identycznych

Identycznych is a form of the Polish adjective identyczny, meaning “identical.” It is used as a plural form in the genitive and accusative cases, typically appearing with plural nouns to describe items that are the same or indistinguishable. In practice, identycznych is most often seen after numerals or in phrases requiring a genitive or accusative plural.

Morphology and usage: Polish adjectives decline by gender, number, and case. The nominative plural forms are identyczni (masculine personal) and identyczne (feminine and neuter, as well as non-masculine plural). The form identycznych appears in genitive plural and accusative plural contexts. Examples: dwie identyczne kopie (two identical copies) and dwóch identycznych egzemplarzy (two identical copies, genitive plural).

Etymology: identycznych derives from identyczny, which comes from the root ident- related to the Latin identicus and the French identique, reflecting the concept of sameness or sameness in form.

Related usage: While the adjective can form comparatives or superlatives with more or most, such constructions are relatively uncommon in everyday Polish; phrases like bardziej identyczny or najbardziej identyczny are typically reserved for emphasis or stylistic effect.
