mniejszym

"Smaller" or "lesser."

In a sentence

  • Z powodu mniejszym ilościom czasu, musimy działać szybko.

    Due to less time, we have to act quickly.

    Here, 'mniejszym' appears incorrectly as its instrumental form is used instead of expected genitive 'mniejszej'. It should represent a comparative adjective or adverb meaning 'smaller' or 'less'.

  • Im mniejszym problemem się martwisz, tym lepiej się czujesz.

    The smaller the problem you worry about, the better you feel.

    Here, 'mniejszym' is used in an instrumental case as it refers to the problem being relatively smaller, indicating comparative degree.

  • Zostało mi powierzonych kilka zadań o mniejszym znaczeniu.

    I was assigned several tasks of lesser importance.

    Here, 'mniejszym' is used in the instrumental case with 'of lesser', describing the tasks having less significance.
