przepisami

Przepisami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun przepis. The base noun przepis can denote a set of written instructions, an authoritative rule, or a formula. The word derives from the verb przepisać, meaning to write down or to prescribe, reflecting its historical use for written guidance and for official rules.

In everyday language, przepis and its forms cover several senses. In cooking, przepis refers to a recipe or the instructions for preparing a dish. In legal and administrative contexts, it denotes a provision, a rule, or a statute within a body of law. In medicine, it can mean a prescription for medications. The plural form przepisy is often used for the general sense of multiple rules, recipes, or provisions, while przepisami is the instrumental plural form used in constructions that require the instrumental case, such as fixed phrases and certain syntactic contexts.

The instrumental plural przepisami appears in many standard expressions, especially in phrases describing compliance or alignment with rules, such as zgodnie z przepisami prawa, meaning in accordance with the provisions of the law. As a standard part of Polish grammar, przepisami interacts with verbs and prepositions that govern the instrumental or require a fixed expression.
