Augimui

Augimui is a linguistic form in Lithuanian. It is the dative singular of the noun augimas, which means growth or development. The word is used to indicate the indirect object, the beneficiary, or the purpose of an action, typically in phrases that express intent or allocation toward growth.

Etymology and form: augimui derives from the verb augti (to grow) with the nominal suffix -imas, plus the dative ending -ui. As a dative form, augimui answers questions such as “for growth” or “to growth” in sentences.

Usage: The form is common in economic, policy, and organizational language, especially when discussing plans, budgets, or measures aimed at fostering growth. It often appears with verbs like skirti (to allocate) or with noun phrases describing purposes. Examples include:

- Skirti lėšų augimui (to allocate funds for growth).

- Investicijos augimui (investments for growth).

- Augimui skirtos priemonės (measures intended for growth).

Context and nuance: Using augimui emphasizes purpose or benefit related to growth, rather than the noun itself. It is regularly found in formal writing, strategic documents, and government or corporate reporting in Lithuanian.
