zamkniciem

Zamknięcie is a Polish neuter noun meaning the act of closing or sealing something, as well as the state of being closed. It can also denote the completion or finalization of a process, document, or agreement. The instrumental singular form zamknięciem is used to express the instrument or means by which something is closed in formal constructions.

The word is derived from the verb zamykać or zamknąć, with the suffix -cie, and belongs to a family of related forms such as zamknięty (closed). In standard usage, its inflection follows the typical pattern for neuter nouns ending in -cie. The common forms include nominative zamknięcie, genitive zamknięcia, dative zamknięciu, instrumental zamknięciem, and locative zamknięciu; plural forms include zamknięcia (nominative) and zamknięć (genitive).

Orthography notes: the correct Polish spelling includes the diacritic ę, yielding zamknięciem in the instrumental singular. The variant zamkniciem (without the diacritic) is generally considered incorrect in proper Polish, though it may appear in non-diacritic contexts or OCR errors.

Usage context ranges from everyday language to formal or technical discourse. In everyday speech, zamknięcie can refer to physically closing doors, windows, or containers. In administrative, legal, or logistical contexts, it denotes the finalization or closure of a matter, file, project, or procedure.
