teikiame

Teikiame is a Lithuanian verb form meaning "we provide" or "we offer." It is the first-person plural present tense of the verb teikti, which means to provide, to offer, or to give. The verb teikti is used across contexts to denote supplying services, information, or assistance.

Etymology and form: Teikti comes from Baltic language roots, and teikiame is formed by adding the present-tense ending for the subject "mes" (we). The present tense has forms for other subjects as well, such as teikiu (I provide) and teikia (he/she provides; they provide), with teikiame specifically indicating a collective action by the speaker and others.

Usage: In written and spoken Lithuanian, teikiame appears in sentences that state capabilities or offerings. Examples: "Teikiame paslaugas" (We provide services), "Teikiame informaciją" (We provide information), "Teikiame pagalbą" (We provide assistance). It is common in business, public administration, and customer communications, where an organization communicates what it offers to clients or partners.

Nuance and registers: The form is neutral and largely depends on context to identify the subject. It can appear in both formal and informal discourse, though it is especially frequent in professional and organizational communication to denote ongoing provision or commitment.
