rozkazów

Ro zkazów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun rozkaz, which denotes an order, command, or directive issued by an authority. In Polish, rozkaz refers to a formal instruction that obligations or actions follow from, and it is commonly used in military, administrative, and governmental contexts. The plural nominative is rozkazy, while the genitive plural is rozkazów, as in “liczba rozkazów wydanych w ostatnim kwartale” (the number of orders issued in the last quarter).

Etymology and meaning

The word rozkaz comes from the Polish verb rozkazać, meaning to command or to order. The noun can describe different kinds of directives, from tactical military commands to bureaucratic orders and decrees. The sense is generally formal and binding, though the exact authority and scope of a rozkaz can vary with context.

Usage

Rozkaz is used to refer to specific directives issued by a person or institution with formal power. In sentences it appears in phrases such as “wydać rozkaz” (to issue an order) or “rozkaz wojskowy” (military order). The genitive rozkazów appears when discussing quantities, characteristics, or possession in relation to such directives, e.g., “rozkazy, które miały być wykonane według rozkazu” or “brak rozkazów w sanitarnej procedurze.”

Related terms

Related concepts include rozporządzenie (regulation) and dyrektywa (directive). While rozkazy and rozkazów emphasize commands issued by an authority, their legal and practical force may differ from formal legal acts.

Notes

Ro zkazów is a grammatical form rather than a distinct conceptual term; its meaning depends on the noun rozkaz and the context in which it is used.
