utikrindami

Utikrindami is not a standard term in Lithuanian vocabulary. In most contexts it is likely a misspelling or diacritic-free rendering of the verb form uz tikrindami, the present adverbial participle of uz tikrinti, meaning “to ensure” or “to guarantee.” When correctly written as uz tikrindami or uz tikrindami, the form signals an accompanying circumstance in a sentence, roughly translating to “by ensuring” or “while ensuring.”

In usage, the participle expresses that the action of the main clause occurs in conjunction with the action of the participle. It often precedes or follows the main clause and is separated by a comma. The subject of the participle generally matches the subject of the main clause. For example: Uz tikrindami duomenų saugumą, įmonė diegia papildomas priemones. This means “By ensuring data security, the company implements additional measures.”

Morphology aside from orthography, uz tikrindami is formed from the verb uztikrinti “to ensure” with the present participle suffix -dami. It is used mainly in formal or written Lithuanian to introduce a clause that describes the conditions or means by which the main action is carried out. The form without diacritics may appear in plain text, OCR output, or informal writing, where it should be interpreted as uztikrindami if the intended meaning is “by ensuring.”
