Suchymi

Suchymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective suchy, meaning dry or arid. In Polish, adjectives decline for gender, number, and case, and the instrumental plural form suchymi appears with plural nouns in the instrumental case, often after prepositions such as z (with) or od (from). It functions to describe characteristics of objects or concepts in a plural context. For example: z suchymi ubraniami (with such clothes), z suchymi narzędziami (with such tools). The form is used with masculine personal and non-personal plural nouns as well as with feminine plural nouns, following standard Polish agreement rules for adjectives in the instrumental.

Etymology and cognates: suchy derives from Proto-Slavic *suchъ, with cognates in other Slavic languages (for instance Czech suchý, Russian сухой). The instrumental plural ending -ymi is a common pattern for Polish adjectives in this case, reflecting standard inflection rather than a standalone lexeme.

Usage notes: suchymi describes the dryness or dryness-related quality of plural nouns and is predominantly literal, though it can appear in figurative contexts where dryness is part of the intended meaning (for example, describing moisture absence in materials or conditions). It is not a proper noun or a independently used noun; it is a grammatical form that relies on an attached noun in the instrumental case.
