Atnaujinta is a Lithuanian word that functions as an adjective meaning updated or renewed. It is the past passive participle form derived from the verb atnaujinti, which means to update, refresh, or renew. The term is used to describe content or objects that have undergone an update and are therefore more current than before.

Etymology and grammar

The word is built from the prefix at- plus the root nauj- from naujas, meaning new, combined with the verb form naujinti to renew. As an adjective, atnaujinta agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies. Common examples include atnaujinta versija (updated version) and atnaujintas dokumentas (updated document). In practice, the form is chosen to match the noun’s gender: feminine nouns typically take atnaujinta, while masculine nouns take atnaujintas.
