jungiantys

Jungiantys is a Lithuanian present active participle derived from the verb jungti, meaning to join or connect. It functions as an adjective or as part of a participial construction and is used to describe nouns that perform or participate in joining actions. As with other participles, jungiantys agrees with the modified noun in gender and number and can appear in attributive position before the noun or in a predicative role after the linking verb. It is one of several forms in the Lithuanian participle system, alongside present and past passive and active participles, and is particularly common in technical, descriptive, or scholarly language where processes of joining, coupling, linking, or uniting are being specified.

Formation and usage: The form jungiantys represents the present active participle. The endings change to match gender and number, so there are masculine, feminine, singular and plural variants. In practice, the base form is used in neutral or plural contexts and additional endings adjust for the noun. The participle can introduce participial phrases that convey simultaneity with the main verb or describe the noun from a processual viewpoint.
