kojarzeni

Kojarzeni is a grammatical form in Polish derived from the verb kojarzyć, which means to associate, link, or bring to mind. It is the present passive participle in the masculine personal plural, and as such it functions as an adjective describing subjects that are connected with or linked to something else. The word expresses a relationship of association rather than a direct action by the subject.

In usage, kojarzeni appears mainly in formal or journalistic contexts to indicate that certain people or entities are connected with a matter, person, or organization. For example, it can be used to describe individuals who are linked to a case or investigation, or groups that are identified as being tied to a particular event. The form is often contrasted with kojarzeni, kojarzone, or kojarzeni as appropriate to grammatical agreement, depending on the gender and number of the noun it describes.

Etymology and related terms: kojarzeni comes from kojarzyć, which has core meanings of forming mental associations, recalling, or linking concepts. The noun form kojarzenie denotes the act or process of making associations or connections, and it is more commonly used when referring to the cognitive or semantic aspect of association. Related expressions include kojarzenie semantyczne (semantic association) and other phrases describing links between people, organizations, or ideas.

Notes: While kojarzenie (association, the act of linking) is widely used in psychology and linguistics, kojarzeni is primarily a descriptive participial form used in sentences to indicate linked subjects.
