Pereinamojo

Pereinamojo is the genitive singular form of the Lithuanian adjective pereinamasis, which means transitional or intermediary. The term is used in formal or academic Lithuanian to describe things related to a transition between states, conditions, or periods. As a morphologically inflected form, pereinamojo appears whenever the accompanying noun is in the genitive case, a common construction in scholarly writing when specifying a characteristic of a broader, named thing.

In practice, pereinamojo is most often found in phrases that denote transitional periods, stages, or elements. For example, pereinamojo laikotarpio (of the transitional period) or pereinamojo etapo analizė (analysis of the transitional stage). These expressions are typical in disciplines such as linguistics, history, political science, and cultural studies, where authors describe phases that connect earlier and later states.

Etymologically, pereinamojo derives from the adjective pereinamasis, formed from the verb pereiti (to pass, to go across) with a suffix that yields an adjective meaning transitional. The genitive form pereinamojo reflects standard Lithuanian noun-adjective agreement rules, enabling precise specification of the noun’s role within a larger construct—for instance, signifying resources, policies, or conditions associated with a transition.
