Czynnymi

Czynnymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective czynny, meaning active or functioning. In Polish grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case, and the instrumental plural form czynnymi is used with plural nouns in the instrumental case. This form frequently appears in phrases that indicate accompaniment, instrumentality, or the role of subjects performing actions, for example: z czynnymi uczestnikami konferencji (with active participants of the conference) or czynnymi członkami organizacji (active members of the organization).

The adjective czynny is related to the noun czynność, meaning an action or activity, and it is commonly employed in discussions of grammar to describe the active voice (strona czynna) as opposed to the passive voice (strona bierna). The form czynnymi does not carry independent lexical meaning beyond the syntactic function of agreeing with a plural noun in the instrumental case; its purpose is purely grammatical.

Usage notes: czynnymi is used with plural nouns in the instrumental case and follows the standard rules of Polish adjective declension. It is one of several instrumental plural forms that adjectives may take, depending on the stem and phonology of the base adjective. When translating or learning Polish, czynnymi is best understood as the descriptive marker that the noun it modifies is involved in an action or state expressed by the sentence, rather than being acted upon.
