prowadzcych

Prowadzących is a grammatical form of the Polish verb prowadzić, meaning to lead or conduct. It is the present active participle in its genitive plural (and other declined forms) used to describe people who lead, operate, or manage something. In Polish, participles can function as adjectives or as parts of noun phrases, allowing this form to modify nouns or appear in relative clauses.

Grammatical function and usage

Prowadzących originates from the masculine personal participle prowadzący and appears in the genitive plural form. It typically agrees with a head noun in genitive plural, for example in phrases like osoby prowadzących projekt (persons leading the project) or to indicate the group of people who perform a leading role. In such constructions, prowadzących does not stand alone as a noun but forms a compound modifier or a complement within a larger noun phrase. The same root form can appear in other cases to fit a sentence’s grammar, while preserving the core meaning: those who lead or direct.

Common contexts

The term is frequent in formal, administrative, and legal language, where it helps specify roles or responsibilities. It often appears in expressions such as osoby prowadzących działalność gospodarczą (persons conducting business activity) or grupa osób prowadzących projekty, clarifying who is responsible for leadership or supervision.

Relation to related terms

Prowadzących is linked to prowadzić (to lead) and prowadzący (the leader or person leading) and is part of a broader family of participial forms used for attributive or substantive purposes in Polish.
