atsakysiu

Atsakysiu is a Lithuanian verb form meaning “I will answer.” It is the first-person singular future tense (future indicative) of the verb atsakyti, which means to answer or respond. The form is built from the stem atsak- and the future ending -ysiu, typical for many Lithuanian verbs of the -yti infinitive class.

Etymology and meaning: atsakyti derives from the root sak- (to say) with the prefix at-, conveying the idea of giving a response or replying. The word is commonly used to express a commitment to provide an answer in the future, rather than a present or past action.

Usage: Atsakysiu is used in both spoken and written Lithuanian to indicate that the speaker will respond at a later time. It can appear in direct statements, responses to questions, or in conditional contexts where a future reply is expected. Examples include: Atsakysiu į klausimą rytoj. (I will answer the question tomorrow.) Kai kas nors paklaus, atsakysiu. (When someone asks, I will answer.)

Grammatical notes: Atsakysiu belongs to a pattern of -yti verbs forming the first-person singular future with -ysiu. Other persons follow a consistent system (tu atsakysi, jis atsakys, mes atsakysime, jūs atsakysite, jie atsakys), with corresponding past and present forms existing in Lithuanian conjugation.

Related terms: The noun atsakymas means “an answer” or “a reply.” The verb atsakyti and its derivatives are widely used in everyday language, media, and formal writing to discuss responses and communication.
