Pomidorowym

Pomidorowym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective pomidorowy, which means tomato or tomato-flavored. It is used to describe masculine or neuter nouns in the instrumental case, and it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies.

In everyday language, pomidorowym appears most often in phrases where the noun is in instrumental due to a preposition or a verb that governs the instrumental. Common examples include with foods and flavors: sosem pomidorowym (tomato sauce, instrumental singular), smakiem pomidorowym (tomato flavor), or kolorem pomidorowym (tomato color). These forms show how the adjective pairs with the noun to convey a tomato-related attribute.

The base adjective pomidorowy is derived from the noun pomidor (tomato) with the adjectival suffix -owy, a productive pattern in Polish for forming adjectives that describe material, flavor, or characteristic. The feminine, masculine nominative, and neuter variations differ (pomidorowa, pomidorowy, pomidorowe), while the instrumental forms reflect typical Polish gender and case endings.

Semantically, pomidorowy covers both tomato-based compositions (such as dishes and sauces) and broader tomato-related qualities, including color or flavor descriptors. It is widely used in culinary contexts, product labeling, and descriptions of ingredients, as well as in figurative language to evoke tomato-like characteristics.
