pasigirdo

Pasigirdo is a term of Lithuanian origin that translates to "it was heard" or "audible." It describes a phenomenon where a sound becomes perceptible or noticeable. This can refer to anything from a faint whisper in a quiet room to a loud explosion. The context in which pasigirdo is used often implies a transition from silence or near-silence to the presence of sound.

The word can be employed in various situations. In literature, it might be used to describe the sudden appearance of a character's voice or the emergence of a background noise that adds atmosphere to a scene. In everyday conversation, it could be used to indicate that a previously unheard sound has now become apparent. For example, someone might say "Pasigirdo, a dog barking" to denote that the sound of a dog's bark has just become noticeable.

The concept of pasigirdo is not limited to spoken words or specific noises; it can apply to any sensory input that is perceived through hearing. The clarity and distinctness of the sound are not necessarily implied, only its presence. Therefore, even a subtle or muffled sound can be described as having "pasigirdo" if it crosses the threshold of audibility. This simple yet descriptive term captures the fundamental experience of sound becoming a part of one's awareness.
