EtymologyEdit
Inherited from Late Proto-Slavic *-ęťь, a present active participial suffix. Doublet of -я́щий (-jáščij), the normal present participle suffix, a borrowing from Old Church Slavonic.
PronunciationEdit
SuffixEdit
-я́чий • (-jáčij)
- Adjective-forming suffix, added to intransitive verbs, particularly class 4 verbs (in -ить (-itʹ)) and class 5 verbs (in -еть (-etʹ) or -ять (-jatʹ)), indicating being in the state of that verb.
- висе́ть (visétʹ, “to hang”) + -я́чий (-jáčij) → вися́чий (visjáčij, “hanging, suspended”)
- ходи́ть (xodítʹ, “to walk”) + -я́чий (-jáčij) → ходя́чий (xodjáčij, “walking; current”)
- стоя́ть (stojátʹ, “to stand”) + -я́чий (-jáčij) → стоя́чий (stojáčij, “standing; stagnant”)
- горе́ть (gorétʹ, “to burn”) + -я́чий (-jáčij) → горя́чий (gorjáčij, “hot; hot-tempered”)
Usage notesEdit
Note the following properties:
- The suffix is always stressed.
- The suffix is added to the present stem of the verb, minus any ending such as -ить (-itʹ), -еть (-etʹ), or -ять (-jatʹ). If the infinitival and present stem differ, the present stem is used.
