takich

Takich is a form of the Polish demonstrative adjective taki, meaning “such.” It is not a standalone lexical item but a grammatical form that appears in specific cases, typically the genitive plural and the accusative plural, and it can also function as a pronoun referring to a previously mentioned group or set.

In everyday usage, takich modifies a noun in plural, for example takich rzeczy (such things) or takich ludzi (such people). It is also used on its own as a pronominal form in contexts like Spotkałem takich (I met such people), where the noun is understood from context. A common construction is takich jak, meaning “such as,” as in takich jak lekarze (such as doctors).

Phonetically, takich is pronounced with a voiced palatalization on the first syllable and a velar fricative at the end, reflecting standard Polish pronunciation of the form. The word derives from the base demonstrative adjective taki and shifts to takich in the required cases and numbers.

Usage notes:

- Takich appears with plural nouns in genitive or accusative cases, depending on the syntactic role.

- It can be combined with phrases like takich jak to express a comparison or example.

- It serves both noun-modifying and pronominal functions and is common in both formal and informal Polish.
