pomysów

Pomysów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun pomysł, which means idea or plan. The noun pomysł is masculine and common in both everyday speech and formal writing, where it refers to a conceived notion, proposal, or solution.

Grammatically, pomysł declines as a masculine noun. Its nominative plural is pomysły, while the genitive plural is pomysłów. The form pomysów appears after words and structures that require the genitive, such as numerals and quantifiers (for example kilka pomysłów, wiele pomysłów) or prepositions like bez (bez pomysłów – without ideas). It is not used in the nominative or accusative plural, which use pomysły instead.

Etymology and development: pomysł derives from a compound with po- and myśl (thought). Over time, the meaning expanded from a thought or thought-out plan to a broader sense of an idea or concept. The suffixes and inflection patterns are typical for Polish nouns formed from the root related to thinking or planning.

Usage notes: pomysów is specifically a genitive plural form; it does not function as a standalone nominative form. In phrases like mam kilka pomysłów (I have a few ideas) or bez pomysłów (without ideas), pomysów marks plurality and genitive case. The internal meaning shifts with context, and synonyms such as idea, plan, or concept may be used depending on nuance. The related adjective pomysłowy means inventive or full of ideas.
