kopiujcy

Kopiujcy is a nonstandard Polish term that would be derived from the verb kopiować “to copy.” The correct present participle in standard Polish is kopiujący. The form kopiujcy is not recognized in authoritative grammar and appears only rarely, usually as a typographical simplification when diacritics are omitted or as a coined, ironic label.

If used, kopiujcy would mean “one who copies” or an adjectival sense of copying, analogous to the English “copycat.” In practice, Polish typically uses kopiujący, or alternatives such as kopiarz, osoba kopiująca, or plagista to express these ideas. The term might appear in discussions about plagiarism, imitation in art, or content replication in digital media, often with negative or critical connotations.

Orthography and usage notes: because it is nonstandard, kopiujcy can be confusing or considered incorrect in formal writing. When clarity is important, writers are advised to use kopiujący or other established expressions rather than the unconventional kopiujcy form.
