prawnymi

Prawnymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective prawny, which means relating to law, legality, or legal status. It is used to describe nouns in the instrumental case and appears mainly in formal, administrative, and legal language. As a morphological form, prawnymi corresponds to plural masculine personal and other plural nouns in the instrumental case, and it is typically found in constructions that express means, instruments, or basis that are lawful.

In practice, prawnymi modifies plural nouns in phrases such as prawnymi przepisami (by legal provisions), prawnymi środkami (by legal means), or prawnymi argumentami (with legal arguments). The choice of form depends on the syntactic position and the case required by the sentence. The same root can appear in other forms, for example prawny (nominative/ attributive), prawne (neuter or feminine in the nominative/accusative plural), and prawnych (genitive plural), illustrating the typical Polish adjective declension pattern.

Usage notes and nuance: prawnym or prawnego would be used for singular instrumental or genitive forms, respectively, while prawnymi specifically marks a plural instrumental function. In legal and policy texts, prawny is common in compound nouns (prawo- related terms) and as an attributive adjective before plural nouns, whereas prawnymi emphasizes the instrumental or means aspect when used with prepositions such as z prawymi środkami or przy prawymi przepisami.
