Savyb

Savyb is an informal term encountered in some Lithuanian-language programming discussions to refer to an object's property or attribute. It derives from savybė, the Lithuanian word for property, trait, or characteristic, with savyb used as a shortened form in casual writing and conversations.

Usage and context: The term is not part of formal specifications. It appears mainly in online forums, tutorials, and code comments where space is limited or the audience is familiar with Lithuanian. In such contexts, savyb typically denotes a single data item associated with an object, akin to a field or property in object-oriented terminology. In informal pseudocode, one might see lines like: savyb color; savyb size; to illustrate object data members.

Limitations: Because it is informal and language-specific, savyb can confuse readers who are not Lithuanian speakers or who expect standard terminology. It is not standardized across languages, and most formal documentation uses property, attribute, field, or data member.

Relationship to related terms: Savybė is the canonical Lithuanian noun for "property" or "attribute." In English-language programming, equivalents include property, attribute, field, data member, or characteristic.
