Pateikiamas

Pateikiamas is a Lithuanian word that functions as the present passive participle of the verb pateikti, meaning to present or to submit. It denotes that something is being presented or submitted to someone, and it is commonly used in formal or bureaucratic contexts. As a participle, pateikiamas acts as an adjective that agrees with its noun in gender and number.

In grammar, pateikiamas is used to describe items in an ongoing submission process. It forms various agreement forms to match masculine singular (pateikiamas), feminine singular (pateikiama), masculine plural (pateikiami), and feminine plural (pateikiamos). It can appear in attributive position before a noun, as in pateikiamas dokumentas (a document that is being presented), or in feminine form before feminine nouns, as in pateikiama ataskaita (a report that is being presented). It may also occur in predicative constructions, for example, "dokumentas yra pateikiamas komisijai" (the document is being presented to the committee).

Pateikiamas is distinguished from related forms such as pateiktas, the past passive participle meaning “presented/submitted (already).” The nuance reflects tense or aspect: pateikiamas emphasizes current action or ongoing submission, while pateiktas emphasizes a completed action.

Originating from the verb pateikti, pateikiamas is part of standard Lithuanian administrative and academic language. It is used to describe processes, proposals, documents, or reports that are in the act of being presented or submitted to an authority or recipient.
