Traukiate

Traukiate is a Lithuanian verb form, the second-person plural present indicative of the verb traukti, which means to pull or to drag. It is used when addressing more than one person (or in formal address) to describe a present action.

Grammatically, traukti is a present-tense verb, and traukiate is formed from the stem trauk- with the ending -iate for the second person plural. The present indicative forms include aš traukiu, tu trauki, jis ji traukia, mes traukiame, jūs traukiate, jie traukia, illustrating its overall conjugation pattern within Lithuanian verb classes.

In common usage, traukiate appears in instructions, descriptions of ongoing actions, and narratives involving multiple subjects pulling or dragging something. The pronoun jums or jūs is often omitted in everyday speech when the subject is clear from context, since the verb ending already marks the second person plural.

Example sentences: Jūs traukiate virvę. (You are pulling the rope.) This form is also compatible with formal address when speaking to several people.

Etymology and related forms: traukti is a native Lithuanian verb meaning “to pull,” with traukiate representing a standard present-tense inflection. The form is part of a broader set of Baltic-language verb endings that mark person and number in present tense.
