kilkakrotnie

Kilkakrotnie is a Polish adverb meaning several times or on several occasions. It signals that an action was repeated more than once, without specifying the exact quantity. In formal or written Polish it can replace phrases such as kilkakrotnie or wielokrotnie, depending on the nuance and style.

The word is formed from the determiner kilka (a few) and the adverb krotnie (times). There are variant spellings that are commonly accepted, including kilkukrotnie and kilkakrotnie; both convey the same meaning and are found in standard usage. Kilkakrotnie often carries a more formal or neutral tone, whereas in everyday speech speakers may opt for kilka razy or po prostu kilka razy.

Usage notes: kilkakrotnie is typically used with verbs in finite forms, for example: Zgłaszał się kilkakrotnie, ale nikt go nie słuchał. W raporcie odnotowano, że projekt był kilkukrotnie opóźniony. The term is versatile but tends to be more precise than a vague “many times”; it adds emphasis without stating an exact count. Related expressions include wielokrotnie, kilka razy and parę razy.
