Tekstinis

Tekstinis is a Lithuanian adjective meaning "textual" or "relating to text." It is formed from the noun tekstas (text) with the suffix -inis and is used to describe written content or features that concern text rather than speech or imagery.

In linguistics and literary studies, tekstinis refers to aspects of written discourse, such as the structure and features of texts, and to materials or tasks that are text-based. In education, publishing, and media studies, the term appears in phrases like tekstinis turinys (text-based content) or tekstinė užduotis (text-based task). In information technology, tekstinis is used to distinguish text-based interfaces or tools from graphical ones, for example tekstinis režimas (text mode) and tekstinis redaktorius (text editor).

The word is versatile and can modify many nouns to indicate a text-oriented character, such as tekstinis dokumentas (text document) or tekstinis įrašas (text entry). Its precise nuance can vary by field, but it generally emphasizes written form rather than spoken or visual modes.
