padengtas

Padengtas is a Lithuanian past passive participle of the verb padengti, meaning to cover or to coat. It denotes that a layer has been applied to a surface or object, so the item is described as having a coating or covering.

In practice, padengtas functions like an adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. Examples include padengtas paviršius (a coated surface), padengta plėvelė (a coated film), and padengti paviršiai (coated surfaces). The form changes to match masculine, feminine, or plural nouns, for instance padengtas one, padengta two, padengti three, depending on the noun.

Common contexts for the term are manufacturing, construction, materials science, and packaging, where it is used to summarize the finishing state of a surface without specifying the exact coating. Coatings may be paints, varnishes, metal plating, plastic films, or other protective layers. Phrases frequently used include padengtas dažais (coated with paint) and padengta plėvele (coated with a film).

The concept is typically contrasted with nepadengtas or nepadengta (uncovered or uncoated). While padengtas appears in technical and everyday Lithuanian, the precise meaning of the coating (its material, thickness, and purpose) is usually stated separately when needed. The term is a practical shorthand for describing surface treatments in documentation and communication among professionals.
