szacunkow

Szacunkow is the non-diacritic form of szacunków, the genitive plural of szacunki in Polish. The base word szacunki means estimates or valuations, so szacunków appears in contexts where a plural estimate is referenced in a phrase governed by the genitive case. In everyday language, szacunków is commonly found in reporting, budgeting, and planning, for example in phrases like według szacunków ekspertów (“according to experts’ estimates”) or koszty według szacunków (“costs according to estimates”).

The related adjective szacunkowy means estimated or approximate, used to describe costs, values, or figures. The adverb szacunkowo conveys approximation, roughly or approximately, as in szacunkowo dwie miliony złotych. The noun oszacowanie, meaning the act of estimating or an estimate, is closely related and often used in more formal contexts.

Etymology and usage notes: szacunkow derives from the same root as szacunki and szacować (to estimate). The term is linked to the concept of estimation in finance, statistics, journalism, and policy analysis. It is distinct from szacunek, which means respect or esteem, though both share a historical linguistic root.
