granicami

Granicami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun granica, meaning border or boundary. In Polish, granica can denote a physical border between countries or regions, as well as a figurative limit such as a legal, ethical, or operational boundary. The instrumental plural granicami is used in sentences where the boundary is treated as a means, limit, or related aspect of an action, or in contexts that require the instrumental case.

Etymology and cognates: Granica is inherited from Proto-Slavic roots and has cognates across Slavic languages, such as Russian granitsa and Czech hranice. The form granicami follows standard Polish grammar: granica (singular), granice (plural nominative), granicami (plural instrumental).

Usage and contexts: In geography, politics, and law, granice refers to borders or boundaries; grammatically, granicami appears when the boundary is linked to an action in the instrumental case. The term also supports figurative uses describing limits of time, capacity, or scope in discourse about borders, sovereignty, and cross-border relations.
