duoti 30 सेकंड में
- The Lithuanian verb 'duoti' means 'to give'.
- It's used for both physical objects and abstract concepts.
- Conjugates extensively based on person, number, tense, and mood.
- Essential for basic communication in everyday Lithuanian.
- Root Meaning
- The fundamental action of transferring something from one person or entity to another, without expecting immediate return. It's about the act of giving.
- Everyday Usage
- Lithuanians use 'duoti' constantly in daily life. It's the go-to verb for any situation where something is handed over, offered, or bestowed. This can range from simple physical exchanges, like giving a pen, to more abstract concepts, such as giving advice or giving someone a chance.
- Beyond Physical Objects
- While often used for tangible items, 'duoti' extends to non-physical things. You can 'duoti' information, 'duoti' permission, 'duoti' a call, or even 'duoti' a hand in help. The core idea remains the transfer of something valuable or useful.
- Expressions of Gratitude and Obligation
- The act of giving implies a recipient, and 'duoti' is central to many social interactions. It's used when someone receives a gift, a favor, or even a punishment. Understanding 'duoti' is key to grasping the dynamics of exchange and reciprocity in Lithuanian culture.
- Common Scenarios
- Imagine shopping: you 'duoti' money to the cashier. When asking for directions, someone might 'duoti' you advice. A parent might 'duoti' their child a toy. A friend might 'duoti' you their phone number. A doctor might 'duoti' a prescription. The verb is ubiquitous.
Aš noriu duoti tau dovaną. (I want to give you a gift.)
Ar gali duoti man druskos? (Can you give me salt?)
Jis davė man patarimą. (He gave me advice.)
- Basic Structure
- The simplest form of using 'duoti' involves a subject (who is giving), the verb 'duoti' (in its appropriate conjugated form), and an object (what is being given). Often, there's also a recipient (to whom it is being given).
- Present Tense Conjugation
- In the present tense, 'duoti' conjugates as follows: Aš duodu (I give), Tu duodi (You give - singular informal), Jis/Ji duoda (He/She gives), Mes duodame (We give), Jūs duodate (You give - plural or singular formal), Jie/Jos duoda (They give).
- Past Tense Conjugation
- The past tense is also crucial. For masculine subjects: Aš daviau (I gave), Tu davei, Jis davė, Mes davėme, Jūs davėte, Jie davė. For feminine subjects, the endings are slightly different in some forms, but 'davė' is common for third person singular and plural.
- Future Tense
- The future tense is formed using the auxiliary verb 'būti' (to be) and the infinitive 'duoti': Aš būsiu duoti (I will give), Tu būsi duoti, Jis/Ji bus duoti, Mes būsime duoti, Jūs būsite duoti, Jie/Jos bus duoti.
- Giving to Someone
- To indicate the recipient, the dative case is typically used. For example, 'Aš duodu jam knygą' (I give him a book). 'Jam' is the dative form of 'jis' (he).
- Giving Something
- The item being given is usually in the accusative case. For example, in 'Aš duodu jam knygą', 'knygą' is the accusative form of 'knyga' (book).
Šiandien aš duodu tau obuolį. (Today I give you an apple.)
Praėjusią savaitę ji davė man pinigų. (Last week she gave me money.)
Rytoj mes duosime jiems dovaną. (Tomorrow we will give them a gift.)
- Family Interactions
- In Lithuanian families, 'duoti' is used constantly. Parents 'duoda' food to children, 'duoda' toys, 'duoda' permission to play outside. Siblings might 'duoti' each other snacks or share belongings. Grandparents often 'duoda' treats or advice.
- At the Marketplace and Shops
- When buying anything, the transaction involves 'duoti'. You 'duodate' money to the seller, and the seller 'duoda' you the goods. Bartering might involve 'duoti' one item for another. Even asking for a bag involves 'duoti' a request.
- Social Gatherings and Visits
- When visiting someone's home, guests might 'duoti' a small gift (like flowers or a bottle of wine). Hosts will 'duoti' food and drinks to their guests. Offering help with chores or conversation also uses 'duoti'.
- Educational Settings
- Teachers 'duoda' assignments to students. Students might 'duoti' answers to questions. Textbooks are 'duodami' to students. Information and knowledge are constantly being 'duodama'.
- Healthcare and Services
- Doctors 'duoda' prescriptions or medical advice. Mechanics 'duoda' estimates for repairs. Service providers 'duoda' bills for their work. It's a fundamental part of any service exchange.
- Public Announcements and Information
- Public notices often state what information is being 'duodama' or what actions are required. For example, 'Policija prašo duoti parodymus' (Police ask to give testimony).
Mama, ar gali duoti man užkandį? (Mom, can you give me a snack?)
Prašau, duokite man sąskaitą. (Please give me the bill.)
Mokytojas davė mums namų darbus. (The teacher gave us homework.)
- Incorrect Verb Conjugation
- A frequent error for beginners is using the infinitive 'duoti' when a conjugated form is required, or using the wrong ending for the subject or tense. For example, saying 'Aš duoti' instead of 'Aš duodu'.
- Misusing Cases (Dative and Accusative)
- Lithuanian has a complex case system. Learners often struggle with correctly forming the dative case for the recipient and the accusative case for the object. For instance, using the nominative instead of the dative: 'Aš duodu aš knygą' (incorrect) instead of 'Aš duodu jam knygą' (correct).
- Confusing 'Duoti' with Similar Verbs
- While 'duoti' is general, other verbs might be more specific. For example, 'pateikti' (to present) or 'perduoti' (to hand over, to transmit). Using 'duoti' when a more precise verb is needed can sound a bit too general or even slightly off.
- Ignoring Aspect (Perfective vs. Imperfective)
- Lithuanian verbs have aspect, indicating whether an action is completed or ongoing. While 'duoti' is generally imperfective, its perfective counterpart 'paduoti' exists. Misusing these can change the nuance of the sentence, though for beginners, the focus is often on mastering the basic forms of 'duoti'.
- Incorrect Word Order
- While Lithuanian word order is relatively flexible, standard patterns exist. Deviating too far can make a sentence sound unnatural. For example, placing the object before the recipient without proper emphasis might be less common.
Incorrect: Aš duoti jam raktą. (I give him key.)
Correct: Aš duodu jam raktą. (I give him the key.)
Incorrect: Aš duodu knyga jam. (I give book him.)
Correct: Aš duodu jam knygą. (I give him the book.)
Incorrect: Jis davė aš penki litai. (He gave I five litas.)
Correct: Jis davė man penkis litus. (He gave me five litas.)
- Perduoti (to hand over, to transmit)
- 'Perduoti' implies a more specific act of passing something along, often from one intermediary to another, or transmitting information. While 'duoti' is general giving, 'perduoti' can mean to pass a message, to hand over a package, or to transmit data.
Example: Aš perdavau tau jo laišką. (I handed over his letter to you.) vs. Aš davė tau laišką. (I gave you the letter.) - Pateikti (to present, to submit)
- 'Pateikti' is used when formally presenting something, such as a report, an application, or evidence. It suggests a more official or formal act of giving something for consideration or approval.
Example: Studentas turėjo pateikti savo darbą. (The student had to present his work.) vs. Studentas turėjo duoti savo darbą. (The student had to give his work - less formal/specific). - Suteikti (to grant, to bestow)
- 'Suteikti' is used for giving something abstract or intangible, like a title, a privilege, an opportunity, or a service. It often carries a sense of granting or bestowing.
Example: Vyriausybė suteikė jam apdovanojimą. (The government granted him an award.) vs. Vyriausybė davė jam apdovanojimą. (The government gave him an award - less formal). - Ateiti (to come) / Nueiti (to go) - in context of giving
- Sometimes, the act of giving is implied by the movement of the giver. For instance, instead of saying 'He will give me a book', one might say 'He will come to me with a book' ('Jis ateis pas mane su knyga'), implying the giving action.
- Pasiūlyti (to offer)
- 'Pasiūlyti' means to offer something, which is a precursor to giving. The offer might be accepted or rejected.
Example: Aš pasiūliau jam pagalbą. (I offered him help.) vs. Aš davė jam pagalbą. (I gave him help - implies it was accepted and given).
The nuances between 'duoti', 'perduoti', and 'suteikti' are subtle but important for precise communication.
How Formal Is It?
रोचक तथ्य

Using 'duoti' spontaneously in conversation requires quick recall of conjugations and appropriate vocabulary selection, especially when distinguishing it from similar verbs.

Both 'duoti' and 'perduoti' involve the act of transferring something. 'Perduoti' often implies a specific type of transfer, like handing something along, transmitting a message, or passing something through an intermediary.
'Duoti' is the general term for 'to give'. 'Perduoti' is more specific. For example, you 'duoti' a letter to a friend, but if you are asked to pass that letter to another friend, you would 'perduoti' it. 'Perduoti' can also mean to transmit information or a signal.
Aš <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>davė</mark> jam pinigus. (I gave him money.) vs. Aš <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>perdavė</mark> jam laišką. (I handed over the letter to him.)
Both verbs can involve the transfer of something valuable, but 'suteikti' is used for more abstract or formal bestowals.
'Duoti' is general giving. 'Suteikti' is used for granting rights, titles, privileges, or opportunities. It has a more formal and official connotation. You 'duoti' a book, but you 'suteikti' a degree or a scholarship.
Mokykla <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>davė</mark> mums laisvę.

(The government granted him citizenship - formal.)
Both involve presenting something, but 'pateikti' is specifically about submitting or presenting for review.
'Duoti' is general giving. 'Pateikti' means to present, submit, or offer something for inspection, consideration, or approval. You 'duoti' a gift, but you 'pateikti' a report or an application.

Both imply giving something, but 'padovanoti' specifically means to give as a gift.
'Duoti' is the general verb for 'to give'. 'Padovanoti' specifically means 'to gift' or 'to donate', implying it's given freely as a present, often without expectation of return. While all gifts are 'duodami', not everything that is 'duodama' is necessarily a 'dovana'.
Aš <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>davė</mark> jam knygą. (I gave him the book - could be a loan, etc.) vs. Aš <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>padovanojo</mark> jam knygą gimtadieniui. (I gifted him the book for his birthday.)
Shares the root 'duoti' and often appears in compound forms.
'Išduoti' has meanings very different from 'duoti'. It means 'to betray', 'to give away (a secret)', or 'to issue (a document)'. The context is crucial to distinguish it. While it shares a root, its meaning is distinct and often negative.
Jis <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>išdavė</mark> savo draugus. (He betrayed his friends.) vs. Aš <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>davė</mark> jam paslaptį. (I gave him the secret - implies sharing, not necessarily betrayal.)

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
Extremely high. One of the most common verbs in Lithuanian.
-
Using the infinitive 'duoti' instead of a conjugated form.
→
Aš <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>duodu</mark>.
After a subject pronoun like 'aš' (I), you need the conjugated present tense form 'duodu', not the infinitive 'duoti'. 'Duoti' is used after modal verbs (like 'norėti' - to want, 'galėti' - to be able to) or in specific grammatical constructions.
-
Incorrect case for the recipient.
→
Aš duodu <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>jam</mark> knygą. (I give him a book.)
The recipient of the action ('him' - 'jis') needs to be in the dative case, which is 'jam'. Using the nominative 'jis' would be incorrect.
-
Using 'duoti' when a more specific verb is needed.
→
Prašau, <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>perduok</mark> šį laišką.
If you mean 'hand over' or 'pass along', 'perduoti' is more precise than the general 'duoti'. 'Duoti' is fine for general giving, but 'perduoti' fits specific contexts better.
-
Incorrect past tense conjugation for feminine subjects.
→
Ji <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>davė</mark>.
While 'davė' is common for third person singular past, learners might sometimes try to apply masculine endings incorrectly. For 'ji' (she), the past tense ending is typically 'ė' in the third person singular.
-
Confusing 'duoti' with 'imti' or 'gauti'.
→
Aš <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>duodu</mark> tau. Tu <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>gauni</mark>.
'Duoti' is to give, 'imti' is to take, and 'gauti' is to receive. They represent different sides of an exchange. Ensure you are using the verb that matches the intended action.
सुझाव
Mastering Cases
Lithuanian relies heavily on cases. When using 'duoti', remember that the recipient usually takes the dative case (e.g., 'man' - to me, 'jam' - to him) and the object being given takes the accusative case (e.g., 'knygą' - a book).
Write It Down
Actively write sentences using 'duoti' in different tenses and with various objects and recipients. This active recall solidifies your understanding and helps you internalize the correct grammar.
Focus on Diphthongs
The 'uo' in 'duoti' is a diphthong. Practice pronouncing it smoothly as a single sound, similar to the 'wo' in English 'woe', rather than two separate vowels.
Learn Common Collocations
Memorizing common phrases like 'duoti patarimą' (to give advice) or 'duoti leidimą' (to give permission) will make your speech sound more natural and fluent.
Start Simple
Begin with the present tense conjugations (aš duodu, tu duodi, etc.) and simple sentences. Gradually introduce past and future tenses, and more complex sentence structures.
Cultural Significance
Understand that giving is valued in Lithuanian culture. Using 'duoti' correctly reflects politeness and engagement in social interactions.
Avoid Direct Translation
Don't directly translate English phrases like 'give a hard time'. Lithuanian often uses different idiomatic expressions. Focus on understanding the underlying meaning and finding the appropriate Lithuanian equivalent.
Regular Revision
Revisit the conjugations and common phrases regularly. Consistent review is crucial for long-term retention of verb forms and their usage.
Practice with Native Speakers
If possible, practice using 'duoti' in conversations with native Lithuanian speakers. They can provide valuable feedback on your pronunciation and grammar.
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Imagine someone saying 'Do! O! Tie!' (Do! Oh! They!) as they are giving away many items. 'Do!' is like an instruction to give, 'Oh!' expresses surprise at the act of giving, and 'Tie!' refers to the people receiving.
दृश्य संबंध
Picture a hand reaching out to give a shiny, golden coin. The shape of the reaching hand can subtly remind you of the 'd' in 'duoti', and the act of giving a coin is a universal symbol of the verb's meaning.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThe most basic meaning of 'duoti' is 'to give' in the sense of transferring possession of something from one person to another. For example, 'Aš duodu tau obuolį' means 'I give you an apple'.
You would say 'Jis davė man knygą'. Here, 'Jis' is the subject (he), 'davė' is the past tense of 'duoti', 'man' is the dative case of 'aš' (I - the recipient), and 'knygą' is the accusative case of 'knyga' (book - the object).
'Duoti' means 'to give', while 'imti' means 'to take'. They are opposites. 'Duoti' is about transferring something away from you, and 'imti' is about receiving something from someone else.
The future tense is formed using the auxiliary verb 'būti' (to be) and the infinitive 'duoti'. For example, 'Aš būsiu duoti' means 'I will give'.
'Duok' is the imperative form used when speaking to one person informally (like a friend or child). 'Duokite' is used when speaking to multiple people or to one person formally (like a stranger or elder).
Yes, several! 'Duoti patarimą' (to give advice), 'duoti leidimą' (to give permission), 'duoti šansą' (to give a chance), and 'duoti žodį' (to give one's word/promise) are very common.
'Duoti suprasti' is an idiomatic expression that means 'to make understood', 'to imply', or 'to hint'. It's used when someone conveys information indirectly rather than stating it explicitly.
There isn't a direct literal translation using 'duoti'. A common way to express this idea would be 'Jis man trukdė' (He bothered me) or 'Jis man kėlė rūpesčių' (He caused me worries).
'Duoti' is a general term for giving. 'Pateikti' is more formal and means to present, submit, or offer something for consideration, like a report or an application.
Absolutely! You can 'duoti' permission ('duoti leidimą'), give advice ('duoti patarimą'), give a chance ('duoti šansą'), or give hope ('duoti vilties').

Mastering Cases

Context is Key
While 'duoti' is versatile, pay attention to context. Sometimes a more specific verb like 'perduoti' (to hand over) or 'suteikti' (to grant) might be more appropriate for nuanced communication.
