modyfikujce

Modyfikujące (also written without diacritics as modyfikujace) is the present active participle form of the Polish verb modyfikować, meaning to modify, alter or change something. In Polish, it functions as an adjective or a participial modifier, describing objects, processes, or agents that perform modification. The term is used across disciplines to indicate that a thing has a modifying effect on another thing, such as data, parameters, or behavior.

Etymology and form: The word derives from the verb modyfikować, which in turn comes from the Latin modificare. The present active participle has several gendered forms: modyfikujący (masculine singular), modyfikująca (feminine singular), and modyfikujące (neuter singular and all plural forms). In contexts where diacritics are omitted, it can appear as modyfikujace.

Usage: Modyfikujące is common in technical, scientific, and analytical language. It describes components or factors that cause modification. Examples include “oprogramowanie modyfikujące ustawienia użytkownika” (software that modifies user settings), “procedura modyfikująca dane wejściowe” (procedure modifying input data), and “czynniki modyfikujące odpowiedź organizmu” (modifying factors of the organism’s response). In statistics or biology, phrases like “czynniki modyfikujące efekt” (factors modifying the effect) are routine.

Relation to related terms: Related Polish terms include modyfikacja (modification), modyfikator (modifier), and modyfikować (to modify). The word is part of a broader vocabulary describing alteration, adjustment, or customization across fields such as information technology, science, and engineering.

Notes: The non-diacritic variant modyfikujace appears in texts where diacritics are unavailable, but the standard Polish spelling is modyfikujące.
