Parlamentinius

Parlamentinius is a Lithuanian adjective that translates to "parliamentary" in English. It is derived from the word "parlamentas," meaning parliament. The term is used to describe anything related to or characteristic of a parliament, such as parliamentary procedures, parliamentary debates, or parliamentary elections. For example, a parliamentary system of government is one where the executive branch derives its legitimacy from and is held accountable to the legislature (parliament). In Lithuania, the Seimas is the parliament, and decisions or actions made within or by this institution are considered parlamentinius. The adjective can also refer to the members of parliament themselves, although the noun "parlamentaras" is more commonly used for an individual parliamentarian. Understanding the term "parlamentinius" is key to comprehending Lithuanian political discourse and the workings of its legislative body.
