Kontynuujcy

Kontynuujcy is a nonstandard spelling linked to the Polish present active participle kontynuujący, which means “continuing.” The correct form kontynuujący is derived from the verb kontynuować (to continue) and functions as a participle used as an adjective to describe a subject performing the action of continuing.

In Polish, the present active participle has gender and number agreement with the noun it modifies. The standard forms include kontynuujący (masculine singular), kontynuująca (feminine singular), kontynuujące (neuter singular), kontynuujący (masculine personal plural), and kontynuujące (non-masculine plural). The participle contrasts with kontynuując, which is the adverbial gerund meaning “continuing [doing something]” and is used to indicate concurrent action rather than acting as a descriptive adjective.

Usage and style: kontynuujący is common in formal and written Polish, especially in technical, academic, or journalistic contexts. It describes ongoing processes, projects, or actions performed by a subject. The form kontynuujcy is considered incorrect or nonstandard in standard Polish orthography and is typically avoided in edited texts. If encountered, it is usually the result of misspelling, OCR errors, or omission of diacritics in nonstandard contexts.
