uczniów

Uczniów is the genitive plural form of the Polish word "uczeń," which translates to "student" or "pupil" in English. In Polish grammar, the genitive case is used to indicate possession, origin, or to follow certain prepositions. Therefore, "uczniów" would appear in sentences where the context requires the plural genitive form of "student." For example, it might be used to indicate "of the students," "from the students," or in phrases like "many students."

The term "uczeń" itself refers to someone who is learning, typically in an educational setting. This can range from young children in primary school to older individuals pursuing further education. The plural form "uczniowie" is the nominative plural, used when referring to students as the subject of a sentence. "Uczniów" then serves a different grammatical function, marking a relationship with other elements in the sentence. Understanding the case system in Polish is crucial for correctly using forms like "uczniów." It signifies a relationship rather than simply identifying the students themselves.
