Bibliotekoje

Bibliotekoje is the locative singular form of the Lithuanian noun biblioteka, which means library. It is used to indicate location, answering the question where something is or where an action takes place. In Lithuanian, the locative case shows where an event occurs or where someone or something resides, without needing a separate preposition in many contexts.

Form and usage

The locative singular is formed from biblioteka by removing the final -a and adding the ending -oje, yielding bibliotekoje. The corresponding plural locative is bibliotekose, meaning “in libraries” or “at libraries.” Examples: Aš dirbu bibliotekoje. (I work in the library.) Knygos yra bibliotekoje. (The books are in the library.)

Related forms

Biblioteka is the nominative singular meaning “library.” Other cases mark possession or role in different contexts, such as bibliotekos (library’s, or libraries in some forms) and bibliotekose (in libraries). Understanding the locative helps in constructing phrases that describe location, events, or activities occurring at a library.

Notes

Bibliotekoje is specific to Lithuanian grammar and orthography, and reflects how place is expressed in the language. It is commonly used in everyday speech, writing, and public discourse when referring to location within a library setting.
