informujacy

Informujacy (informujący) is a Polish present participle derived from the verb informować, meaning to inform. It functions as an adjective or participle describing someone or something that provides information or conveys facts. The standard Polish form includes diacritics: informujący (masc. sing.), informująca (fem. sing.), informujące (neut. plural). In ASCII texts the forms are often written as informujacy, informujaca, informujace.

Usage in Polish follows the pattern of other present participles. As an attributive modifier, it can describe a noun: a page informująca użytkowników (the page that informs users) or a report informujący o wynikach (the report informing about the results). It can also appear in compound phrases such as komunikat informujący o zmianach (a notice informing about changes). In many contexts, speakers prefer the related adjective informacyjny or the noun informacja to emphasize information content rather than the act of informing.

Semantic notes: informujacy is not typically used as a standalone noun; the common noun for a person who provides information is informator. The participle often carries a dynamic sense of informing, distinguishing it from the static sense of information conveyed by informacyjny (informational) or informacja (information). The choice between informujący and related terms depends on whether the emphasis is on the act of informing, the information itself, or the informational medium.

Origin: formed from the verb informować with the suffix -ujący, a productive pattern for Polish verbal adjectives and participles.
