prostszym

Prostszym is a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item. It represents the instrumental singular form of the comparative adjective prostszy, which means “simpler” or “more straightforward.” The word is used to describe actions, methods, explanations, or language performed in a simpler way.

Morphology and agreement. Prostszym appears in the masculine and neuter instrumental singular, for example with nouns like sposobem or językiem (prostszym sposobem, prostszym językiem). In the feminine, the instrumental singular form is prostszą (prostszą metodą). Plural instrumental the form is prostszymi. As a comparative form, prostszym declines like other short, two-syllable adjectives in Polish and is typically preceded by a supporting noun or pronoun.

Usage. Prostszym is used to convey that something is easier to understand or deal with. Examples include: “Wyjaśnij to prostszym językiem” (explain this in simpler language) and “Zrobiono to prostszym sposobem” (it was done in a simpler way). It often appears in contexts where complexity is being contrasted with clarity or efficiency.

Relation to related terms. Prostszym stems from prosty (simple). The full comparative form is prostszy, and prostszym is the corresponding instrumental singular form. The superlative is najprostszym, used when stating the simplest among several options.

Notes. Prostszym is a form used within Polish grammar and is not a separate word with a fixed semantic entry beyond its role as a case form of prostszy. Its correct usage depends on gender and number of the noun it modifies.
