Atstovaujamas

Atstovaujamas is a Lithuanian term formed as the passive participle of the verb atstovauti. It describes a person or entity that is being represented by another person or by an organization, most often in legal, administrative, or formal business contexts. In English, it can be understood as “being represented.”

Etymology and forms: The word derives from atstovauti, meaning to represent. The suffix -ujamas yields a passive participle, producing atstovaujamas (being represented). Related forms include atstovas (representative), atstovavimas (representation), and the active verb atstovauja (he/she represents). The passive participle contrasts with atstovaujamas, which denotes the state of having representation rather than the act of representing.

Usage: In legal documents, court proceedings, and corporate communications, atstovaujamas is used to indicate representation. Examples include: “Įmonė yra atstovaujama advokato” (The company is represented by a lawyer) and “Asmuo yra atstovaujamas teisme” (The person is represented in court). The construction often appears in formal or official texts to identify who represents a party in a given matter.

Contexts and related terms: The concept is common in civil law, corporate governance, and diplomatic or administrative settings. It is closely related to related terms such as atstovas (representative), atstovavimas (representation), and įgaliojimas (power of attorney). In diplomacy, related phrases describe diplomatic representation, while in everyday legal matters the focus is on authorized representation by agents or legal representatives.
