opisu

Opisu is the genitive singular form of the Polish noun opis, which translates as description, account, or specification. The word opis refers to a written or verbal depiction of something, such as a person, object, event, document, or process. The genitive form opisu is used in Polish grammar whenever the noun opis must appear in the genitive case.

Opisu appears in various grammatical contexts. It follows negation, as in brak opisu (a lack of description), or after prepositions that govern the genitive, such as z opisu (from the description) or bez opisu (without a description). It is also found within noun phrases describing another noun, for example, opis narzędzi (the description of tools) or opis techniczny (the technical description), where the second noun governs the meaning and the first noun remains in the genitive.

In usage, opis covers multiple senses, including descriptive writing, inventories, specifications, and formal reports. The term can describe both concise outlines and more detailed accounts, depending on the context. Its plural form and other cases follow regular Polish noun declension patterns for masculine inanimate nouns ending in -opis.

Etymology and related forms: opis derives from the Polish verb opisywać, meaning to describe or to write about, and is related to similar Slavic terms such as Russian opis and Ukrainian opis. The genitive singular opisu is the standard form used when the description itself is possessed or when it is described by another term or context.
