Daiktuose

Daiktuose is the locative plural form of the Lithuanian noun daiktas, meaning “things” or “objects.” It designates a location inside or among objects and can be translated as “in the objects” or “among the things.” The singular locative form is daikte; the plural locative form is daiktuose.

Grammatically, daiktuose is used when referring to multiple objects in a spatial or situational sense. It is formed by adding the locative plural ending -uose to the stem daikt- (from daiktas). The instrumental plural is daiktais, which differs in meaning and usage from the locative plural.

Usage and context include descriptive prose, literature, archaeology, museums, and philosophical writing, especially when discussing material culture, spatial relationships, or the relationship between people and objects. In sentences, it commonly follows prepositions that govern the locative case or appears in predicative constructions to indicate presence within objects.

Examples:

- Daiktuose slypi prisiminimai.

- Tyrimas pabrėžia daiktuose esančias medžiagas ir jų istoriją.
