poetami

Poetami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun poeta, meaning “poet.” In Polish, the instrumental case is used to indicate the instrument or means by which an action is performed, as well as to express accompaniment or agent in certain constructions. The form poetami is used after prepositions that require the instrumental case, most commonly after z meaning “with,” to refer to a group of poets or to describe actions performed by poets.

Morphology and usage: The base word is poeta; the instrumental plural is poetami. It appears in phrases such as Spotkanie z poetami (a meeting with poets) or Wywiad z poetami (an interview with poets). It is distinct from other plural forms like poeci (nominative plural, for the subject of a sentence) and poetów (genitive plural).

Origin and context: The noun poeta is of Latin origin, via medieval and modern European languages. The instrumental plural poetami reflects standard Polish inflection for masculine personal nouns ending in -a in the singular. In contemporary usage, poetami appears primarily in literary, academic, and journalistic contexts when referring to multiple poets in a manner governed by the instrumental case.
