Demontuoti

Demontuoti is a Lithuanian verb meaning to take apart, dismantle, or dismount. It is formed with the prefix de- attached to montuoti (to mount), indicating the reversal of the action. The term is commonly used in technical, construction, mechanical, and everyday contexts where a device, structure, or component is separated into parts.

Usage and scope: Demontuoti describes a deliberate act of disassembly, often for repair, maintenance, replacement, inspection, or transport. In many contexts it refers to removing parts from an assembled system rather than removing a whole object from a location. In everyday language, similar phrases include išmontuoti (detach a component) and išardyti (to dismantle). The noun form demontavimas denotes the act of dismantling, while demontuotas describes something that has been dismantled, and demontuojamas something that is being dismantled.

Examples: Technikas demontavo seną įrangą. Prieš bandant remontuoti, reikia demontuoti plokštę.
