kierujca

Kierujca, usually written with diacritics as kierująca, is the feminine singular present participle of the Polish verb kierować, meaning “the one who directs” or “the directing person.” It designates a female agent who directs, leads, or manages actions, and it functions as both an adjective and a noun in usable phrases.

Grammatically, kierująca is the feminine form; masculine is kierujący and neuter plural is kierujące. It agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it describes, and it is commonly used to form constructions such as kierująca ruchem (a woman directing traffic), kierująca projektem (a woman managing a project), or more generally kierująca zespołem (a woman leading a team). The participle can appear attributively before a noun or predicatively in a sentence, depending on the context.

Usage notes: kierująca is frequent in descriptive, journalistic, and formal writing to denote a female leader or supervisor. It emphasizes the role of directing or governing the referenced activity or group. Because it is a participle, its meaning centers on the action of directing rather than on an established job title, though it can be used as a descriptive label for someone who directs.

Orthography: the standard form in Polish uses the diacritic on the a, kierująca. In ASCII or non-diacritic text, it is commonly rendered as kierujaca. The exact spelling should match the surrounding orthography of the text.
