Atjaunojot

Atjaunojot is a Latvian present adverbial participle formed from the verb atjaunot, which means to renew, restore, renovate, or rejuvenate. The form combines the idea of making something new again with a sense of ongoing action. The word is built from the prefix at- (indicating return or restoration) and the stem jaun- (new).

Grammatical function and usage: Atjaunojot is used to describe an action that accompanies another action, or to indicate the manner in which something is done. It typically appears in subordinate clauses or as an adverbial modifier, without an explicit subject in the participle phrase. Examples include sentences where the renewal process is the context in which another event occurs, such as “Atjaunojot sistēmu, inženieri uzlaboja drošību” or “Atjaunojot programmatūru, tiek uzlabota veiktspēja.”

Semantic range: The term covers renewing to a previous state, restoring function or appearance, and, in some contexts, modernizing or refreshing a system, infrastructure, or work process. It is distinct from related forms like atjaunināt (to update to a newer version) and atjaunots (the past passive participle meaning restored).

Related terms and notes: The base verb atjaunot has several related forms, including atjaunots (restored), atjaunināt (to update), and jaunums (something new). In technical or modernization contexts, atjaunojot emphasizes the ongoing process of renewal, while atjaunināšana focuses more on delivering a newer version.

Overall, atjaunojot functions as a concise, neutral descriptor for the act or process of renewing in Latvian discourse.
