The form is also used after numerals and quantifiers that govern the genitive plural, depending on the construction of the sentence.

Rynków also occurs in toponymy and historical language use, where forms derived from rynek appear in place names or descriptive names referring to market towns or market squares. In such cases, the root rynek signals a historical association with a market site, and the possessive or descriptive sense may be reflected in the surrounding elements of the name.

Etymologically, rynek originates from older Slavic roots and has cognates in neighboring languages. The genitive plural rynków is a regular grammatical formation for masculine inanimate nouns of this class in Polish, and it is a standard element in many Polish phrases describing markets, commerce, and urban history.
