Opisujaca

Opisujaca (opisująca) is a Polish present active participle formed from the verb opisywać, meaning to describe. It functions as a descriptive, attributive form that expresses that the subject performs the action of describing. As a participle, it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case, behaving like an adjective in sentences.

In texts without diacritics, the form is often written as opisujaca. The standard diacritic forms include opisująca for feminine singular; masculine and neuter forms and plural forms vary according to grammatical agreement. The participle can appear before or after the noun it describes, for example, kobieta opisujaca wydarzenia in a report or postac opisujaca motywy bohatera in a literary analysis.

Usage and function: opisujaca is typically used to characterize someone or something by the act of describing. It is different from the gerund opisywanie, which functions more like a noun, and from other participles such as opisujacy (masculine) or opisujace (neuter/plural). As an imieslow przymiotnikowy czynny (active adjectival participle), it can serve in attributive position (before the noun) or predicative position with appropriate inflection.

See also: opisywać, opisujący, opisująca, opisywanie. These related forms cover the verb, its active participles in various genders and numbers, and the non-participle noun form used for the act of describing.
