krajowymi

Krajowymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective krajowy, meaning domestic, national, or local. It is used to describe nouns in the instrumental case, typically in formal or administrative language to indicate relation to the home country rather than foreign contexts.

The base adjective krajowy comes from kraj, meaning country or land. When used with a noun in instrumental plural, it becomes krajowymi (for example krajowymi przepisami, krajowymi standardami). In this construction, krajowymi generally translates to "domestic" or "local" and is often contrasted with foreign or international alternatives such as zagranicznymi or międzynarodowymi.

Common contexts include law, regulation, business, and public policy. Examples: "zgodnie z krajowymi przepisami" (in accordance with domestic regulations) or "krajowymi standardami" (to domestic standards). "Rynki krajowe" is the domestic market; in instrumental usage you might see "krajowymi rynkami" when the noun is in instrumental.

Notes: as an inflected form, krajowymi appears when the modifying noun is in instrumental plural. The term is mainly encountered in written Polish in legal, economic, or administrative texts. It does not constitute a separate lexical entry beyond being the grammatical form of krajowy.
