spisowy

Spisowy is a Polish adjective derived from spis, a word meaning list, registry, census, or inventory. It denotes a relation to the act of listing, recording, or gathering data. The term is primarily used in official and administrative language to describe things connected with census-taking, inventories, and other forms of systematic data collection.

In practice, spisowy appears in phrases linked to data collection and accounting. Common examples include spis ludności, meaning population census, and spis z natury, meaning physical inventory. In statistical, archival, and governmental contexts, forms such as dane spisowe (census data) or pozycje spisowe (inventory items) illustrate its usage. The word is usually found in formal documents, reports, and historical records where precision about a data-gathering process is required.

Morphology and usage notes: spisowy declines like a standard Polish adjective, with feminine, neuter, and plural forms appropriate to gender and number. As with many Polish adjectives, its exact form changes with the noun it modifies and the grammatical case used in a sentence. The term is primarily a linguistic and administrative descriptor; outside Polish, it is rarely used, and translations typically render it as “census-related” or “inventory-related” depending on context.
