krótkotrwaych

Krótkotrwałych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective krótkotrwały, which means “short-term” or “brief.” The sequence krótko... may appear in nonstandard spellings such as krótkotrwaych, but the conventional standard form for this plural is krótkotrwałych. The term describes things that do not last long or have a limited duration.

In usage, krótkotrwałych refers to periods, effects, events, or conditions characterized by a brief duration. It is commonly found in legal, economic, medical, and everyday language. Examples include okres krótkotrwały (a short period), skutków krótkotrwałych (short-term effects), and umowa krótkotrwała (a short-term contract), with appropriate inflection to fit the sentence’s case and number.

Etymology and related forms: krótkotrwały is formed from the roots krótk- (short) and trwać (to last). The adjective describes duration and is often contrasted with long-term equivalents such as krótkoterminowy or długoterminowy. In Polish, adjectives decline by gender, number, and case, so phrases change form to align with the noun they modify. The genitive plural krótkotrwałych is just one of these inflected forms.

See also: krótkoterminowy (short-term, often used in more technical or modern contexts) and długoterminowy (long-term). For linguistic reference, the concept is a common descriptor across disciplines when specifying timeframes or effects.
