gospodarstwami

Gospodarstwami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun gospodarstwo, which denotes an economic unit such as a farm, a household, or a small enterprise. The term can refer to the physical estate as well as the activities conducted within it, and it is commonly used in agricultural, rural development, and economic contexts.

The word derives from gospodarz (master, householder) with the suffix -stwo, which forms nouns describing a state, condition, or collective entity. In Polish, gospodarstwo encompasses both the idea of property and the organized activity carried out within it, whether farming, household management, or a local business unit.

Grammatically, gospodarstwami is the instrumental plural form. It appears after prepositions or verbs requiring the instrumental case, for example after z meaning “with” or in constructions that express cooperation or interaction with these units. The form contrasts with nominative plural gospodarstwa (the farms/households as subjects) and with genitive plural gospodarstw (of the farms/households). Locative plural is gospodarstwach.

Usage notes: in official statistics and policy texts, the unit is often discussed as a basis for analysis, tracking, or financing, with distinctions between gospodarstwa rolne (farms) and gospodarstwa domowe (households). Gospodarstwami rolnymi or z gospodarstwami rolnymi are common phrases illustrating instrumental usage.
