urodzonych

Urodzonych is a Polish grammatical form derived from the adjective urodzony, meaning born. It is the genitive plural form of the past participle/adjective and is used when the associated noun is in the genitive case or when a preposition governs the genitive. In practice, urodzonych appears in phrases that refer to birth, such as birth-year cohorts or groups defined by place or year of birth.

Etymology and morphology: Urodzony comes from the verb urodzić, “to give birth.” Like other Polish adjectives, it inflects for gender, number, and case. The form urodzonych is the genitive plural, used after prepositions or with nouns that require the genitive. It is not a standalone predicate but a modifying form that links to a noun in a genitive phrase.

Usage notes: The phrase wśród urodzonych means “among those born,” and such constructions are common in demographic or genealogical contexts. The word is distinct from wrodzony, which means congenital or innate and conveys a different semantic sense than the time- or place-based references of urodzony/urodzeni/urodzone.
