Wyrazami

Wyrazami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun wyraz, meaning a word or expression. In grammar, wyraz is masculine; its plural nominative is wyrazy, and its instrumental plural is wyrazami. The instrumental plural form is used to indicate the means or manner of expression (that is, “by words” or “with words”) and appears after prepositions that govern the instrumental case.

A common usage is the formal closing of letters: Z wyrazami szacunku — “With expressions of respect.” In other contexts, phrases built with wyraz or wyrazami can denote the way something is expressed, though the standard phrase for praise is often formed with wyrazy.

There is a distinction between wyrazy (plural of wyraz meaning individual words or expressions) and wyrazami (instrumental plural referring to the means of expression). The two forms appear in different grammatical roles: wyrazy is used in subject or object positions; wyrazami in instrumental positions.
