Ukrytymi

Ukrytymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective ukryty, meaning hidden. It is used to describe a plural noun phrase in the instrumental case, typically in contexts where something is concealed or not visible. The form derives from the past participle ukryty, itself from the verb ukryć (to hide). Like other Polish adjectives, ukrytymi agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case, and is produced by adding the standard instrumental plural ending to the stem.

In usage, ukrytymi appears in sentences that require the instrumental case, for example after prepositions such as z (with) or przed (before), or in predicative clauses involving a plural subject. The exact word order and surrounding morphology depend on the noun being described. The term is part of standard Polish grammar and is encountered in literary, journalistic, and academic texts.

Notes: The word ukrytymi is a specialized grammatical form, not a separate lexical item with a distinct meaning beyond "hidden" in the plural instrumental. For learners, it is sufficient to recognize it as the instrumental plural of ukryty and to decline it according to the general rules of Polish adjectives, observing agreement with the accompanying noun.
