metaforycznym

Metaforycznym is the instrumental singular masculine and neuter form of the Polish adjective metaforyczny, meaning metaphorical or figurative. It is used when describing a noun in the instrumental or, in some contexts, the locative case. In Polish, adjectives agree with the noun in gender, number, and case, and metaforyczny follows the standard patterns of -yczny adjectives. The form metaforycznym appears with masculine or neuter nouns in instrumental constructions and with the appropriate nouns in locative phrases.

Common contexts for metaforycznym include references to language, imagery, or style that rely on metaphor. For example, metaforycznym językiem denotes a metaphorical language in an instrumental construction, as in phrases describing how ideas are expressed with figures of speech. In locative usage, one might encounter phrases such as w metaforycznym języku to describe usage within a metaphorical language.

The term is derived from metafora (metaphor) with the suffix -yczny, which forms adjectives expressing related or characteristic meaning. As a result, metaforyczny and its inflected forms are widely used in linguistic, literary, and rhetorical discussions to categorize figurative or non-literal aspects of expression.
