Etymology and related forms: narodo­wy derives from narod (nation) with the customary Polish suffix -owy, forming a family of adjectives meaning national or pertaining to a nation. Related forms include narodowa (feminine singular nominative), narodowy (masculine singular nominative), and narodowe (neuter or plural nominative), with corresponding instrumental and other case forms.

Common contexts: narodowymi is found in political, cultural, or institutional language to denote national characteristics, programs, symbols, or values when used with plural nouns in the instrumental case. Example phrases include narodo­wy­mi symbolami (with national symbols) or narodo­wy­mi wartościami (with national values).
