obiegu

Obiegu is the genitive and locative singular form of the Polish noun obieg. The base word obieg denotes a system or process of movement along a closed path, i.e., circulation, circuit, or turnover. The concept is used across various domains to describe how items, substances, or information move within a defined system.

In economics and business, obieg refers to the circulation or turnover of money, goods, and financial instruments. Phrases such as obieg pieniężny (money in circulation) or obieg towarowy (circulation of goods) are common, reflecting the flow of economic units through markets and institutions. In accounting and organizational contexts, obieg can describe workflows, such as obieg dokumentów or obieg korespondencji, which denote the circulation of documents or correspondence within an organization.

In biology and medicine, obieg appears in discussions of physiological circulation. Obieg krwi means blood circulation, and obieg płucny refers to the pulmonary circulation. The term helps distinguish different parts of the circulatory system and their routing within the body.

In geography, transportation, and logistics, obieg can describe routes or cycles within a system, such as a network of transit or distribution loops. The expression w obiegu is a common locative construction meaning “in circulation.”

Grammatically, obiegu functions as the locative singular and genitive singular form of obieg, and is used with prepositions that require those cases, for example, w obiegu (in circulation). It is not an independent concept but a specific case form of the broader noun obieg.
