Kontekstais

Kontekstais is a Lithuanian word that functions as the instrumental plural form of kontekstas, meaning contexts or sets of circumstances. It is used in formal and academic writing to refer to the different contexts in which an action, statement, or phenomenon is considered or analyzed.

The term is formed from the base kontekstas with the instrumental plural ending -ais, reflecting its grammatical role in Lithuanian syntax. As a plural instrumental noun, kontekstais commonly appears in phrases that describe context-related aspects of a discussion, study, or observation.

Usage of kontekstais is most typical in scholarly texts, journalism, and analysis where researchers compare or contrast multiple contexts. Common collocations include skirtingais kontekstais, įvairiais kontekstais, and įvairiais kontekstais, all of which convey the idea of looking at phenomena across different circumstances. In practice, kontekstais helps to articulate how conclusions might vary when evaluated under different situational factors.

Grammatical notes: kontekstais is used in instrumental plural constructions, often after adjectives or verbs that require the instrumental case to express means, scope, or manner related to contexts. It is not a standalone concept, but a grammatical form that enables precise reference to multiple contexts within a sentence.
