badawczymi

Badawczymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective badawczy, meaning "research-related" or "investigative." The word is used to describe something connected with research and to indicate the tools, methods, goals, or tasks involved in a study or inquiry. In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case; badawczymi appears specifically when the modified noun is in the instrumental case in plural.

Common usages include phrases that denote objects or activities oriented toward research. Examples:

- metodami badawczymi (research methods)

- narzędziami badawczymi (research tools)

- celami badawczymi (research objectives)

- zadaniami badawczymi (research tasks)

These collocations are typical in academic writing, experimental protocols, grant proposals, and scientific reports. The form does not stand alone; it always accompanies a noun in instrumental plural and reflects the broader grammatical structure of Polish adjectives.

Etymology and related terms: badawczy derives from badanie, meaning examination or investigation, with the adjectival suffix -czy to form an adjective meaning "research-related." Related terms include badanie (the noun “investigation”), badacz (researcher), and other compounds like narzędzia badawcze (research tools) where the root concept of investigation is combined with noun phrases.

Usage notes: Badawczymi is primarily found in written Polish in formal or scholarly contexts. It conveys a precise sense of association with research activities and is part of standard adjective morphology in Polish.
