Biurem

Biurem is the instrumental singular form of the Polish noun biuro, which translates as an office, bureau, or agency. The term designates a place where administrative or professional tasks are carried out and can also refer to the organization or department that operates there. It appears in many compound nouns naming specific offices, such as biuro podróży (travel agency), biuro rachunkowe (accounting office), and biuro projektowe (design office).

In Polish, biuro is a neuter noun with the following standard forms: Nominative biuro, Genitive biura, Dative biuru, Accusative biuro, Instrumental biurem, Locative biurze. The instrumental form biurem is used in grammatical constructions that require the instrumental case, including after certain prepositions that govern instrumental, for example with z meaning “with”: Z biurem rachunkowym zapewniamy obsługę księgową (We provide accounting service with the accounting office).

Etymology and usage: biuro is borrowed from the French bureau (and related German forms) and has long been used in Polish to refer to both a physical office space and the organization housed there. The word covers a range of contexts, from public institutions and corporate departments to service centers and private firms.
