Zapisywanych

Zapisywanych is a form of the Polish verb zapisywać and functions as a present, passive participle. It is used as an adjective to describe nouns that are in the process of being written down or recorded. Like other participles, it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case; the form zapisywanych is most commonly the genitive plural or accusative plural masculine personal.

In usage, zapisywanych appears in phrases that denote ongoing recording or drafting. Examples include dane zapisywane w systemie, meaning data being recorded in a system, and zapisywanych danych, referring to data that are in the course of being recorded. The form is frequent in technical, administrative, and legal writing where processes of recording, logging, or archiving are described.

The term is distinct from the past passive participle zapisanych, which indicates that something has already been written down. As with other participles, zapisywanych does not stand alone as a finite verb but modifies a noun, thereby forming a predicative or attributive phrase within a sentence. Related noun forms include zapis (record) and related adjectival forms such as zapisywany, zapisywana, zapisywane, which correspond to different gender-number combinations.

Etymology: zapisywac/zapisywać combines the prefix za- with the root zapisy- (to write down, to record) and takes participial endings to convey ongoing, passive action.
