starszymi

"Starszymi" means "older ones" or "elderly" in English, often referring to older people.

In a sentence

  • Lubię rozmawiać ze starszymi osobami.

    I like talking to older people.

    Here, 'starszymi' modifies 'osobami' and is in the instrumental case to complement 'ze'.

  • Mieszkam w budynku ze starszymi mieszkańcami.

    I live in a building with older residents.

    In this sentence, 'starszymi' describes 'mieszkańcami' and shows association, using the instrumental case.

  • Podczas wycieczki poznaliśmy kilku starszymi studentami.

    During the trip, we met some older students.

    There is an error in this sentence; 'starszymi' must agree properly with 'studentami', requiring 'starszych' instead. Correct usage demonstrates adjectival agreement in Polish grammar.
