Svyruoja

Svyruoja is a Lithuanian verb form used in everyday language. In Lithuanian, svyruoja is the third-person singular present indicative of the verb svyruoti, which means to sway, wiggle, or oscillate. The sense covers physical motion, such as a tree swaying in the wind or a flag swaying in a breeze, as well as figurative use, such as opinions or positions that fluctuate.

The verb svyruoja is part of regular conjugation in the present tense. The full present tense paradigm is: aš svyruoju, tu svyruoji, jis/ji svyruoja, mes svyruojame, jūs svyruojate, jie/jos svyruoja. This pattern makes svyruoti relatively predictable for speakers learning Lithuanian, and svyruoja is commonly encountered in both spoken and written Lithuanian.

In usage, svyruoja appears in contexts describing motion or instability. Examples: Medis svyruoja nuo vėjo. (The tree sways from the wind.) Politikos nuomonės svyruoja priklausomai nuo naujų duomenų. (Opinions in politics fluctuate depending on new data.) The word can also convey a sense of wavering commitment or uncertainty when applied to decisions, positions, or attitudes.

Related forms include svyruojantis (swaying, oscillating) and svyravimas (the act or state of swaying or fluctuating). These terms share the same root and are used to describe both literal motion and figurative instability.
