oznaczajcy

Oznaczajacy is not a standard Polish form; the correct spelling in Polish is oznaczający. The word is a present participle derived from the verb oznaczać, meaning to mark, denote or indicate. As a participle it functions as an adjective and is used to describe something that serves to indicate or designate another thing.

As a participle, oznaczający inflects like an ordinary adjective, agreeing with gender and number of the noun it modifies. For example: masculine singular — oznaczający znak (a sign that indicates); feminine singular — oznaczająca flaga (a flag that indicates); neuter singular — oznaczające słowo (a word that indicates); plural forms adapt accordingly to form phrases such as oznaczający znaki or oznaczające symbole, depending on the noun’s gender and number. In many contexts it appears in compounds and technical language, where it qualifies nouns referring to signs, labels, markers, or indicators.

Common usage includes phrases like słowo oznaczające, znak oznaczający, and czynnik oznaczający, all meaning “the word/sign/factor that indicates.” The term is frequently found in linguistics, logic, data annotation, and documentation, where it helps characterize elements that point to or designate another referent.

Orthography and variants: the form without diacritics, oznaczajacy, is often encountered in plain-text or older digital formats, but it is considered incorrect in standard Polish. The appropriate form with diacritics is oznaczający, with feminine oznaczająca and neuter oznaczające, and they decline like adjectives.
