Europejczykami

Europejczykami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun Europejczyk, used to refer to Europeans when the sentence requires the instrumental case. It is not a proper name, but a grammatical form that denotes a group of people from Europe.

The base is Europejczyk, meaning "a European." The form is built from Europe (from Europa) plus the agent suffix -jczyk; the suffix -czyk is commonly used in Polish to form demonyms and ethnonyms describing people from a place or group. The corresponding nominative plural is Europejczycy, the genitive is Europejczyków, and the instrumental singular is Europejczykiem.

Usage: It appears with prepositions that require the instrumental case, most often after z meaning "with." Example: "W rozmowach z Europejczykami z różnych krajów podkreślano wspólne wartości." Another example: "Polscy naukowcy współpracowali z Europejczykami nad projektem badawczym," which translates to "Polish scientists collaborated with Europeans on a research project." A direct object use in the instrumental plural would be seen in sentences like "Spotkaliśmy Europejczyków z różnych krajów."

Notes: The term is neutral and descriptive, used in linguistic or sociocultural contexts. It should not be mistaken for a proper noun or political label; it simply reflects a grammatical form used to talk about people from Europe in Polish.
