Popieriai

Popieriai is a Lithuanian plural noun meaning papers, documents, or sheets of paper. It is the plural form of popierius, which in ordinary usage can denote paper as a material as well as a bundle or collection of documents.

In contemporary usage, popieriai commonly refers to paperwork or official documents encountered in bureaucratic settings. It may include diplomas, licenses, contracts, or identification papers. The term is often used in both formal and informal contexts to discuss the need to gather or present the necessary documents.

The word originates from the Lithuanian word popierius for paper, and, like many European terms, shows ties to the broader Indo-European word for paper through historical language contact. In formal writing, dokumentai is sometimes preferred for precise specification, while popieriai emphasizes the material or bureaucratic aspect of paperwork.
