zdaniach

Zdaniach is a locative plural form of the Polish noun zdanie, which can mean a grammatical sentence or, less commonly in everyday speech, an opinion or statement. In linguistic and grammatical contexts, zdanie refers to a unit of syntax, while in discussions about opinions it can mean a stated view. The form zdaniach specifically appears when the noun is in the locative case and in the plural.

Morphology and usage

Zdanie is neuter in gender. Its plural nominative form is zdania, while the locative plural is zdaniach. The locative case is used after prepositions that govern this case, such as w (in) and o (about), among others. Therefore, you typically encounter phrases like w zdaniach (in sentences) or o zdaniach (about sentences). The construction is common in grammar books, linguistic analyses, and academic writing, as well as in discussions about sentence structure and their components.

Examples

In complex discussions of grammar one might say: W zdaniach złożonych szyk wyrazów odgrywa ważną rolę. Another instance: O zdaniach w podręczniku omówiono różne typy zdań. In everyday writing, zdaniach appears wherever a plural set of sentences or statements is being referenced.

Notes

Because zdanie can also mean an opinion, zdaniach may be interpreted as “in statements” in a discussion context, though its primary usage remains tied to sentences in linguistic texts. When parsing the meaning, consider the surrounding prepositions and whether the referent is about sentences or about opinions.
