zmniejszonym

Zmniejszonym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective and past participle zmniejszony, meaning reduced or diminished. It is derived from the verb zmniejszyć (to reduce) and functions as an adjective or participle describing something that has undergone reduction. Like other adjectives in Polish, zmniejszony and its declined forms agree with the noun they modify in gender, number and case. In the instrumental singular, the masculine and neuter form is zmniejszonym, the feminine form is zmniejszoną. The plural instrumental form is zmniejszonymi.

Usage and examples often occur in contexts describing quantity, cost, effort or risk that has been lowered. For instance, one might say przy zmniejszonym budżecie (with a reduced budget), z zmniejszonym kosztem (with reduced cost), or przy zmniejszonym nakładzie pracy (with reduced effort). The form zmniejszonym can also appear in phrases using other prepositions that require instrumental case, such as z, przy, or bez, depending on the construction.

In formal or technical writing, zmniejszonym is used to convey a completed reduction or a state resulting from reduction. It is typically contrasted with forms that describe unaltered or increased conditions, such as zmienny, zwiększony, or utrzymany, depending on the context.

Notes: zmniejszonym is appropriate for masculine or neuter nouns in the instrumental case; feminine nouns use zmniejszoną. Plural instrumental forms are zmniejszonymi. As a participle, it inherits typical Polish agreement patterns and appears in neutral, descriptive, or technical prose.
