Dalyvauti

Dalyvauti is a Lithuanian verb meaning to participate or take part in an activity, event, or process. It denotes active involvement rather than mere presence and is widely used across formal and informal contexts, from education and government to culture and sport.

Etymology and usage: the verb is built from the noun dalis (part) with a productive verbal suffix and is used with phrases in the locative case to indicate the context of participation, for example dalyvauti konferencijoje (to participate in a conference), dalyvauti konkurse (to participate in a competition), dalyvauti rinkimuose (to participate in elections). It is intransitive, typically requiring a complement that names the event or activity rather than a direct object.

Conjugation and examples: in present tense the forms are dalyvauju, dalyvauji, dalyvauja, dalyvaujame, dalyvaujate, dalyvauja. Past tense forms include dalyvavau, dalyvavai, dalyvavo, dalyvavome, dalyvavote, dalyvavo. Example sentences: Aš dalyvauju konferencijoje. Tu dalyvauji susitikime. Jie dalyvavo rinkimuose. These forms may vary slightly with dialectal or stylistic factors.
