Dziobom

Dziobom is the dative plural form of the Polish noun dziób, which means beak or snout. The base word dziób refers to the beak of birds and many animals, and it is also used metaphorically for the front or projecting part of objects, such as the bow of a ship. Dziobom appears in sentences where multiple beaks (or the equivalent indirect object) are involved and the speaker requires the dative case.

In Polish, dziób is a masculine noun of the second declension. Its plural forms include: nominative dzióby, genitive dzióbów, dative dziobom, instrumental dzióbami, and locative dziobach. Dziobom thus demonstrates typical Polish dative plural behavior with the -om ending for masculine inanimate nouns in this declension class.

Etymology traces dziób to native Polish roots with cognates in related Slavic languages, reflecting a long-standing presence in the language. The term is widely used in everyday speech as well as in ornithology, literature, and descriptive texts when speaking about birds’ beaks or the front parts of objects.
