Padarytas

Padarytas is a Lithuanian past passive participle of the verb padaryti, meaning to do or to make. It describes a completed action and often functions as an adjective in front of a noun or within a passive construction to indicate that something has been finished or produced. In English it is commonly rendered as “done,” “made,” or “completed.”

Etymology and usage context: The form is created by adding the prefix pa- to the verb daryti, signaling that the action has been completed. As a participle, padarytas agrees with the associated noun in gender and number, and it can appear in masculine singular (padarytas), feminine singular (padaryta), and plural forms (for example padarytos for feminine plural). It is used in various syntactic positions, including as part of a noun phrase or in compound predicates, often in past or present perfect contexts.

Examples of usage:

- Darbas padarytas per naktį. The work was done overnight.

- Padaryta klaida. A mistake was made.

- Padarytos klaidos buvo ištaisytos. The mistakes were corrected.

Nuances: Padarytas emphasizes the result of an action rather than the agent. It contrasts with active verb forms such as padarė (he/she did) and with other passive constructions that may use different participles or synonyms depending on register and nuance. In everyday Lithuanian, padarytas and its forms are common in descriptive phrases, headlines, and summaries where the finished state of a task or object is being reported.
