Trauktas

Trauktas is a Lithuanian term that functions as the past passive participle of the verb traukti, meaning to pull or to drag. As an adjective, it describes something that has been pulled or drawn. In everyday usage it appears in contexts involving physical movement, such as describing a vehicle or object that has been towed; for example, trauktas automobilis can be understood as “a car that has been towed.” The form agrees with the noun in gender and number, with masculine singular often appearing as trauktas, feminine singular as traukta, and plural forms following standard Lithuanian participial patterns.

In linguistic terms, trauktas expresses a resultative state resulting from the action of pulling. It can appear in attributive position within noun phrases or in broader passive constructions with auxiliary verbs. While primarily descriptive of physical pulling, it may be extended to metaphorical or technical contexts where something has been drawn or extracted, though this usage is less common.

Etymology and morphology: traukti is the base verb, and the participle is formed with the suffix -tas, yielding trauktas in the masculine singular. The feminine form is traukta, with corresponding plural forms for masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns as dictated by Lithuanian grammar.
