przechowujcy

Przechowujacy, properly spelled przechowujący in Polish, is the present active participle of the verb przechowywać, meaning to store or keep. The form translates roughly as “the one who stores” or “storing,” and it can function as an adjective identifying a subject or object that performs storage. In ASCII renderings, the form is sometimes written as przechowujacy.

Grammar and usage. The participle attaches to nouns to describe an ongoing action by the subject, with gender and number agreeing with the noun: przechowujący (masculine singular), przechowująca (feminine singular), przechowujące (neuter), and plural forms such as przechowujący, przechowujące, etc. It is distinct from the passive past participle przechowywany, which means “stored” or “kept” in a completed sense. As an adjective, przechowujący can appear in legal, technical, or descriptive text to specify a role or function, for example “osoba przechowująca dane” (a person storing data) or “system przechowujący pliki” (a data-storage system).

Etymology and related terms. It stems from the prefix prze- plus the imperfective verb przechowywać. Related nouns include przechowywanie (storage or keeping) and przechowywanie danych (data storage). The construct is common in technical Polish to describe agents or mechanisms engaged in storing items, information, or materials.

Notes. While grammatically straightforward, przechowujący is more typical in formal or technical writing than in everyday speech. Its use emphasizes ongoing action and agency in the act of storing.
