hiszpaskimi

Hiszpaskimi is not a standard Polish term. In most references it appears as a misspelling or informal variant of the instrumental plural form of the adjective hiszpański, which means Spanish. Because it does not conform to standard spelling, it is not recognized as correct in Polish grammar references.

In Polish, adjectives decline for gender, number, and case. For the adjective hiszpański, the masculine personal instrumental plural is hiszpańskimi. This is the form used with masculine personal nouns in the instrumental case, for example: potrawami hiszpańskimi (Spanish dishes) or wpływami hiszpańskimi. A form like hiszpaskimi would be considered incorrect in standard usage and may appear only as a typographical or OCR error.

The confusion between letters such as ń and n, or between sk and szk, can lead to nonstandard variants. Polish orthography requires the sequence -ńsk- in the stem, yielding the correct instrumental plural ending -imi: hiszpańskimi. Other inflected forms of the same adjective include hiszpański (nominative singular masculine), hiszpańska (feminine singular), hiszpańskie (neuter singular and plural), and hiszpańskiego (genitive singular).

Origin and usage: the adjective derives from Hiszpania (Spain) and is used to describe things related to Spain or the Spanish language. Its standard forms are used in formal and informal Polish alike, with nonstandard spellings like hiszpaskimi generally discouraged in edited text.
