tekstowych

Tekstowych is a Polish adjective form derived from tekstowy, meaning related to text or textual. It is used to describe nouns in plural and agrees with the case, number, and gender of the modified noun. The form tekstowych is most commonly seen as the plural ending in genitive (dopełniacz liczby mnogiej) or locative (miejscownik liczby mnogiej).

In practical terms, tekstowych serves as the descriptive partner to plural nouns when referring to text-related aspects. For example, in phrases like plików tekstowych (text files) or dane tekstowe (text data), the adjective aligns with the plural noun in the respective case. Other common collocations include warstwy tekstowe (text layers), formaty tekstowe (text formats), and części tekstowych (textual parts). Because Polish adjectives decline across cases, the same ending -ych appears in both dopełniacz liczby mnogiej and miejscownik liczby mnogiej, which can sometimes require context to determine the exact case.

The term is used across domains such as information technology, linguistics, publishing, and data processing, where distinctions between textual content and non-textual elements matter. It is often contrasted with related forms like tekstowy (singular) and tekstowe (nominative plural for certain noun classes) to indicate the plural, text-related aspect of a subject.
