widzialnych

Widzialnych is a grammatical form in Polish, specifically the genitive plural of the adjective widzialny, meaning visible. It is used to modify nouns that are themselves in the genitive plural, often after numerals or quantifiers that require the genitive, or within noun phrases where the head noun is in that case. Examples include wiele widzialnych rzeczy (many visible things), kolorów widzialnych (visible colors), and nie widzialnych rzeczy (unseen things). The phrase świat widzialnych (the world of the visible) illustrates a common usage in theological or philosophical contexts, where widzialnych appears in the genitive to indicate possession or association with a plural noun.

Grammatical notes: Polish adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. widzialny has forms across gender and number, and widzialnych is the plural genitive ending. This form commonly appears after words or structures that require the genitive case, such as numerals (e.g., wiele, kilka) or certain prepositional phrases. The basic antonym is niewidzialny (invisible).

Etymology and usage: widzialny originates from the verb widzieć (to see) with the adjectival suffix -alny, yielding the meaning “visible.” In everyday language, widzialnych is one of the standard inflected forms used to describe plural nouns in the genitive case. The pair widzialny/niewidzialny is frequently encountered in contrasts like widzialny vs niewidzialny, or in the traditional distinction between świat widzialny (the visible world) and świat niewidzialny (the invisible world).
