szeregów

Szeregów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun szereg, which denotes a row, line, series, or sequence of objects or events. The word is used for tangible arrangements—as in a row of trees or a terrace of houses—and for abstract progressions, such as a sequence of numbers or events. In mathematical and statistical contexts, szereg refers to a series, with phrases like szereg arytmetyczny (arithmetic series) or szereg geometryczny (geometric series).

The genitive plural szeregów appears when the noun serves a descriptive or possessive function in a phrase, for example szeregów domów (rows of houses) or szeregów liczb (a series of numbers). The nominative plural form of the word is szeregi, so szeregów marks the grammatical case needed in contexts such as “of the series” or “belonging to the series.” Beyond everyday language, szereg is standard in technical writing, urban planning descriptions, and mathematical texts.

Etymology generally traces szereg to Old Polish and Proto-Slavic roots meaning line or row, with cognates in other Slavic languages. The term also appears in related forms and compounds, such as szeregowy, which can mean sequential or, in military usage, a private or line soldier, depending on context.

See also: szereg, ciąg, seria. The article highlights szeregów as a grammatical form rather than a separate lexical entry, emphasizing its role in expressing plurality and possessive relationships within phrases describing rows, series, or sequences.
