zwrotnych

Zwrotnych is a Polish grammatical form that functions as the genitive plural (and accusative plural) of the adjective zwrotny. The root zwrotn- carries meanings related to turning back, returning, or reflexive relations, and the form zwrotnych appears in phrases describing nouns in contexts that require a genitive or accusative plural.

In Polish, zwrotny is used in several senses. In linguistics and grammar it is associated with reflexive relations, particularly in the term czasowniki zwrotne (reflexive verbs) and related constructions. In such contexts, zwrotnych commonly appears when the noun it modifies is in the genitive plural, as in czasowników zwrotnych (of reflexive verbs) or zaimków zwrotnych (of reflexive pronouns). The corresponding nominative plural form for attributive use with masculine nouns is zwrotne, not zwrotnych, illustrating how the form changes with case and number.

Beyond grammar, zwrotny can also denote returning or reversible aspects in broader Polish usage, though the exact sense depends on the syntactic environment and the nouns it accompanies.

In summary, zwrotnych is primarily encountered as a grammatical inflection mechanism—the genitive/accusative plural of zwrotny—used to describe reflexive or returning-related nouns within Polish syntax and lexicon. It is most often seen in phrases like czasowników zwrotnych or zaimków zwrotnych, where the noun phrase requires a genitive plural modifier.
