równych

Równych is the genitive plural and accusative plural form of the Polish adjective równy, meaning "equal" or "even." It is used when describing plural nouns in contexts of equality, parity, or sameness.

In Polish grammar, równy inflects to równych in the genitive and accusative Plural for masculine personal and mixed nouns, as well as in other plural forms for different noun genders. The form równych appears before nouns to convey the sense of being equal, such as in phrases like równych ludzi (equal people) or równych praw (equal rights). The same form functions in contexts where the noun is in the accusative plural.

Równych can also appear in comparative or contrastic constructions within sentences that discuss fairness, parity, or levelness. The word remains the same across several plural cases, reflecting Polish adjective inflection rules, and its usage is common in formal writing as well as everyday speech when stressing equality.

Etymologically, równy derives from the Polish root associated with balance, level surfaces, and equivalence, a relation shared with several other Slavic languages. The specific form równych is tied to standard Polish plural inflection patterns and is not a standalone noun or verb.
