Posuzující

Posuzující is a Czech present active participle derived from the verb posuzovat (to evaluate, judge). It functions as an adjective and, when substantivized, as a noun referring to a person or body that evaluates. In standard usage, posuzující agrees with the nouns it modifies in gender, number, and case, and, like other participles, forms phrases such as posuzující komise or posuzující orgán. The meaning centers on the act of evaluating, rather than merely having opinions.

In legal, administrative, and academic language, posuzující is common in phrases like posuzující komise, posuzující orgán, or the attribute clause posuzující kvalitu projektu. It can also function in a non-finite relative clause: “komise, posuzující kvalitu projektu, doporučila…” The participle is typically used attributively and can be seen in predicative positions, though predicative use is less common.

Etymology and its relatives: posuzující is formed from the verb posuzovat with the present active participle suffix -ující. Related forms include posoudit (to judge, to assess), posuzování (evaluation), and posuzovaný (evaluated). This family of terms is widely used across formal Czech to express evaluation-related roles and actions.
