Gaminys

Gaminys is a Lithuanian noun that refers to a tangible object produced by manufacture. It denotes a material item that has been created through production processes and is intended for sale, exchange, or use in further production. In everyday language it is typically contrasted with paslauga, which means a service; gaminys refers to the physical object itself, while paslauga refers to an activity provided to a client. The term is masculine, with the standard plural gaminiai, and it follows regular Lithuanian noun inflection.

The word derives from the verb gaminti, meaning to produce or manufacture. Related terms include gamykla (factory) and gaminimas (production). Gaminys has long been used in economic, industrial, and commercial contexts to label items resulting from human effort and processing.

Gaminiai cover a wide range of objects, from consumer goods such as appliances, clothing, and furniture to industrial components and equipment. They can be finished products intended for final sale or intermediate products used in further manufacturing. In business practice, gaminiai are tracked as stock or inventory and distinguished from services and from raw materials.

In regulatory and commercial contexts, gaminys implies conformity with applicable quality, safety, and labeling standards appropriate to its category. The term is common in catalogs, invoices, product descriptions, and inventory records, helping to distinguish physical goods from intangible offerings and to identify the produced item’s origin and function.
