konvertuoti

Konvertuoti is a Lithuanian verb meaning to convert or change something from one form, state, or belief to another. It is used in a broad range of contexts, including religious conversion (konvertuoti į tikėjimą), technical transformations (konvertuoti failą arba duomenis), and everyday changes such as unit or currency conversion (konvertuoti matmenis, konvertuoti valiutą).

Origin and form: The word is a loanword from the international concept of conversion and follows Lithuanian verb morphology with the infinitive ending -uoti. It has cognates in related languages, such as Polish konwertować, Russian konvertirovat’, and English convert. The corresponding noun is konvertavimas, and the past participle is konvertuotas; the present participle can be konvertuojamas when describing something undergoing conversion.

Usage notes: In computing and finance, konvertuoti is standard for changing data formats or currencies. In religious contexts, it denotes adopting a different faith. In everyday language, it can be supplemented by more specific terms (for example, paversti) when emphasizing a broader transformation rather than a technical change.
