operujcych

Operujcych is a form of the Polish present active participle derived from the verb operować, meaning to operate. In standard Polish, the participle is operujący for masculine singular, operująca for feminine, and operujące for neuter phrases. The form operujących appears in the genitive plural and accusative plural, and it is often written without diacritics as operujcych in contexts where special characters are unavailable. Thus operujcych functions as an adjective-like modifier indicating “those who operate” or “operating.”

Morphology and usage

The participle stem oper- comes from the verb operować. The suffixes -ujący/ -ująca/ -ujące form the present active participle in agreement with gender and number. The genitive plural and accusative plural form operujących (written here as operujcych in ASCII) is used when the participle describes multiple agents in a sentence, e.g., grypa operujących lekarzy (a group of doctors who operate) or pacjentów operujących lekarzy (the patients operated on by doctors). In everyday Polish, operujący lekarz means “the doctor who operates,” while operujących lekarzy means “of the doctors who operate” or “the doctors operating” depending on the syntactic role.

Context and semantics

The term is not a standalone noun or concept; it is a grammatical form used to describe agents performing operations. It commonly appears in medical or technical texts to specify individuals or groups performing surgical procedures or other operations, as well as in metaphorical uses for those who operate machinery or systems.
