stanowiskom

Stanowiskom is the plural form of the Polish noun stanowisko in the dative and instrumental cases. The base word stanowisko denotes a position, job, office, or place of work, and in some contexts also a workstation or platform.

Etymology and meaning: The noun stanowisko is formed with the root stanow- and a common location/role suffix, yielding a word that covers a range of meanings from an assigned job to a physical place where one performs tasks. In different contexts it can refer to employment positions, organizational roles, or physical workstations.

Morphology: In plural, the noun changes by case. The plural nominative is stanowiska, the plural genitive is stanowisk, the plural dative is stanowiskom, the plural instrumental is stanowiskami, and the plural locative is stanowiskach. Thus, stanowiskom appears specifically when referring to multiple positions or places as indirect objects or as instruments/means in sentences requiring the dative or instrumental case.

Usage: The form stanowiskom is used whenever Polish grammar requires the plural dative or instrumental case for a referent meaning “positions,” “stations,” or “workplaces.” It is common in administrative, human resources, and organizational contexts, including discussions of staffing, assignments, and workflows. In computing or industrial contexts, stanowisko can also mean a workstation or operating station, with stanowiskom used accordingly in plural references.
