Odwiedzajcymi

Odwiedzajcymi is the instrumental plural form of the present active participle odwiedzający, derived from the Polish verb odwiedzać (to visit). It denotes people or groups who are performing the action of visiting and is used as an adjectival non-finite form to modify a noun. As a participle, odwiedzajcymi agrees with the head noun in number, gender, and case, and it typically appears in phrases connected by prepositions that require the instrumental case.

In standard Polish, the correct orthography is odwiedzającymi. The variant odwiedzajcymi appears mainly as an ASCII rendering in older texts or in contexts where diacritics are not used. Although both forms may be encountered, odwiedzającymi is preferred in contemporary writing.

Common usage examples include phrases such as z odwiedzającymi nas gośćmi (with the visiting guests) or grupa odwiedzających (a group of visitors). The participle can be part of a prepositional construction or used attributively to describe nouns in the sentence, functioning similarly to an adjective that expresses ongoing or simultaneous visiting activity.

Notes on usage and meaning:

- Odwiedzajcymi/odwiedzającymi conveys that the subjects are performing the action of visiting at the time referred to by the clause.

- It is not a simple noun; it remains a verbal adjective-like form and thus declines like adjectives to match case, number, and gender.

- In many contexts, the noun phrase odwiedzający/odwiedzającymi goes beyond a mere description, allowing concise expressions about people who visit a place or person.
