Alternative forms
  • -а́чий (-áčij) (after the unpaired sounds ч ж ш щ ц)

Etymology

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.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): [ˈʲæt͡ɕɪj]

Suffix

-я́чий • (-jáčij)

  1. 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 notes

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.
