transgranicznym

Transgranicznym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective transgraniczny, meaning cross-border or transboundary. The term is used to describe activities, relations, or entities that extend beyond national borders. It is common in discussions of regional development, geography, and policy, particularly in contexts relating to cross-border cooperation and the governance of border regions.

Etymology and form: The word combines the prefix trans- (“across”) with graniczny (border), from granica (“border”). The construction reflects a broader family of cross-border terms in Polish and other European languages. As an inflected form, transgranicznym corresponds to masculine or neuter nouns in the instrumental case; feminine instrumental is transgraniczną, and the plural is transgraniczne.

Usage and contexts: In Polish, transgraniczny and its forms appear in phrases such as współpraca transgraniczna (cross-border cooperation), obszar transgraniczny (cross-border region), and programy współpracy transgranicznej (cross-border cooperation programs). The instrumentally inflected form transgranicznym is used within sentences that require the instrumental case, for example with an appropriate noun in that case, such as z transgranicznym porozumieniem (with a cross-border agreement).
