otrzymywanym

otrzymywanym is a Polish word that functions as a passive participle. It is derived from the verb "otrzymywać" which means "to receive" or "to obtain." As a passive participle, "otrzymywanym" describes something that is being received or has been received. Its grammatical form, specifically the ending "-ym," indicates that it is in the instrumental case and is masculine or neuter singular.

This form is typically used when the recipient of the action is expressed using the instrumental case. For example, in a sentence like "List był otrzymywanym przez pocztę" (The letter was being received by the post), "otrzymywanym" is in the instrumental case modifying the implied subject of "był" (was). More commonly, it appears in constructions indicating the manner or means by which something is received.

The verb "otrzymywać" itself can refer to a wide range of actions, from physically accepting an object to acquiring knowledge or a benefit. Therefore, "otrzymywanym" can be used in contexts related to receiving gifts, information, treatment, or any other form of acquisition. Understanding its role as a passive participle and its specific case ending is crucial for correct grammatical usage in Polish sentences.
