### Etymology

Inherited from Late Proto-Slavic *-ęťь, a present active participial suffix. Doublet of -я́щий (-jáščij), a borrowing from Old Church Slavonic -ѧщи (-ęšti) which replaced this suffix as the normal present participle suffix. See also the present active participle section of Template:cu-conj-i-type.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: [ˈʲæt͡ɕɪj]

### Suffix

-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”)

#### 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.
