Duomenimis

Duomenimis is a Lithuanian linguistic form, specifically the instrumental plural of the noun duomenys, which means data or information. As an instrumental form, duomenimis is used to indicate the means, basis, or reference for a statement or action, and it frequently appears in formal writing.

In practical use, the term denotes data in the sense of factual items collected for analysis. The corresponding plural noun duomenys refers to data in general, a collection of facts, figures, measurements, or observations. The instrumental plural duomenimis is most often seen in phrases such as remiantis duomenimis, meaning “based on the data.” This construction is common in academic, statistical, and policy contexts to attribute conclusions or decisions to empirical evidence.

Conceptually, data are raw elements that can be aggregated, processed, and interpreted to yield information. In Lithuanian, as in many languages, the relationship between data and information is reflected in discourse about research, statistics, and digital information management. Data may originate from surveys, sensors, databases, or logs, and they gain value when analyzed and contextualized, producing conclusions supported by duomenimis.

Related terms include duomenys (data), duomenų bazė (database), ir informacija (information). The instrumental form duomenimis thus plays a key role in formal statements about evidence and methodology, serving as a linguistic marker of the underlying data basis in Lithuanian texts.
