    What it means

    Literally “with something” — used in expressions like “coś jest z czymś nie tak” (something is wrong with something) or “mieć coś z czymś wspólnego” (to have something in common with something). A highly versatile prepositional phrase.

    Vocabulary

    • z — with (preposition + instrumental)
    • czymś — something (instrumental of 'coś')

    Grammar note

    Preposition 'z' governs the instrumental case. 'Czymś' is the instrumental of the indefinite pronoun 'coś'.
