Obekti

Obekti is a plural noun in Latvian that translates to "objects" or "items" in English. The singular form is objekts. The word is widely used in everyday language, commerce, catalogs, and documentation to refer to tangible things, such as household objects, inventory items, or artifacts in a museum collection.

Origin and usage: Obekti derives from the Latvian noun objekts, a native formation incorporating the common root related to the idea of an object and a plural suffix. In technical writing and translations from English, obekti can appear when referring to objects in a broad sense, including abstract or data-related objects, depending on the style or the translator’s choice. The term is not capitalized unless it starts a sentence and is not typically used as a proper noun.

Context and examples: In cataloging, museums, libraries, and archival inventories, obekti appear as entries describing physical items. In everyday speech, speakers might say “daudzi obekti” to mean many objects. The word functions across various domains, from practical lists to descriptive writing, without carrying a fixed technical meaning beyond its general sense of “things.”
