wykorzystujcy

Wykorzystujący is the present participle of the Polish verb wykorzystać/wykorzystywać, meaning to utilize, to make use of, or to exploit. It functions as an adjective describing a person or thing that uses something, for example in the phrase osoba wykorzystująca dane. The form wykorzystyujący (masculine singular) can be declined like a standard Polish adjective, with feminine and neuter variants such as wykorzystująca and wykorzystujące, and the plural forms wykorzystywani/wykorzystujące depending on gender and number. The spelling without the diacritic in the root (wykorzystujacy) is a common misspelling; the correct form is wykorzystyujący.

Etymology and meaning: The word combines the prefix wy- (out, away, completion) with the verb korzystać (to use, to benefit) and the participial suffix -jący. The core sense is “one who uses” or “utilizing.” In neutral contexts it simply denotes usage; in more critical contexts it can carry a sense of exploitation, depending on what is being used and how.

Usage in Polish: Wykorzystujący is used primarily as an attributive adjective or in compound expressions such as wykorzystywany zasób (a resource that is being utilized) or firma wykorzystująca technologię. It is common in business, legal, and technical writing to describe processes, tools, or agents that perform utilization. The nuance ranges from neutral utility to negative connotation if exploitation or taking advantage is implied.

Related terms: wykorzystanie (utilization, use), wykorzystać (to utilize, to exploit), użytkować (to operate or use, often in a more general sense), eksploatować (to exploit, with a stronger negative tone).
