Redaguojant

Redaguojant is a Lithuanian verbal non-finite form derived from the verb redaguoti, meaning "to edit" or "to revise." It functions as a gerund or adverbial participle and is used to express ongoing or simultaneous action. In practice, redaguojant often corresponds to the English phrase "while editing" or "editing" in a descriptive sense.

In Lithuanian grammar, redaguojant is used to introduce adverbial information about how, when, or under what circumstances something is done. It typically appears before or after the main clause and is usually separated by a comma. The form indicates that the action of editing occurs at the same time as the action described by the main verb.

Usage examples include: Redaguojant tekstą, patikrinkite skyrybą. This translates to "While editing the text, check the punctuation." Another example is Redaguojant dokumentą, saugokite konfidencialią informaciją, meaning "While editing the document, protect confidential information." The construction is common in journalism, publishing, and any writing or revision workflow.

Related forms include redaguoti (to edit), redaguojamas (being edited), redagavimas (editing as a process), and redagavęs (having edited). Redaguojant differs from these in that it specifically marks a concurrent, ongoing editing action rather than a completed one or a general skill.
