specyficznych

Specyficznych is a form of the Polish adjective specyficzny, meaning distinctive, particular, or characteristic to a specific domain. The word signals that the described features or conditions belong to a defined set rather than to general or universal properties. In Polish, specyficzny is used in technical, scientific, and analytical language to emphasize specificity.

Grammatically, specyficznych is an inflected form that appears primarily in genitive plural and locative plural. It accompanies plural nouns when describing characteristics or conditions that pertain to a particular group. For example: cechy specyficznych procesów (features of specific processes) or warunkach specyficznych (in particular conditions). The form is common in formal writing and research texts, where precision about which group is being referred to matters.

In terms of nuance, specyficzny conveys that the subject has properties that are not universal but are associated with a defined subset. It is typically neutral or technical in tone, contrasting with more general adjectives such as konkretny (concrete, concrete in sense of definite) or ogólny (general). In less formal speech, it may occasionally appear with a broader sense of being somewhat unusual for a given context, but its primary use remains precise and domain-specific.

Etymology traces specyficzny to Latin specificus, passed into Polish through historical usage and development of scientific and scholarly vocabulary. Related terms include specyficzność (specificity) and specyfika (specification), which expand on the theme of properties belonging to a particular set or category.
