Perteikta

Perteikta is a Lithuanian term used in grammar to describe information or content that has been conveyed or transmitted. It is the past passive participle of the verb perteikti, which means to convey, transmit, or present. In usage, perteikta indicates that something has been passed along from one source to another, rather than created anew or simply received.

Etymology and morphology: Perteiktа is formed from the prefix per- meaning through or across, combined with teikti (to offer or provide). As a past passive participle, perteikta agrees with the noun it modifies and is commonly used with feminine singular nouns such as informacija or ziniа. The sense centers on the act of transmission or relay of content.

Usage: Perteikta appears predominantly in formal, scientific, journalistic, and legal styles. It emphasizes the transfer of information rather than its original creation. It can also function in a broader sense to denote something that has been relayed or reported by others, as opposed to being firsthand.

Examples:

- Perteikta informacija buvo patikima. (The conveyed information was reliable.)

- Ši žinutė buvo perteikta keliems susijusiems padaliniams. (This message was transmitted to several related departments.)

- Tyrėjai įvertino perteiktos istorijos tikslumą. (Researchers assessed the accuracy of the conveyed story.)
