zysku

Zysku is the genitive singular form of the Polish noun zysk, which means profit, gain, or return. In Polish, zysku is used when referring to profit in a possessive or relational sense, such as "poziom zysku" (the level of profit) or "wzrost zysku" (growth of profit). The base form of the word is zysk; other common forms include zysk (nominative singular), zyski (nominative plural), zysków (genitive plural), and zyskowi (dative singular), depending on case and number. The genitive singular zysku is frequently found in financial and accounting language, where it denotes amounts or changes in profit, for example "zysk netto" and "zysk ze sprzedaży." Phrases like "spadek zysku" (decrease in profit) or "zysk na akcję" (earnings per share, literally profit per share) illustrate its use in business contexts. Zysku should not be confused with a proper noun; on its own it is a grammatical form rather than a separate entity. In everyday Polish, the concept expressed by zysk is common across sectors, including corporate financial reporting, taxation, and economic analysis.
