Diagnostiniu

Diagnostiniu is the instrumental singular form of the Lithuanian adjective diagnostinis, meaning diagnostic. In use, it describes nouns in the instrumental case and typically signals that a procedure, method, or context relates to diagnosing a condition or determining a state.

Origin and form: The base adjective diagnostinis belongs to Lithuanian lexical roots connected with diagnosis. Diagnostiniu is produced by applying the instrumental singular ending to diagnostinis; Lithuanian adjectives are declined to match gender, number, and case, so diagnostiniu appears in contexts requiring the instrumental form.

Usage: The word is common in medical, scientific, and technical language when indicating purpose, means, or perspective related to diagnosis. Examples of phrases in ordinary use include diagnostiniu tikslu (for diagnostic purposes), diagnostiniu metodu (by a diagnostic method), and diagnostiniu požiūriu (from a diagnostic perspective).

Notes: Diagnostiniu is one inflected form among others derived from diagnostinis. The base form diagnostinis is used in masculine singular nominative contexts, with other forms adapting to gender, number, and case as with standard Lithuanian adjective agreement. The term forms part of a broader family related to diagnosis and diagnostic practices in professional discourse.
