otrzymujce

Otrzymujace is a non-diacritic rendering of the Polish present active participle otrzymujące, formed from the verb otrzymywać meaning to receive. It functions as an adjective or a participle describing a subject that is in the act of receiving something. In standard Polish with proper diacritics, the form is otrzymujące; the non-diacritic variant is commonly found in older texts, programming, databases, or other contexts where diacritics are omitted.

Etymology and usage

The word derives from otrzymywać and the present participle suffix -jące, used to describe ongoing or habitual action. Otrzymujące (otrzymujace in non-diacritic form) can modify nouns to indicate that those nouns are receivers in a given situation, for example: osoby otrzymujace nagrody (people receiving prizes). The form is typical in participial clauses or as a descriptive phrase, and it contrasts with forms like otrzymujący (masculine singular) or otrzymujące (neuter/plural in fully diacritized text).

Non-diacritic contexts

Because Polish diacritics are sometimes omitted in informal writing, data processing, or old archives, otrzymujace may appear where the standard spelling would be otrzymujące. In such contexts, readers should interpret the term as indicating recipients or ongoing receiving action, rather than as a separate lexical item.
