Poilsio

Poilsio is the genitive singular form of the Lithuanian noun poilsis, which means rest, relaxation, or recreation. In standard Lithuanian, poilsio is used to express possession or relation to rest and appears in phrases and clauses that describe rest-related concepts. Common examples include poilsio laikas, meaning the time of rest, and poilsio poreikiai, referring to the needs or desires for rest.

The term is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item with a distinct meaning. It functions as an inflected form of poilsis within sentences, signaling relationships such as ownership, association, or context tied to rest. The base noun poilsis belongs to the Baltic language family and encapsulates ideas of leisure and recuperation that are common across related languages.

In practice, poilsio is encountered mainly in linguistic, academic, or everyday Lithuanian usage when discussing rest, recreation, or time allocated for health and wellbeing. It does not denote a separate concept beyond its relation to poilsis, and does not typically appear as a proper noun unless used in a specific name or borrowed title.

Related concepts in Lithuanian include poilsis (rest itself) and rekreacija (recreation). The term poilsio emphasizes the grammatical relationship to rest within phrases, rather than standing alone as an independent concept.
