Questions & Answers about Likwidator szkód sprawdza dokumenty.
Why is szkód in that form, not szkody?
Because szkód is the genitive plural form of szkoda (damage, loss, claim, depending on context).
In likwidator szkód, the second noun tells us what kind of adjuster/liquidator this person is. In Polish, that relationship is often expressed with the genitive:
- likwidator szkód = literally liquidator/handler of losses/claims
- compare:
- kierownik firmy = manager of a company
- nauczyciel języka = teacher of a language
So szkody would be the nominative plural form, but after likwidator, Polish uses szkód.
