Stiprios

Stiprios is a Lithuanian word that functions as the feminine plural form of the adjective stiprus, meaning strong, sturdy, or powerful. It is used to describe feminine plural nouns and agrees with gender, number, and case in Lithuanian grammar.

In ordinary usage, stiprios appears most prominently in nominative and accusative cases with feminine plural nouns. For example, stiprios moterys means strong women, and stiprios rankos means strong hands. It can also accompany abstract or non-physical qualities, such as stiprios mintys (strong thoughts) or stiprios širdys (strong hearts), to convey resilience, intensity, or vigor.

Grammar notes are common in discussions of Lithuanian adjectives. Stiprios changes form across cases and numbers to agree with the noun it modifies, and the form shown here specifically reflects feminine plural usage. The masculine singular counterpart is stiprus, while the adverbial form is stipriai, used to describe the manner of an action (to do something strongly).

Stiprios is primarily a descriptive, evaluative term. It is not a proper noun or a fixed title, but rather a common adjective that appears in literature, journalism, and everyday speech when emphasizing strength or vigor in feminine subjects.
