zwycizcami

Zwycizcami is not a standard Polish word; it is generally treated as a nonstandard or misspelled variant of zwycięzcami, the instrumental plural form of zwycięzca (winner). In normative Polish, the correct spelling is zwycięzcami, which corresponds to the plural instrumental case used with certain verbs and prepositions. The form zwycizcami does not appear in reputable dictionaries and is typically encountered only as a typographical error, an OCR misreading, or in attempts to render the word without proper diacritics.

Origin and grammar: The noun zwycięzca meaning “winner” declines as singular zwycięzca and plural zwycięzcy. Its instrumental plural, used to refer to a group acting as winners or described as winners, is zwycięzcami. This form is used after verbs like zostać (to become) or in constructions that require the instrumental case, for example: Został zwycięzcami konkursu (He became one of the winners of the contest).

Usage notes: In Polish prose and journalism, correct usage favors zwycięzcami. Writers occasionally omit diacritics in digital contexts, but that typically yields zwyciezcami or similar variants, not zwycizcami. When encountering zwycizcami, readers should interpret it as a likely orthographic error or a nonstandard variant rather than a distinct lexical entry.
