niktóry

Niktóry is a Polish interrogative and indefinite pronoun. It is derived from the negative pronoun "nikt" (nobody) and the interrogative pronoun "który" (which, who). Its primary meaning translates to "which one" or "who" in a context that implies a negative or uncertain selection from a group. It can be used in both questions and statements to indicate an unknown or unspecified individual or item from a set. For example, in a question, "Niktóry z nich to zrobił?" could mean "Which one of them did it?" with an undertone that perhaps none of them should have. In a statement, it might convey a sense of "I don't know which one" or "none of them specifically." The declension of "niktóry" follows the grammatical cases of Polish, changing its ending depending on its function in the sentence. It is less common than other interrogative pronouns and often carries a nuanced meaning related to doubt or exclusion.
