Izlemj

izlemj is a Latvian verb meaning to decide or determine after consideration. It describes the act of arriving at a conclusion about what action to take or which option to pursue. The verb is used when a person commits to a course of action or settles on a choice after weighing options. It is often used for decisions that imply action, rather than merely picking one item among several.

Etymology and form: The word is built from the prefix iz-, which often marks a completed or outward action, combined with a root related to lēmums (decision). The infinitive form is izlemt, and the third-person singular present tense is izlemj. Like other Latvian verbs, its forms vary by person and tense, following standard conjugation patterns.

Usage notes: Izlemj emphasizes the act of deciding and often precedes a commitment to a specific plan or course of action. It can be followed by a clause describing what is decided (ko darīt, kur doties) or by an object indicating the decision.

Examples: Viņš izlemj doties ceļā. He decides to set out on the journey. Viņa izlemj, ko darīt rīt. She decides what to do tomorrow. Viņš izlemj savu nākotni. He determines his future.
