Spinowym

Spinowym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective spinowy, meaning “spin-related” or “related to spin.” The term is used primarily in scientific contexts, especially in physics and materials science, where spin refers to the intrinsic angular momentum of particles.

Etymology and scope: spinowy derives from the noun spin, adopted into Polish technical vocabulary to describe properties, phenomena, and concepts connected with spin. As a general adjective, it agrees with nouns in gender, number, and case, with spinowym serving as the instrumental singular form (for masculine and neuter nouns) and spinową for the feminine form.

Usage: In scientific Polish, spinowy appears in phrases such as właściwości spinowe (spin properties), układ spinowy (spin system), stan spinowy (spin state), and napęd spinowy (spin-driven drive). It also occurs in compound nouns and attributive positions, for example narzędziem spinowym (with a spin-related tool) or układem spinowym. In broader discourse, spinowe can function as the plural nominative form to describe multiple instances, as in badania spinowe (spin studies).

Grammatical notes: As with other -owy adjectives, spinowy inflects to reflect gender, number, and case. The instrumental singular form is spinowym, used with masculine or neuter nouns; feminine forms take spinową. Plural forms include spinowe in the nominative position.
