szkolnym

Szkolnym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective szkolny, meaning school-related or pertaining to school. It is used to modify masculine or neuter nouns in the instrumental case and agrees with the gender of the head noun. The feminine instrumental singular form is szkolną, and the plural instrumental form is szkolnymi. In the nominative, the forms are szkolny (masculine), szkolna (feminine), and szkolne (neuter or plural for non-meminine nouns).

The term is commonly employed in education, administration, and everyday language to describe things connected with schooling, such as equipment, activities, curricula, or rules. Examples of usage include narzędziem szkolnym był projektor (the projector was a school tool) and sprzętem szkolnym dysponuje szkoła (the school has school equipment). In compounds and nominal phrases, szkolny appears in many standard expressions such as program szkolny (curriculum) or zasady szkolne (school rules).

Etymology and usage notes: szkolny derives from szkola (school) with the common Polish adjectival suffix -ny. It is a productive, neutral term used across formal and informal contexts to indicate relation to schooling, institutions, or educational settings. As with other adjectives, its form changes to reflect the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case, with szkolnym specifically marking masculine or neuter nouns in the instrumental singular.
