Posiadajcych

Posiadajcych is a form of the Polish verb posiadać, used as a present active participle meaning possessing or owning. In standard Polish the diacritic version is posiadających, which is the genitive plural form of the participle posiadający. This form is employed in formal and literary language to describe subjects that hold or own something and to introduce relative clauses or noun phrases.

In Polish, present participles decline like adjectives. The base form is posiadający (masculine singular nominative), with feminine and neuter variants such as posiadająca and posiadające. The form possessing the sense of “of those who possess” commonly appears in the genitive plural as posiadających, for example in phrases like grupa osób posiadających domy (a group of people possessing houses). It can also occur in clauses meaning “those who possess,” functioning similarly to a relative clause. In texts without diacritics, this form may be written as posiadajacych.

Usage notes: possessive participles like posiadjących are typical of formal registers, including legal, administrative, and scholarly writing. They often replace longer relative clauses to denote possession succinctly. The word is not used as an independent noun but as an inflected participle that modifies a noun or heads a relative phrase.
