przyczynowymi

Przyczynowymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective przyczynowy, meaning causal or relating to a cause. It is used to describe plural nouns in the instrumental case, for example in phrases such as przyczynowymi związkami or przyczynowymi czynnikami, which translate to “with causal relationships” and “with causal factors,” respectively.

In Polish grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. For adjectives ending in -owy, the instrumental plural form is typically -owymi, hence przyczynowymi. This form appears in formal or technical language when indicating that multiple elements are of a causal nature or related to causes.

The term is commonly employed in philosophy, science, epidemiology, and law to discuss causal relations, causes, and mechanisms. Typical collocations include związek przyczynowy (causal relationship), zależność przyczynowa (causal dependence), and warunki przyczynowe (causal conditions). The adjective can be used with a variety of masculine nouns in the instrumental plural, and its form changes with the noun it modifies.

Etymologically, przyczynowy is derived from przyczyna (cause) with the suffix -owy. While primarily found in formal writing, the concept it expresses—causality and causal relations—appears across disciplines.
