metrów

Metrów is a Polish word, the genitive plural form of "metr." "Metr" is the Polish word for meter, the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Therefore, "metrów" translates to "of meters" or "meters'" in English. It is used in contexts where a quantity of meters is possessed by or related to something else. For example, "dziesięć metrów kabla" translates to "ten meters of cable." Similarly, "długość stu metrów" means "the length of one hundred meters." This grammatical form is common in Polish when expressing measurements or quantities of length. The word "metr" itself originates from the Greek word "metron," meaning "measure." The meter was officially defined in 1795 in France and has since become the global standard for measuring length.
