wirujcy

Wirujcy (often written without diacritics for technical or ASCII-only contexts; standard Polish: wirujący) is a Polish present-participial adjective meaning "whirling," "rotating," or "swirling." It derives from the noun wir ("whirl, vortex") and the verb-forming suffix -ować, with the participial suffix -jący that creates an adjectival form indicating ongoing action.

As an adjective, wirujący describes objects, flows, or motions characterized by rotation or circular movement. Common usages appear in descriptions of physical phenomena (e.g., wirujący przepływ — swirling flow), meteorological events (wirujący wiatr — whirling wind or gust), mechanical contexts (wirujący wał — rotating shaft), and artistic portrayals (wirujący taniec — whirling dance). The word inflects for gender, number, and case in Polish (wirujący, wirująca, wirujące, etc.).

In informal or technical writing where Polish diacritics are omitted, wirujcy serves as a practical ASCII representation, though it is not standard orthography. Pronunciation of the standard form is roughly "vee-roo-YAWN-tsee."

The term is primarily lexical and descriptive; it does not denote a specific concept beyond the general quality of rotating motion, and its meaning is determined by context and the noun it modifies.
