spojrzeniem

Spójrzeniem is the instrumental singular form of the Polish noun spojrzenie, which means a look, glance, or gaze. It denotes the act or result of looking and can indicate the manner or instrument with which something is observed, as well as the emotional or evaluative content conveyed by a look.

Spójrzenie is a neuter noun. Its basic forms are as follows: singular — Nominative spojrzenie; Genitive spojrzenia; Dative spojrzeniu; Accusative spojrzenie; Instrumental spojrzeniem; Locative spojrzeniu; Vocative spojrzenie.

Etymology and related forms: spojrzenie is derived from the verb spojrzeć, meaning to glance or to look. The instrumental form spojrzeniem is used when the gaze or act is treated as the means or manner of an action, or in fixed expressions describing how someone observes.

Usage and nuances: spojrzenie refers to a concrete look or the general capacity to look, often carrying emotional or communicative weight. It is commonly contrasted with patrzenie (array of looking or attention over time) and widzenie (the ability to see or the sense of sight). In literature and speech, spojrzenie can express mood, intention, trust, suspicion, or affection without words, and is frequently described with adjectives such as "płomienne," "ciche," or "zagubione."

Note: While spojrzenie is the base noun, spójrzeniem is its instrumental form and appears in sentences where the gaze functions as an instrument or manner.
