gorszych

Gorszych is a Polish inflected form of the adjective gorszy, meaning worse. It functions as the plural form used with nouns in certain cases, most notably the genitive plural, the accusative plural, and the locative plural.

In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number, gender, and case. The form gorszych appears when describing plural nouns in the genitive or accusative cases, and also in the locative plural after certain prepositions, such as w. This means you will commonly see phrases like nie ma gorszych dni (there are no worse days) or w gorszych dniach (in worse days). The form can also occur with other plural nouns in genitive or locative contexts, for example gorszych wersji or gorszych obiektów, depending on the sentence.

Etymology: gorszy is the comparative form of the Polish adjective zły (bad). The comparative is formed with a suffix pattern that yields gorszy in the singular and gorszych in the plural forms. The word gorszych thus derives from zły via the standard Polish system for creating comparatives and the associated plural endings.

Related terms include gorszy (the base comparative form meaning worse) and najgorszy (the superlative meaning worst). The usage of gorszych is restricted to modifying plural nouns and appears in several grammatical cases, most commonly genitive and locative plural, as described above.
