Iskiriamos

Iskiriamos (išskiriamos) is a Lithuanian grammatical form that appears as the feminine plural present passive participle of the verb išskirti, meaning to distinguish or to separate. Used as an adjective, it agrees with feminine plural nouns and marks elements that have been singled out, set apart, or highlighted in analysis, description, or categorization.

Morphology and spelling: The form is built from the prefix iš- (out, apart) + stem skirti (to distinguish, to separate) and the participial suffix -iamos. In standard Lithuanian it is written with diacritics as išskiriamos; in non-diacritic contexts it may appear as iskiriamos. The corresponding masculine plural form is išskiriami, and the feminine singular form is išskiriama.

Usage: It is commonly used in academic writing, linguistics, and scientific texts to indicate features or items that have been distinguished from others. Examples include: "Išskiriamos savybės padeda identifikuoti pagrindines problemas" (The distinguishing features help identify the main problems) and "Šios savybės išskiriamos kaip pagrindinės" (These features are highlighted as the main ones). In general prose, it can modify nouns attributively or appear predicatively in sentences.

Relation: Išskiriamos is part of a broader set of Lithuanian participial forms used to mark attributes, classification, or emphasis. See also Lithuanian grammar, participles, and išskirti.
