naujinti

Naujinti is a Lithuanian verb meaning to renew, refresh, update, or modernize something. It is formed from the adjective naujas (new) with the typical verb-forming suffix -inti, and it is used across a variety of contexts to indicate making something newer or more current.

Usage and scope

Naujinti is used with a direct object and often appears in contexts such as updating software, refreshing information, revising procedures, or modernizing systems and infrastructure. It can refer to data, programs, documents, or policies, as well as to physical objects or processes that are brought up to date or given a newer version. The intended sense is generally to increase currency, functionality, or relevance rather than to create something entirely from scratch.

Relation to related terms

The verb is related to atnaujinti (to update or refresh) and modernizuoti (to modernize). While atnaujinti emphasizes restoring current status or freshness, naujinti can carry a broader sense of making something new or current again, depending on context. Both exist side by side in contemporary Lithuanian and may overlap in usage.

Examples

Examples of use include updating software, renewing data records, or refreshing a website’s content. For instance, a company might naujinti programinę įrangą to provide the latest features, or an administrator might naujinti duomenis to ensure accuracy and up-to-date information.
