Civilinio

Civilinio is a Lithuanian word that translates to "civil" or "civilian" in English. It is primarily used as an adjective to distinguish between civilian and military matters, individuals, or property. For example, "civilinis karas" means "civil war," referring to a conflict fought within a country's own population rather than between nations. Similarly, "civilinis sektorius" refers to the non-governmental, non-military part of society or the economy.

The term can also denote something related to civil law or civil rights. A "civilinis ieškinys" is a civil lawsuit, distinct from a criminal case. It can also describe something that is not military in nature, such as "civilinis lėktuvas" (civilian aircraft) or "civilinis šaudymas" (civilian shooting, implying non-military use of firearms). The concept of "civilinis pareigūnas" would refer to a civilian official or employee in a government or public service role. In essence, civilinio serves to categorize and differentiate aspects of life and society that are not under military jurisdiction or control.
