naudojimasis

Naudojimasis is a Lithuanian noun that denotes the act or process of using something. It is a verbal noun formed from the verb naudotis (to use, to make use of) with the suffix that expresses an action or activity. The term is typically found in formal, administrative, or technical contexts to refer to the way resources, tools, or services are employed.

Etymology and grammar notes: Naudojimasis is part of a family of nominalized forms derived from verbs of use. As a noun, it carries a sense of practice or procedure rather than a single act, and it often marks statements about how something should be used, how it is used in practice, or rights and rules related to usage. The exact case form of the accompanying noun can vary with context and construction.

Usage and examples: Common occurrences include phrases such as naudojimasis internetu (the use of the Internet) and naudojimasis elektroninėmis paslaugomis (the use of electronic services). It can also appear in policy or guideline language, for example, referring to usage rules (naudojimosi taisyklės) or to the limits and conditions of use. In contrast to more general terms for use, such as naudojimas, naudojimasis tends to emphasize the act as carried out by an individual or organization within a given framework.
