Reikalingos

Reikalingos is the feminine plural form of the Lithuanian adjective reikalingas, meaning needed or required. It is used to describe feminine plural nouns, for example reikalingos priemonės (the necessary tools) or reikalingos žinios (the required knowledge). In Lithuanian grammar, the form reikalingos corresponds to feminine plural nouns; related forms include reikalingas (masculine singular), reikalinga (feminine singular), and reikalingi (masculine plural).

Etymology and formation: reikalingos derives from the same root as the verb reikėti, meaning to be necessary or to require. The adjective is declined to agree with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, so feminine plural nouns take reikalingos.

Usage: the word is common in formal and semi-formal contexts such as planning, procurement, budgeting, and needs assessments. It describes items, conditions, or resources that are necessary for a task or goal.

Examples:

- Šiam projektui reikalingos lėšos. (Funds are needed for this project.)

- Reikalingos priemonės projektui įgyvendinti. (The necessary tools are required to implement the project.)

- Šioms užduotims reikalingos žinios ir patirtis. (These tasks require knowledge and experience.)

- Reikalingos sąlygos darbui. (The conditions required for work.)

Notes: reikalingos is not a standalone noun; it is an inflected adjective form. Opposite forms include reikalingas, reikalinga, and reikalingi, which vary by gender and number. The term appears frequently in official language, planning documents, and needs assessments.
