Naujos

Naujos is a Lithuanian word that serves as the feminine plural form of the adjective naujas, meaning "new." It is used to describe feminine nouns in the nominative and accusative cases, reflecting gender and number agreement within a noun phrase. For example, naujos knygos means "new books," and naujos idėjos means "new ideas."

In other grammatical cases, the ending changes to reflect case, number, and definiteness. For instance, the genitive plural of the corresponding phrase would be naujų knygų. The form naujos thus participates in Lithuanian’s system of inflection, where adjectives modify nouns and vary across seven cases.

The word can appear in everyday speech, journalism, literature, and education to express freshness, novelty, or recentness. It is commonly found in phrases describing recently released items, events, or concepts. Naujos may also occur in headlines or titles to convey immediacy or topicality without altering the underlying meaning of “new.”
