nitrowych

Nitrowych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective nitrowy, which denotes a relationship to nitro or nitrated substances. In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case, so nitrowych is used primarily in the genitive plural and, in some contexts, the accusative plural.

Linguistic role and scope: nitrowy describes materials, compounds, or processes related to nitrogen-containing or nitro groups. The form nitrowych appears when the noun it modifies is plural and in the genitive case (for example, “związki nitrowych” or more commonly “związków nitrowych,” meaning nitro compounds). The term is common in scientific and technical language, especially chemistry, pharmacology, and materials science, where precise description of nitro groups or nitro-containing substances is required.

Usage notes: nitrowych is not a standalone noun; it is an inflected adjective. The base form nitrowy can also appear in other cases and numbers (nitrowe in nominative plural, nitrowych in genitive plural, etc.). In everyday language, phrases like “nitrowe związki” (nitro compounds) or “grupy nitrowe” (nitro groups) are typical, with their corresponding case forms adapted to Polish grammar.

Examples:

- reakcje z udziałem związków nitrowych

- właściwości nitrowych grup chemicznych
