Susijusiais

Susijusiais is a Lithuanian grammatical form derived from the adjective susijęs, which means related, connected, or relevant. Susijusiais is the instrumental plural form used to describe masculine or mixed-gender nouns in the instrumental case. In practice, it functions to indicate “with related/connected [things]” or “concerning related [things].”

Formation and grammar

The form is built from the stem of the base adjective susijęs with the instrumental plural ending -iais. It agrees in number (plural) and case (instrumental) with the noun it modifies. Because Lithuanian adjectives agree with the gender and case of the nouns they describe, the exact form of susijęs can change across contexts; susijusiais specifically marks the instrumental plural masculine or mixed-gender reference.

Usage

Susijusiais is commonly found in formal, academic, or administrative Lithuanian prose. It appears in phrases such as su susijusiais klausimais (with related questions) or susijusiais projektais (with related projects). It is used to link topics, data, or items that have a connection to a broader subject under discussion.

Example sentences

- Su susijusiais klausimais diskutuosime konferencijoje.

- Analizė remiasi susijusiais projektais ir jų duomenimis.

Etymology

Susijusiais is formed from the prefix su- plus the adjective susijęs, which itself conveys the sense of being joined or connected. The instrumental plural ending -iais marks the grammatical role in sentences that require that case.
