Padajacego

Padajacego is the genitive singular form of the Polish present active participle "padający," which comes from the verb "padać" meaning "to fall." The participle describes something that is currently falling or in the process of descent and functions grammatically like an adjective.

In standard orthography the base form is "padający" (with the letter ą). In contexts that omit diacritics, the form appears as "padajacego." The participle declines like an adjective and can modify masculine nouns in both attributive and predicative positions, with the genitive singular appearing as "padającego" (or "padajacego" in non-diacritic spelling). Typical usages involve phrases built on a head noun that denotes something falling, such as "padającego deszczu" (of the falling rain), "padającego śniegu" (of the falling snow), or "padającego liścia" (of the falling leaf).

Usage notes: "padajęcy" and its inflected forms are common in descriptive writing to convey continuous action or state. The form "padającego" serves to link the falling quality to a noun in the genitive case, often in expressions conveying quantity, possession, or subject matter. It is distinct from the past passive participle and from simpler adjectives describing static qualities.
