dostosowywaniem

Dostosowywaniem is the instrumental singular form of the noun dostosowywanie, which denotes the process of adjusting, adapting, or tailoring something to specific requirements, conditions, or constraints. The term is derived from the verb dostosowywać (to adjust, to tailor) and emphasizes the ongoing activity of making changes rather than a one-time result.

In usage, dostosowywaniem appears in constructions where the act itself is the focus or acts as the means of action. For example, phrases like "prace nad dostosowywaniem systemu do nowych przepisów" (work on adapting the system to the new regulations) or "zwiększanie efektywności poprzez dostosowywanie procesów" illustrate how the gerundial form functions within sentences. It is closely related to dostosowywanie się, which refers to self-adaptation or adjusting oneself to circumstances.

Dostosowywaniem is widely used across fields such as technology, business, law, education, and public policy. In information technology, it refers to customizing software or hardware to user needs. In management and economics, it describes aligning processes and strategies with market conditions. In law and administration, it covers adjustments to comply with regulations or standards. In education, it can mean tailoring teaching materials to learners’ needs. The term often implies an iterative, ongoing activity rather than a single modification.

Related concepts include adaptacja (adaptation), personalizacja (personalization), and modyfikacja (modification). Dostosowywanie and its instrumental form are common in Polish technical and professional discourse to describe systematic efforts to fit tools, procedures, or practices to new requirements.
