rezultatów

Rezultatów is the genitive plural form of the Polish masculine noun rezultat, which denotes an outcome or consequence produced by a process, action, experiment, or calculation. The term is relatively formal and is commonly found in scientific, technical, legal, business, and journalistic language. In everyday speech, the synonym wynik is more frequently used; rezultat often conveys the idea of a sought-after or meaningful outcome of a procedure.

Morphology and usage notes: rezultat is a masculine noun that declines regularly. The nominative plural is rezultaty, while the genitive plural is rezultatów, a form used after numerals, with certain adjectives, or after prepositions requiring the genitive. The word is employed in contexts such as “rezultaty badań” (results of studies), “pozytywne/negatywne rezultaty” (positive/negative results), and “osiągnąć rezultat” or “przynieść rezultaty” (to achieve/yield a result). In sports or numerically focused contexts, the term can appear in reference to outcomes of competitions or measurements, though “wynik” remains common in casual usage for scores and numbers.

Etymology and related terms: Rezultat is a loanword, primarily from German Resultat (with influence from the French résultat and ultimately from the Latin form resultatus), integrated into Polish in the modern scientific and formal register. Related terms include wynik (more general or numerical result) and rezultaty (plural nominative).

Overall, rezultat is a formal term for the outcome of a process, distinct in nuance from more everyday or numerical language.
