Formuojama

Formuojama is the feminine singular present passive participle of the Lithuanian verb formuoti, meaning to form or to shape. It denotes an action in progress or a state arising from formation and functions as an attribute or a predicate in sentences. Like other participles, formuojama agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case, and there are corresponding masculine and neuter forms (for example, formuojamas).

Usage

Formuojama is commonly used in technical, scientific, and descriptive language to indicate that something is being formed or shaped rather than completed. It can appear before a noun as an attributive modifier or as part of a compound verbal construction in a sentence.

Examples

Medžiaga formuojama specialiais įrankiais. (The material is formed with special tools.)

Procedūra formuojama etapais. (The procedure is developed in stages.)

Ši plokštelė formuojama iš polimerų. (This plate is formed from polymers.)

Grammatical notes

Formuojama is one form among a set of participial forms that align with the noun’s gender, number, and case. The active counterpart is formuojantis, which describes the subject performing the action of forming. The passive forms help express processes, development, or evolutionary states in a neutral, objective manner.
