Asmeniui

Asmeniui is the dative singular form of the Lithuanian noun asmuo, meaning “person” or “individual.” It marks the indirect object (recipient or beneficiary) in sentences. In Lithuanian, the dative case is used to indicate to whom something is given, shown, or allocated, often without a preposition.

Common usage examples show it functioning with verbs of giving, allowing, or assigning: for instance, Dovana bus įteikta asmeniui (The gift will be handed to the person). Parama skiriama asmeniui, o ne įstaigai (Support is allocated to the person, not to the institution). The form is versatile across formal and everyday language, especially in contexts describing services, permissions, or allocations directed at an individual.

Plural usage exists as asmenims, the dative plural form, used when referring to several people. Example: Šie dokumentai skirti asmenims (These documents are intended for individuals). The referent in both singular and plural can be any gendered person, since asmuo represents a human being rather than a specific gender.

Notes on usage: asmeniui is a grammatical form, not a separate lexical item, and its role is determined by syntax to indicate the recipient or beneficiary in relation to the action. It commonly appears in official, administrative, or formal contexts, but also occurs in everyday speech when specifying who benefits from an action.
