religijnymi

Religijnymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective religijny, meaning "religious." It is used to describe plural nouns in the instrumental case, typically when the described nouns are objects of a preposition such as with, by, or among. For example: z grupami religijnymi (with religious groups) or organizacjami religijnymi (religious organizations). The form reflects standard Polish adjective declension, where religijny in plural instrumental takes the ending -ymi, producing religijnymi.

Etymology and usage notes: religijny derives from the noun religia (religion) with the common adjectival suffix -ijny, forming terms that denote relation to religion. The instrumental plural religijnymi can be used with a variety of masculine personal and feminine or neuter plural nouns, depending on the head noun, but its core meaning remains tied to religion and religious contexts. This form is routine in academic, legal, cultural, and everyday language when specifying relations, practices, or groups connected to religion.

Context and nuance: while the core sense is straightforward—relating to religion—the exact nuance can vary with the surrounding nouns and the broader discourse, ranging from neutral descriptive to formal or sociological contexts. The term itself does not convey values beyond its grammatical meaning; it simply marks a relational adjective form in the instrumental plural.
