wiekowych

Wiekowych is a Polish grammatical form of the adjective wiekowy, which means age-related or related to a particular age. The word wiekowych appears when the adjective is inflected for plural nouns in the genitive case or the accusative case. In practice, wiekowych functions as the plural form that modifies a plural noun in phrases describing age groups, ages, or age-related attributes.

Etymology and meaning: wiekowy is derived from wiek (age) with the typical Polish adjectival suffix -owy. As a result, wiekowych indicates belonging to or characteristic of age, or, in some contexts, age-related differences between groups. The exact sense depends on the noun it modifies and the broader context of the sentence. For example, phrases such as wiekowych grup (age groups) or różnic wiekowych (age-related differences) are common in statistical, demographic, or linguistic usage.

Usage notes: wiekowych is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form. It coexists with other inflected forms of the same adjective, including masculine, feminine, and neuter variants in other cases and numbers. In everyday Polish, the broader idea of “age-related” is usually expressed with the regular adjective forms and with common noun compounds like grupa wiekowa (age group) rather than relying on obscure inflected forms in isolation. The term does not denote a separate topic, organization, or widely recognized concept; it is primarily a surface form used in compounds describing age-related attributes.
