republikami

Republikami is a Polish word functioning as the instrumental plural form of republika, meaning "republics." In Polish grammar it is used when the noun republika is in the instrumental case and refers to more than one republic. The nominative singular is republika; the instrumental plural is republikami. This form commonly appears after prepositions that govern the instrumental case, most notably z ("with"), as in: sojusz z republikami regionu (an alliance with the region’s republics).

Etymology and meaning: republika is derived from Latin res publica, with the modern Polish form developing through historical usage and influence from Western European political vocabulary. The instrumental plural republikami simply denotes multiple republics in contexts requiring that grammatical case.

Usage notes: Republikami is not a proper noun or a standalone name; it is a inflected form used within sentences. It may appear in historical, political, or academic writing when discussing more than one republic within a single syntactic unit, such as treaties, alliances, or comparisons between multiple states that are classified as republics.

Context in political vocabulary: The concept of a republic refers to a state form where sovereignty rests with the people or their elected representatives rather than a monarch. In Polish discourse, republika has described various modern and historical states, and republikami would be used when listing several such states together.
