Kartojasi

Kartojasi is a Lithuanian verb meaning to occur again, to recur, or to repeat itself. It is used to describe events, patterns, or phenomena that reoccur over time or in a given context.

Linguistically, kartojasi is formed from the root kartoti (to repeat) with the reflexive suffix -si, creating an intransitive, impersonal sense. It emphasizes recurrence rather than an intentional action by a subject.

Usage examples include phrases such as “Problemos kartojasi” (the problems recur) or “Klaidos kartojasi šio tyrimo metu” (the mistakes recur during this study). In literary or musical contexts, “motyvas kartojasi” describes a motif that repeats, sometimes with variation.

In grammar, kartojasi is a present-tense form used with third-person subjects; it often appears in impersonal or reflexive constructions. It can express recurring events in scientific, journalistic, or everyday language without specifying an actor.
