proponujc

Proponujc is an ASCII variant of the Polish gerund form proponując, which corresponds to the present adverbial participle of the verb proponować, meaning to propose. In correct Polish orthography, the form is proponując, written with a diacritic on the a and c. The term denotes a non-finite verbal form used to express a concurrent or accompanying action, similar to “proposing” or “while proposing” in English.

Morphology and function: proponując is a verbal adverbial participle formed from the imperfective verb proponować. It describes an action performed by the subject at the same time as the action of the main clause. It is typically used to introduce a circumstance or to add descriptive detail about the subject’s activity, without creating a new finite clause. Examples include: Proponując nowe rozwiązanie, zwrócił uwagę na ryzyko. (While proposing a new solution, he drew attention to the risk.)

Usage notes: As a non-finite form, proponując does not change for person or number; its subject is usually the same as the main clause’s subject. It is common in formal or literary Polish and often appears at the beginning of a subordinate clause or immediately before the main clause to set the circumstance.

Orthography and transliteration: The standard Polish spelling is proponując. In plain ASCII texts, it may appear as proponując or, less correctly, as proponujac. The form proponujc is not standard in Polish orthography and should be avoided; it can be perceived as a misspelling when diacritics are stripped. See also: proponować, propozycja.
