Pasisavinusi

Pasisavinusi is a feminine singular form of the Lithuanian past active participle derived from the verb pasisavinti. It denotes a subject that has already acquired, absorbed, or adopted something, reflecting a completed action. The masculine form is pasiavinęs, and the participle agrees with the subject in gender and number.

In usage, pasiavinusi is employed to describe someone who has internalized knowledge, skills, habits, or ideas, or who has appropriated possessions or rights. It can appear in both literal and figurative contexts, such as acquiring a language, mastering a technique, or adopting cultural practices. For example: Pasisavinusi naują kalbą, ji gali skaityti įrašus be pagalbos (Having absorbed a new language, she can read the records without help).

Morphology and syntax considerations: pasiavinusi functions as a past active participle and can modify a feminine subject or be part of a participial phrase, often set off from the main clause by commas when it provides background information. Other related forms include pasiavinęs (masc sing) and pasiavinusi (fem sing), with corresponding plural and genitive forms used in different grammatical constructions.

Etymology: the verb pasisavinti combines prefix pa- with the root sav- or savin- related to owning or possessing, conveying the sense of taking something for oneself and making it one's own.
