Siedzcych

Siedzcych is not a standard headword in modern Polish. In contemporary usage, the form is generally considered a misspelling or nonstandard variant of siedzących, the genitive plural form of siedzący, which is the present participle of the verb siedzieć (to sit). The standard form siedzących is used to describe groups or individuals who are seated, in contexts such as relative clauses or noun phrases.

Etymology and morphology: siedzący is formed from the verb siedzieć with the participle suffix -ący, yielding siedzący (standing for “sitting”). Its genitive plural, siedzących, is used when referring to “of those who are sitting” or “the sitting ones” in a modifying role. A form like siedzcych deviates from the standard orthography and would be treated as incorrect in formal writing. In texts that lack diacritics or contain OCR errors, siedzących can occasionally be misread or mistyped as siedzcych, but this is not a recognized variant.

Usage and correctness: When editing or writing in Polish, the correct form is siedzących (or siedzący, siedząca, siedzące, depending on gender and number). Examples: Grupa siedzących obywateli czeka na decyzję. Na ławkach siedzących dzieci bawiły się zabawkami. If you encounter siedzcych, it should be corrected to siedzących.

See also: siedzący, siedzieć, siedzenie.

Note: siedzcych does not have an established, separate meaning in standard Polish and is not listed as a separate entry in leading dictionaries.
