idealnych

Idealnych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective idealny, meaning ideal or perfect. It is not a stand-alone lexical item, but a declined form used in phrases where the noun it modifies requires the genitive plural or related cases, such as the locative plural after prepositions. In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case, and the ending -nych marks the genitive plural (as well as the locative plural for many adjectives).

Etymology and usage: The adjective idealny originates from the concept of an ideal or perfection and has been part of Polish vocabulary since the 19th century, often through borrowing from French idéal or related European sources. The form idealnych appears in contexts where the noun is plural and in a case requiring -nych endings, for example after prepositions like w (in), o (about), or dla (for). Examples of common constructions include w idealnych warunkach (in ideal conditions), dla idealnych kandydatów (for ideal candidates), and od idealnych warunków zależy wynik (the outcome depends on ideal conditions).

Related forms: The base form is idealny; feminine and neuter singular forms are idealna and idealne, respectively. Plural nominative forms differ by noun gender (idealni, idealne), while the genitive and locative plural consistently use idealnych in many contexts. The noun form for “ideal” is ideał.

Notes: Idealnych functions as a grammatical inflection rather than a separate lexical entry. Its meaning remains tied to the concept of something being perfect or optimal, but its use is strictly within the grammar of Polish adjectives rather than as an independent term.
