Pakartosiu

Pakartosiu is a Lithuanian verb form meaning "I will repeat." It is the first-person singular future indicative form of the verb pakartoti, which means "to repeat." The form is used to express the speaker's intention to repeat something in the future, whether to restate information, clarify a point, or practice a word or phrase.

Etymology and form: pakartosiu is built from the infinitive pakartoti, with the prefix pa- and the stem kart- derived from kartoti (to repeat). The ending -siu marks the first-person singular future tense in this conjugation pattern. As a finite verb form, pakartosiu agrees with the subject in person and number, here referring to the speaker.

Usage: In everyday language, pakartosiu conveys a deliberate future action of repeating. For example, one might say, "Pakartosiu tai, kad visi suprastų," meaning "I will repeat that so that everyone understands." It can also indicate reiteration for practice or emphasis, such as "Aš pakartosiu žodžius kelis kartus" (I will repeat the words several times). In formal writing, it functions similarly to other future-tense assertions of repetition.

Relation to related terms: The base verb is pakartoti (to repeat). Related concepts include pakartojimas (repetition), kartoti (to repeat in general), and other conjugated forms used across different tenses and moods.

Pakartosiu thus serves as a concise, idiomatic way to express a planned repetition by the speaker in Lithuanian.
