opisów

Opisów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun opis, which means description, account, or caption. It denotes descriptions or descriptions of things in contexts where the noun is governed by a word that requires the genitive plural, such as after numerals, with negation, or within compound phrases like opisów katalogowych or opisów technicznych.

In Polish grammar, opis is masculine and inanimate. The basic declension is: singular — nominative opis, genitive opisu, dative opisowi, accusative opis, instrumental opisem, locative opisie; plural — nominative opisy, genitive opisów, dative opisom, accusative opisy, instrumental opisami, locative opisach. The form opisów specifically appears in the plural genitive, as in "brak opisów" (a lack of descriptions) or "opisów katalogowych" (catalog descriptions).

Common uses of opców include academic writing, library and archival cataloging, product documentation, and image metadata. The word can refer to the act or result of describing something, or to a collection of described items. For example: Brak opisów na stronach internetowych utrudnia użytkownikom orientację. Katalog zawiera opisy kilku produktów. In photography contexts, opis zdjęcia serves as the caption or description accompanying an image.

Etymologically, opis derives from the verb opisać, meaning to describe or to write down, with the noun-forming suffix -opis, yielding a term that covers both descriptions in prose and descriptive labels in various media.
