spotkaniach

Spotkaniach is the locative plural form of the Polish noun spotkanie, which means a meeting or gathering. As a grammatical form, spotkaniach is used after prepositions that govern the locative case, most commonly after na or w, to denote the location or occurrence of meetings. For example, phrases such as na spotkaniach or w spotkaniach mean “at meetings” or “in meetings.”

Etymology and grammar are straightforward within Polish morphology. Spotkanie stems from the verb spotkać, meaning “to meet.” The locative plural ending -ach is typical for neuter nouns in this case. Spotkaniach cannot stand alone in a sentence; it must be used with a preposition that requires the locative.

Usage and contexts

Spotkaniach appears across formal and informal registers. It is common in business, politics, academia, and event planning when describing the setting of recurring events, conferences, or discussion sessions. Examples include uczestniczyć w spotkaniach (to participate in meetings), planować na spotkaniach międzynarodowych (to plan at international meetings), and raport po spotkaniach (a report from meetings).

Notes

Polish distinguishes between spotkaniach (locative plural) and spotkań (genitive plural) or spotkania (nominative plural or singular forms in other cases). The locative form is specifically used after locative-preposition constructions to indicate where or in what meetings occur.
