nepanaudoti

Nepanaudoti is a Lithuanian verb meaning not to use or to refrain from using, and it can also describe something that remains unused. It is formed with the verb naudoti (to use) and the negation prefix ne-. The base verb panaudoti refers to utilizing or employing something, while nepanaudoti expresses the opposite.

Grammatically, nepanaudoti appears in non-finite forms such as the infinitive nepanaudoti. Its participial forms include nepanaudotas (masculine), nepanaudota (feminine), which function as adjectives describing nouns, for example nepanaudotos lėšos (unused funds) or nepanaudota įranga (unutilized equipment). The word is widely used in administrative, financial, and policy language to indicate resources that were not spent, allocated, or employed.
