naudoju

Naudoju is the first-person singular present tense form of the Lithuanian verb naudoti, meaning "I use" or "I am using." It is a common transitive verb that denotes employing an object, method, or resource in the current moment or as a general habit. The verb is used with a direct object in the accusative case to identify what is being used, such as tools, technologies, or procedures.

In practical use, naudoti appears across many contexts, including everyday activities, education, and work. For example, Aš naudoju kompiuterį darbui (I use a computer for work). The verb can also take more abstract objects, such as a technique or language, as in Aš naudoju naują metodą (I use a new method). Lithuanian also has a reflexive variant, naudotis, meaning to make use of something or to take advantage of resources, often with the preposition or case construction appropriate to the context. For instance, Aš naudojuosi internetu (I make use of the Internet).

Other related forms include the infinitive naudoti, the past forms naudojo/naudota, and the noun naudojimas, which denotes usage or the act of using. The verb forms the basis for many routine expressions about tools, methods, and resources in Lithuanian, reflecting the language’s emphasis on precise object-verb relationships. Overall, naudoju functions as a standard, versatile form in contemporary Lithuanian.
