2. home (place where one resides)

   Synonyms: chałupa, chata

5. (literary) house (royal, aristocratic, or otherwise high-society family)

The form domie in the locative and vocative is considered dated.

It must be noted, however, that -ie is the regular and productive locative suffix in modern Polish for roots ending with -m or -n. This is reflected in derived terms, such as brand names ending with -dom, and place names (e.g. Dom), for which the ending is always regularized to -ie in the locative.

Compare syn and pan for the same exception.

According to Słownik frekwencyjny polszczyzny współczesnej (1990), dom is one of the most used words in Polish, appearing 32 times in scientific texts, 59 times in news, 39 times in essays, 119 times in fiction, and 124 times in plays, each out of a corpus of 100,000 words, totaling 373 times, making it the 134th most common word in a corpus of 500,000 words.[1]
