wszechny

Wszechny is a Polish word that translates to "all" or "every" in English. It is a common adjective used in Polish to indicate that something applies to every member of a group or to everything within a certain category. The word is derived from the Polish verb "być" (to be), with the suffix "-sze" added to form the adjective, and the plural suffix "-ny" appended to indicate that it applies to all members of a group.

In Polish grammar, wszechny is used to modify nouns and can be declined for case, number, and gender, similar to other adjectives. For example, "wszechnych ludzi" means "all people," while "wszechne zwierzęta" means "all animals." The word can also be used in negative sentences to express the idea of "none," such as "nie ma wszechnych ludzi" (there are not all people).

Wszechny is often used in formal and literary contexts in Polish, as it conveys a sense of universality and inclusivity. It is less commonly used in everyday, colloquial speech, where other expressions like "wszyscy" (all, plural) or "każdy" (each, singular) are more frequently employed. The word is an essential component of Polish vocabulary, reflecting the language's rich grammatical system and emphasis on precision and specificity.
