Dokumentami

Dokumentami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun dokument, meaning documents. It functions as an instrumental case form, typically used to indicate means, instrument, or accompaniment, and appears after verbs and prepositions that govern the instrumental. In everyday language it is commonly found in contexts involving paperwork, archives, or administrative tasks, for example in the phrase z dokumentami, meaning with the documents.

Etymology: The Polish word dokument derives from Latin documentum, via French document and eventually through older Polish forms. The instrumental plural ending -ami is a standard Polish affix for masculine nouns in the plural instrumental.

Usage: In formal writing and speech, dokumentami can describe sets or collections of documents or refer to actions carried out with documents. It is not used as a nominative subject form. The construction with z (with) + dokumentami is a typical and widely understood pattern, as in contexts where one travels or operates “with the documents.”

Context and scope: The term is primarily relevant in legal, administrative, archival, and organizational settings, as well as in general discussions of paperwork. It is a word that belongs to standard Polish lexicon and is not a loanword in itself.
