prawdziwych

Prawdziwych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective prawdziwy, which means true, real, or genuine. It appears when describing a plural noun in the genitive case, and it also functions as the accusative plural form for masculine personal nouns, since the accusative plural of adjectives often mirrors the genitive plural form.

In practice, prawdziwych is used with a wide range of nouns to convey authenticity or reality. For example, prawdziwych ludzi means "real people," prawdziwych faktów means "true facts," and prawdziwych bohaterów means "genuine heroes." The form can appear with nouns of any gender in the plural when the grammatical construction requires genitive/plural agreement.

Grammatical context is key for prawdziwych. The base adjective prawdziwy declines across gender, number, and case (e.g., prawdziwy, prawdziwa, prawdziwe in the nominative singular; prawdziwi, prawdziwi, prawdziwe in various plural forms). Prawdziwych specifically is the plural genitive form and, in many sentences, the accusative plural for masculine personal nouns, where the adjective and noun share the same case ending.

Etymology traces prawdziwy to a root connected with truth and correctness, linked to the Polish word prawda (truth) and related forms that encode authenticity and propriety. The word is commonly used in both formal and informal Polish to express that something is genuine or factual.
