ijungti

ijungti, properly written as įjungti, is a Lithuanian verb meaning to turn on, switch on, activate, or to connect a device or system to power or operation. The verb expresses putting something into an active state. The prefix į- conveys direction toward or into that state, while jungti itself carries the sense of joining or linking.

The standard spelling uses the diacritic on the initial i (į). In contexts where diacritics are omitted, it is commonly written as ijungti. It is a transitive verb and is used with direct objects such as šviesa (the light), televizorius (the television), or kompiuteris (the computer).

Common usages include: įjungti šviesą (to turn on the light), įjungti įrenginį (to power on a device), and įjungti kompiuterį (to boot up the computer). The verb forms regularly in Lithuanian conjugation; for example, past tense forms such as įjungiau (I turned on) and įjungė (he/she turned on) are typical. The participle įjungtas describes something that is turned on, e.g., įjungtas įrenginys (a device that is on). The imperative forms are įjunk (turn on, singular) and įjunkite (turn on, plural or formal).

The opposite verb is išjungti, meaning to switch off or deactivate. Related forms include išjungtas (turned off) and the noun jungimas (the act of turning on) or įjungimas (the act of turning on). In everyday usage, įjungti is the standard term across electronics, computing, and general instruction for activating equipment or systems.
