Vykdant

Vykdant is the present active participle form of the Lithuanian verb vykdyti, meaning to carry out, perform, or execute. In grammar it functions as a non-finite verb form used to express ongoing or simultaneous action and is commonly translated into English as “carrying out” or “executing.”

As a gerund-like form, Vykdant appears in adverbial phrases that describe the manner or timing of the main action. It does not stand alone as a simple noun, but it can introduce subordinate constructions that modify the main clause. Typical usage includes phrases such as vykdant užduotį or vykdant projektą, where the verb’s action accompanies the primary verb.

Common contexts include formal writing, administrative language, and descriptive narration. Vykdant provides a concise way to link actions without repeating the subject or introducing additional verbs. Its object, when present, is placed in the accusative case (for example, vykdant projektą).

Examples of usage include: Vykdant projektą, komanda laikosi grafiko. Vykdant saugos protokolus, darbuotojai užtikrina saugumą. These constructions convey that the main action is performed while another activity is taking place.

Etymology and related forms: Vykdant derives from the verb vykdyti, with the -ant suffix forming a non-finite, ongoing-action form. Related terms include vykdyti (to perform), vykdymas (the act of performing), and other verbal derivatives formed with the same root.
