pochodzcych

Pochodzących is a form of the Polish present participle from the verb pochodzić, meaning to originate or come from. It is used in grammar to indicate provenance or origin of a noun, functioning like an adjectival modifier. In standard usage, pochodzących is the genitive plural form of the participle pochodzący, and it commonly appears when the modifying noun is in the genitive or when the phrase is part of a larger clause.

In practice, pochodzących appears in phrases denoting origin. For example, in a sentence such as Brak osób pochodzących z Polski, the noun osób is in the genitive plural and pochodzących agrees with it in gender, number, and case, conveying the sense “of people originating from Poland.” Another example is Osoby pochodzące z Ukrainy pracują w firmie, where the feminine plural noun osoby is described by the participle in its nominative form to convey “people originating from Ukraine.”

Pochodzących can also appear in more complex clauses, for instance as part of a relative clause or a prepositional phrase, always aligning with the governing noun in case. The form is part of standard Polish morphology and is commonly found in formal writing, demographic reports, and descriptions of provenance.
