amatorami

Amatorami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun amator, meaning amateurs—people who engage in an activity for pleasure rather than as professionals. The term is commonly used in Polish to describe hobbyists across fields such as sports, arts, science, or photography.

In Polish grammar, amator is declined as amatorzy (nominative plural), amatorów (genitive), amatorom (dative), amatorami (instrumental), amatorach (locative). The instrumental plural amatorami is used after prepositions that require the instrumental case, for example after z (“with”) in phrases like spotkanie z amatorami fotografii, meaning a meeting with amateur photographers, or w towarzystwie amatorami (though the latter is less common). It also marks accompaniment or the means by which an action is carried out, such as a course led by amateurs.

Usage notes: the term amatorami is neutral in tone, though the noun amator can be contrasted with profesjonaliści (professionals) or the adjective amatorski, which describes activities or productions performed for pleasure rather than as a trade.
