Teikimas

Teikimas is a Lithuanian noun that denotes the act of giving, offering, or presenting something, and in formal contexts it also refers to the submission of documents, proposals, or requests to an authority or organization. It is formed from the verb teikti “to give, to offer, to present” with the nominal suffix -imas, which marks an action or process.

In usage, teikimas appears mainly in formal, bureaucratic, or legal language. It can indicate:

- the act of presenting or offering something to another party, such as a proposal or bid, often with the agent expressed as teikėjas (the proposer);

- the submission of documents or applications to an institution, for example paraiškos teikimas (submission of applications) or duomenų teikimas komisijai (submission of data to the committee);

- a specific proposal or offer presented for consideration in a legislative or organizational context.

In relation to other terms, pateikimas is a broader synonym for submission, while teikimas emphasizes the act of offering itself. In more everyday language, words like pasiūlymas (offer) or paraiška (application) are common, but teikimas remains standard in formal texts.
