Kupujúcich

Kupujúcich is the genitive plural form of the Slovak noun kupujúci, which means "buyer" or "purchaser." It appears in contexts where the buyers are described or possessed, typically in genitive constructions. For example, phrases such as cena kupujúcich (the price of the buyers) or počet kupujúcich (the number of buyers) use kupujúcich.

Etymology and form: The base kupujúci is formed from the verb kupovať (to buy) with the present active participle suffix -ajúci, yielding the meaning “the one who buys.” The genitive plural ending is -ých, giving kupujúcich. This form is distinct from kupujúci (nominative plural, the buyers) and from kupujúcimi (instrumental plural, as in mezi kupujúcimi a predávajúcimi).

Grammatical usage: Kupujúcich is used where the noun is governed by a genitive relationship, such as after numerals or certain adjectives and verbs in contexts describing possession or specification. In contrast, the nominative plural kupujúci refers to the group of buyers as the subject, and the instrumental plural kupujúcimi is used after prepositions requiring instrumental case or in phrases like „medzi kupujúcimi a predávajúcimi“.

Context and meaning: The term commonly appears in commerce, contracts, and consumer law, where distinctions between buyers and sellers are important. It is synonymous in sense with kupujúci, but its case form determines grammatical role in a sentence.
