najbliszymi

Najbliższymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective najbliższy, meaning the closest or nearest. It is used to modify nouns in the instrumental case, typically after prepositions such as z (with) or in expressions that require the instrumental. The term conveys closeness in space, time, or relationships and is common in both everyday language and formal writing.

Grammatical notes: najbliższy is a standard short adjective and declines like other adjectives. Its instrumental plural form is najbliższymi. Other common forms include najbliżsi (masculine personal nominative plural) and najbliższe (neuter or feminine plural). The phrase z najbliższymi means with the closest ones, for example with close friends or family members.

Usage examples: Z najbliższymi przyjaciółmi spędziliśmy weekend. This means “We spent the weekend with my closest friends.” Najbliższymi członkami rodziny można się liczyć w trudnych chwilach, meaning one can rely on the closest family members in difficult moments. The form najbliższymi is used when the noun it modifies is in instrumental case or when indicated by a preposition requiring instrumental.

Etymology and related terms: najbliższy is formed from the stem blisk- with the superlative prefix naj- and standard adjective endings. It is closely related to the base adjective bliski, which carries the sense of proximity in various contexts, such as closeness of relatives or proximity in time or distance.

Notes: The form najbliszymi without the typical Polish spelling is generally considered a misspelling. The correct instrumental plural is najbliższymi. In translation or language study, distinguish najbliższy (closest), najbliżsi (closest ones, masculine group), najbliższe (the closest ones, neuter or feminine plural), and najbliższymi (instrumental plural).
