poddajcych

Poddajcych is a term that appears only sporadically in discussions of Polish grammar and is not part of standard contemporary Polish. In most reputable grammars and dictionaries, it is not listed as a separate, regular form. The appearance of poddajcych is generally understood as a nonstandard variant, a historical orthographic artifact, or a transcriptional accident rather than a distinct morphological category.

Etymologically, poddajcych is linked to the verb poddawać or poddać, which means to subject, to surrender, or to place under. In standard modern Polish, the corresponding participial forms are poddający (present active participle, masculine singular) and poddających (genitive plural or accusative plural), among other agreed forms. The form poddajcych does not have an established place in the normative paradigm and is typically discussed only in the context of historical texts, dialectal variation, or orthographic variation.

Usage of poddajcych is therefore limited and context-dependent. When encountered in sources, it is usually treated as nonstandard or as an archaism, and its presence often prompts a check of the manuscript, date, or region of origin to determine whether it reflects old spelling, a dialectal variant, or a transcriptional error. There is no consensus on a stable grammatical status for poddajcych in modern Polish, and it remains of interest mainly to scholars studying the history of Polish morphology and orthography.
