treningiem

Treningiem is the instrumental singular form of the Polish noun trening, which denotes training, practice, or a workout. The word is masculine and inanimate and is commonly used in sports, fitness, education, and professional contexts. The term trening itself is a loanword, widely adopted in Polish from English training (likely via other European languages), to refer to organized regimens of practice or exercise.

Declension and form are standard for masculine inanimate nouns. Singular: N trening, Gen treningu, Dat treningowi, Acc trening, Instr treningiem, Loc treningu. Plural: N treningi, Gen treningów, Dat treningom, Acc treningi, Instr treningami, Loc treningach. The instrumental form treningiem is used to express the means or instrument of activity and appears after prepositions that require instrumental, for example z treningiem (with a training program).

Usage and meanings: In sport and fitness, trening refers to a workout or a series of workouts (for example trening siłowy, trening biegowy) and to broader regimens (plan treningowy, program treningowy). In educational or professional contexts, it can denote a training program or practical instruction. The instrumental form treningiem often appears in phrases describing means or accompanying elements, such as z treningiem siłowym. The term is distinct from related Polish words like szkolenie (training in a professional or instructional sense) and ćwiczenia (exercises as a component of training).
