trwajcym

Trwajcym is a nonstandard ASCII variant of the Polish present participle trwający, derived from the verb trwać, meaning to last or endure. In standard Polish, the masculine singular instrumental and locative forms of this participle are trwającym. The form trwajcym is not listed in modern orthography and is typically considered a misspelling or an artifact of omitting diacritics; the correct ASCII rendering without diacritics would be trwacym or the diacritic form trwającym, depending on the case.

Morphology and usage: trwający is a present active participle that functions like an adjective, describing an ongoing state. It declines like a regular adjective, with the masculine singular instrumental/locative form trwającym, feminine forms such as trwającą, and neuter forms like trwające. It is used to express that something is continuing or enduring at the time of reference. For example, after a preposition requiring the locative, one often uses the form trwającym: w trwającym procesie (in the ongoing process) or w trwającym roku (in the ongoing year). The phrase can also appear attributively in nominative constructions: trwający proces.

Examples:

- Projekt jest w trwającym etapie. (The project is in an ongoing stage.)

- W trwającym procesie sądowym pojawiły się nowe dowody. (In the ongoing legal process, new evidence appeared.)
