skirsiu

Skirsiu is the first-person singular future tense form of the Lithuanian verb skirti, which means to separate, to allocate, or to devote. In standard usage, skirsiu expresses an intention to perform the action in the future and is commonly used when talking about devoting time, attention, or resources to someone or something.

In practice, skirsiu is employed with a direct object in the accusative to indicate what is being devoted, and with various phrases or objects to indicate the recipient or purpose. Examples include: Aš skirsiu laiką tam projektui (I will devote time to that project) and Aš skirsiu dėmesį šiam klausimui (I will devote attention to this issue). The form is also used in more formal or written Lithuanian.

Linguistic note: skirsiu is part of the standard Lithuanian verbal system and forms the future tense for the first person singular by adding the appropriate ending to the verb stem. Related forms include skiriu (present), skirs (third person singular, future or present depending on tense), and skyriau (past). The verb skirti itself has several nuances, including meanings related to separating, assigning, or dedicating, and it frequently appears in idiomatic expressions such as skirti laiką, skirti dėmesį, or skirti resursus.
