pasiekta

Pasiekta is a Lithuanian word that denotes something has been achieved or reached. It functions as the past passive participle of the verb pasiekti (to reach, to achieve) and can also be used as an adjective. In use, it describes a noun with the sense of a completed or attained state. For example, pasiekta pažanga means progress that has been achieved, and pasiektas tikslas means a goal that has been reached.

As a participle, pasiekta agrees with the noun in gender and number. The masculine form is pasiektas, the feminine form is pasiekta. In plural contexts, the participial form changes to agree with the corresponding plural noun, following standard Lithuanian participle agreement rules. This makes pasiekta versatile in both descriptive phrases and compound predicates.

Etymologically, pasiekta is derived from the prefixed verb pasiekti, which itself comes from pa- plus siekti (to strive or to seek) and marks a completed, perfective action. The prefix pa- indicates a resulting state after an attempt or effort.

In contemporary Lithuanian, pasiekta appears in formal writing, reports, and journalism to succinctly convey that objectives, milestones, or levels have been attained. It is commonly paired with nouns for achievements, measurements, or goals, and is often contrasted with forms indicating ongoing or future actions. See also: pasiekti, siekti, lietuvių gramatika.
