Stosowanymi

Stosowanymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish past passive participle or adjectival form stosowany, which originates from the verb stosować (to apply, to use). It carries the sense of “used” or “employed” and functions as an adjective describing nouns in the instrumental case.

In grammar, stosowanymi is used to modify masculine personal or mixed-gender nouns in plural when those nouns are in the instrumental case. The form is common in technical, scientific, and formal texts where procedures, tools, methods, or technologies that have been employed are being described.

Typical usage includes phrases that enumerate or specify how something was applied in a given context. It often appears in combination with nouns such as metody, narzędzia, technologie, procedury, or inne pojęcia indicating instruments or approaches used in research or practice. For example, metody stosowanymi w badaniach, narzędziami stosowanymi w praktyce, technologiami stosowanymi w przemyśle. Such constructions emphasize the active use of the described items rather than their mere existence.

Etymologically, stosowanymi derives from stosować, a verb rooted in the sense of applying or employing something. The participial form aligns with Polish agreement rules for adjectives and participles, taking instrumental plural endings to match the nouns it modifies.
