Questions & Answers about Zrobiłem to profesjonalnymi narzędziami.
Why isn't there a Polish word for "with" before profesjonalnymi narzędziami?
In Polish, the Instrumental case is used to show what tool or instrument you use to do something. Because profesjonalnymi narzędziami is in the Instrumental case, the "with" is already built into the meaning. If you added the word z (with), it would mean you made it accompanied by the tools, as if they were people hanging out with you!
What is the dictionary form of narzędziami, and how do we form its Instrumental plural?
The dictionary form is narzędzie (tool), which is a neuter noun. To make it plural in the Instrumental case, we drop the final -e and add -ami. The -ami ending is the standard Instrumental plural ending for almost all nouns, regardless of their gender.
Why does the adjective end in -ymi in profesjonalnymi?
Adjectives describing plural nouns in the Instrumental case always end in either -ymi or -imi. Since the base adjective profesjonalny (professional) has a standard "hard" consonant sound before the ending, it takes the -ymi suffix to match the noun it describes.
Could I say Robiłem to... instead of Zrobiłem to...?
You could, but it changes the focus. Zrobiłem is a perfective verb, meaning the action is completely finished ("I made this and it is done"). If you used the imperfective verb Robiłem, it would mean "I was making this," focusing on the process rather than the finished result.
