przekonanym

Przekonanym is the instrumental masculine singular form of the Polish adjective and past participle przekonany, meaning convinced or persuaded. The form denotes a state resulting from persuasion and describes a person or thing that has been convinced. The base adjective is przekonany; its feminine singular is przekonana, neuter singular przekonane, and instrumental masculine singular przekonanym.

Etymology and meaning: The word comes from the verb przekonać, meaning to persuade or convince. As a participle, przekonany carries the sense of someone who has been persuaded or convinced of something. In everyday language the related noun przekonanie refers to a conviction or belief.

Usage: The instrumental form przekonanym is primarily found in formal or written Polish, where the participle functions as an attribute to a noun in the instrumental case or in more complex constructions. In standard spoken Polish, the predicative use przekonany (nominative) is far more common for expressing that someone is convinced: jestem przekonany, że... The form przekonanym thus serves specialized grammatical roles rather than common everyday speech.
