klientom

Klientom is the dative plural form of the Polish noun klient, meaning “the clients.” It is used to mark the indirect object or recipient in a sentence, indicating to whom an action is directed or for whom something is done. This form appears in neutral, formal, and written Polish as part of standard noun declension for masculine personal nouns.

In practice, klientom is commonly found with verbs that take a dative object or with constructions that involve giving, offering, or addressing something to the clients. Examples include: Przekazaliśmy prezent klientom. (We handed the gift to the clients.) Wysłaliśmy materiały informacyjne klientom. (We sent information materials to the clients.) Firma zwróciła uwagę klientom na nowe warunki. (The company drew the clients’ attention to the new terms.) It is important to note that when expressing “to the clients” with a preposition, Polish typically uses the genitive, as in dla klientów or do klientów, rather than klientom.

Etymology and related forms: the word klient is a loanword in Polish, derived from Latin cliens (and through later European languages, including French and English). The plural forms follow standard Polish declension: nominative klienci, genitive klientów, dative klientom, instrumental klientami, locative klientach, with klienci being the common plural subject form.
