kwiacie

Kwiacie is not a standard entry in Polish-language dictionaries as a common noun with a fixed meaning. In most contexts the closest and well-established root is the noun kwiat, meaning “flower.”

In standard Polish, kwiat is declined as follows: singular — N kwiat, Gen kwiatu, Dat kwiatowi, Acc kwiat, Instr kwiatem, Loc kwiecie; plural — N kwiaty, Gen kwiatów, Dat kwiatom, Acc kwiaty, Instr kwiatami, Loc kwiatach. The locative singular form used with prepositions such as o (about) is kwiecie. Because kwiecie and kwiatach are the canonical forms in modern usage, the form kwiacie is not part of the standard paradigm.

Kwiacie may appear in texts as a nonstandard variant, a misspelling, or a dialectal/historic form. When encountered in contemporary writing, it is generally treated as incorrect or as a transcription error for kwiecie or a regional alternative that is not widely accepted in standard Polish. Without reliable regional sources, it is not considered a separate lexical item with a defined meaning.

Beyond standard grammar, the sequence kwia- appears in other Polish words related to flowers and botany, but kwiacie itself does not have an established standalone definition in modern language references. It is occasionally encountered in discussions of Polish inflection as an example of nonstandard forms.
