Opisem

Opisem is the instrumental singular form of the Polish noun opis, which means description. In Polish, instrumental forms are used to indicate the means by which something is done, to express accompaniment, or to describe the content or manner associated with an action. As a result, opis can appear in constructions where a description or description-related aspect serves as the instrument or accompanying element, for example in phrases like pełnym opisem or z opisem technicznym.

In terms of grammar, opis is a masculine noun that declines through the standard Polish case system. The instrumental singular form, commonly appearing as opisem (also seen in the closely related form opisem in some dialectal or historical uses), is the version used when describing the manner, means, or accompanying content of an action. The locative and genitive forms differ, and practitioners should be attentive to the surrounding prepositions that select particular cases (for example, with or without a preposition to indicate accompaniment or specification).

Usage notes and common contexts include: describing how something was documented or described (pełnym opisem), indicating that a document or item was supplied with a description (z opisem technicznym, uzupełniony opisem), or specifying the type of description being referred to. The form opisem/ opisem is mostly encountered in formal writing, reports, and academic or technical texts.
