pobudzajcym

Pobudzajcym is not a standard entry in Polish dictionaries. It is most likely a misspelling or informal variant of the instrumental singular form pobudzającym, which comes from the verb pobudzać (to awaken, stimulate, excite) and the present active participle suffix -jący. The correct form pobudzającym is the instrumental singular of the masculine (or neuter) present active participle pobudzający, used to modify a noun in instrumental case.

Formation and grammar: The present active participle of pobudzać is pobudzający (masculine singular nominative). Its other forms agree with the noun it modifies: pobudzająca (feminine), pobudzające (neuter). The instrumental singular, used for masculine and neuter nouns in that case, is pobudzającym. The feminine instrumental singular is pobudzającą. The form pobudzajcym lacks the proper diacritic marks and the nasal consonant required by Polish orthography, and is not considered correct standard Polish.

Usage: In Polish, participles function as adjectives, describing nouns or forming attributive phrases. Pobudzający or its declined forms describe something that causes stimulation or arousal. For example: Zjawiskiem pobudzającym apetyt był pewien środek. This sentence uses the neuter instrumental form pobudzającym to modify zjawiskiem. In everyday prose, the more common constructions use the base participle pobudzający (nominative) or pobudzające (neuter plural/infinitive phrases), depending on gender and number of the modified noun.
