), drobniejszych błędów (minor errors) or drobniejszych elementów (finer elements) illustrate its typical application. In these constructions, the adjective agrees with the noun in gender, number and case and conveys a nuance beyond mere size, suggesting finer subdivision or greater minuteness.

In everyday speech, speakers may opt for synonyms such as mniejszych to express smaller size, but drobniejszych carries a nuance of finer detail or smaller granularity. Etymologically, it derives from the root drobny with the comparative suffix -niejszy, and its genitive plural ending -niejszych is a common pattern for ordinal-like comparisons in Polish adjective declension.
