Planuojama

Planuojama is a Lithuanian word that functions as the feminine singular form of the present passive participle of the verb planuoti, meaning to plan. In use, it describes something that is planned or intended to occur in the future. The term frequently appears in official, administrative, or media language to indicate scheduled actions, dates, or programs.

Etymology and form: planuoti comes from the root planned action, and planuoti’s present passive participle yields planuojama. As a participle used as an adjective, planuojama agrees with feminine nouns in number and case, for example planuojama data (the planned date), planuojama programa (the planned program), or planuojama procedūra (the planned procedure). For masculine nouns, the corresponding form is planuojamas, and for neuter nouns the form varies with grammatical case.

Usage: Planuojama is commonly found in announcements, project descriptions, and news reports to convey that certain elements are scheduled or intended. It often appears alongside other planning terms such as data, programa, or veikla to specify what is set to take place. The word conveys a sense of forethought and scheduling without asserting that the action has already occurred.

Related terms: While planuojama is specific to describing planned items in the feminine form, speakers may use related forms of the same verb to match gender and number, or synonymous expressions like numatoma (also meaning “is/are planned” or “is/are expected”). Planuojama thus remains a standard tool in Lithuanian for indicating future-oriented plans in a neutral, informative tone.
