terminowymi

Terminowymi is the instrumental plural form of the Polish adjective terminowy, meaning related to a term, term in a schedule, or deadline. In practice, the word appears in phrases that describe time-related constraints or schedules, such as z ograniczeniami terminowymi (with deadline-related constraints) or projekt zrealizowany mimo ograniczeń terminowych. The form is a grammatical inflection and does not denote a separate lexical entry; it is used to match nouns in the instrumental case.

Grammar and usage notes: terminowy forms decline like most Polish adjectives. The instrumental plural form terminowymi is used with masculine personal and mixed nouns in the plural, for example w warunkach terminowymi ograniczeniami or z ograniczeniami terminowymi. The exact meaning depends on the noun it modifies, but the common sense is that something concerns terms, deadlines, or time frames.

Distinctions: terminowy denotes something related to a term or deadline, while related words such as terminologiczny refer to terminology, and terminologia refers to the set of terms used in a language or field. Terminowymi should not be confused with adverbial forms such as terminowo, which means “timely” or “in a timely manner,” or with terminology-focused terms.

Etymology: the adjective originates from the noun termin (term, deadline) with the Polish adjectival suffix -owy, forming terminowy, whose instrumental plural is terminowymi.
