smujících

Smujících is a term that appears in discussions of Czech grammar as a form rather than a standalone word. It represents the genitive plural of the present active participle smující, which would be derived from a hypothetical verb smujit. The form is not a standard lexical item found in dictionaries and does not occur in typical prose; it is primarily used to illustrate inflectional patterns in participles.

Form and function: In Czech, present active participles end in -ící in the masculine singular and have corresponding inflected endings for other cases and numbers. The genitive plural of such a participle is typically -ících. Therefore, if the verb smujit existed and produced the participle smující, its genitive plural would be smujících. Because smujit is not attested in standard Czech, smující and smujících function mainly as grammatical examples rather than as commonly used words.

Usage and notes: Smujících is most relevant in grammar willows or pedagogical contexts where learners explore how participles decline. In ordinary texts, speakers would instead encounter real verbs and their participles. The form helps illustrate how identical suffixes can carry tense, aspect, and case information in Czech.

Examples: A purely grammatical illustration would be smujících lidí, meaning “of the smující people” in a context discussing morphology. Because the verb is hypothetical, such phrases have no established semantic content outside of grammatical demonstration.
