chodzcego

Chodzącego is a form of the Polish word chodzący, the present active participle derived from the verb chodzić (to go on foot, to walk). The participle denotes a walking action and functions as an adjective, describing a noun’s state or action related to walking. Chodzącego specifically is the genitive singular masculine form, used when the modified noun is masculine singular in the genitive case or in constructions that require genitive.

The participle chodzący, and thus chodzącego, agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case. In practice, this form appears in noun phrases such as rzeźba chodzącego mężczyzny (a sculpture of a walking man) or fotografia chodzącego psa (a photograph of a walking dog). It is common in descriptive writing and in phrases where the noun is governed by a preposition or in possessive-like constructions that call for the genitive.

Declension follows standard adjective-like patterns. For example, masculine forms include chodzący (nominative singular) and chodzącego (genitive or accusative singular); feminine is chodząca; neuter is chodzące; plural forms include chodzący (nom. pl.) and chodzących (gen. pl.). In all cases, the form agrees with the modified noun in number and case.

Related forms and usage notes: the word is part of the broader system of Polish present active participles and adjectives. It should not be confused with other participles formed from chodzic/chodzić that convey different aspects or tenses. The term is primarily used in grammatical or descriptive contexts to indicate that someone or something is in the act of walking.
