Teikiantis

Teikiantis is the present active participle of the Lithuanian verb teikti, meaning to provide or to offer. In grammar, it functions as an adjective-like participle that describes a subject or an action performed by a subject, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number.

Formation and forms: Teikiantis is the masculine singular form. The feminine singular form is teikianti, and participles also have plural forms that agree with gender and number in a sentence (for example, teikiantys for masculine plural or teikiantos for feminine plural). The participle is used to convey an ongoing or habitual providing action and can appear in attributive phrases or relative clauses.

Usage: Teikiantis appears in sentences to identify someone or something that provides something. Examples include: “Žmogus teikiantis pagalbą” (a person providing help) and “Įmonė teikianti paslaugas” (a company providing services). The form emphasizes the act of providing and is common in formal, descriptive, or promotional language. It can function as part of a noun phrase or as a predicate in a clause, depending on syntactic needs.

Related notes: Teikiantis is derived from the verb teikti, which covers meanings such as to provide, to offer, to grant, or to present. The present active participle is one of several participial forms used in Lithuanian to create descriptive phrases, connecting actions to nouns without using a full relative clause.
