widocznych

Widocznych is a form of the Polish adjective widoczny, meaning visible or evident. It is most commonly recognized as the genitive plural form of widoczny. In some grammatical contexts, particularly with masculine personal nouns in the accusative plural, widocznych may also appear where the adjective modifies such nouns in the direct object position, since the accusative plural often mirrors the genitive plural for masculine personal nouns.

Morphology and usage

As a declined form, widocznych appears in sentences describing multiple items or aspects that are visible or noticeable. The form is used with nouns in genitive plural (or, in certain sentences, with masculine personal nouns in the accusative plural due to sentence structure). It is not a standalone noun; it functions to modify a following noun pair, aligning with Polish adjective declension rules for number and case. The related forms include widoczny (singular), widoczni (masculine personal plural nominative), and widoczne (neuter plural or feminine plural nominative).

Common meanings and nuance

Widocznych conveys that something is detectable or perceptible by sight within the relevant context. It can imply mere visibility or also be used in a broader sense of conspicuity or apparentness when discussing evidence, signs, or indicators.

Examples

- Nie widzę widocznych znaków. (I do not see visible signs.)

- W raporcie stwierdzono brak widocznych błędów. (The report found no evident errors.)

- Na widocznych elementach interfejsu umieszczono podpowiedzi. (Hints were placed on visible elements of the interface.)

Etymology

Widocznych derives from widoczny, formed from the verb widzieć (to see) with the common adjectival suffix -oczny.
