ródowymi

Ródowymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective rodowy, which denotes something relating to lineage, ancestry, or hereditary traits. As a grammatical form, it functions to modify nouns in the instrumental case and is used in contexts describing inheritance or tradition. A common collocation is z rodowymi tradycjami, meaning with ancestral traditions. Another frequent construction is cechami rodowymi, referring to hereditary traits.

Origin and morphology: The base adjective rodowy derives from the noun ród, meaning lineage or descent. The instrumental plural ending -owymi attaches to the masculine personal form rodowi in the plural, yielding rodowymi. This form agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number, typically with plural instrumental nouns such as tradycjami, cechami, or innymi.

Usage: Ródowymi appears mainly in ethnographic, genealogical, historical, or cultural discussions when distinguishing inherited or familial aspects, as opposed to acquired ones.
