zespole

Zespole is the locative singular form of the Polish noun zespół, which generally translates as “group,” “team,” or “ensemble.” In use, zespół refers to a collection of people or things—such as a musical band, a work team, or a cluster of symptoms in medical language. The form zespole appears after prepositions that require the locative case, most notably w (in) and o (about).

In practice, zespole is used to indicate location or topic with respect to the group: for example, w zespole muzycznym means “in a musical group,” or w zespole badawczo-rozwojowym means “in a research and development team.” When speaking about a group’s characteristics, one might say o zespole objawów, meaning “about a cluster of symptoms.” The noun’s sense is determined by context, which may range from a concrete organization to an abstract collection.

Grammatical notes: zespole is the locative singular; the base form is zespół. Other cases include zespołu (genitive), zespołowi (dative), zespół (nominative and accusative), zespołem (instrumental), and zespołach (locative plural). The noun is masculine inanimate.

Usage considerations: zespół covers multiple senses, and context determines whether it refers to a physical group (such as a band or team) or a conceptual set (such as a syndrome). In academic or clinical Polish, phrases like zespół objawów or zespół muzyczny illustrate its broad applicability while preserving the grammatical requirements of the locative case.
