Tiesiogines

Tiesiogines is a Lithuanian grammatical form, the feminine plural adjective stemming from the stem tiesioginis, meaning direct or immediate. It is used to describe feminine plural nouns, for example in phrases such as tiesioginės transliacijos. The form signals that the described noun is occurring in real time or without intermediaries.

In media and broadcasting, what is commonly called an adjective in this form refers to live or real-time content. Tiesioginės transliacijos are broadcasts transmitted as events unfold, often with minimal delay between action and audience reception. Such broadcasts frequently feature real-time commentary, audience interaction, and little or no post-production. The term contrasts with delayed or pre-recorded formats, where content is prepared and released after editing.

Beyond broadcasting, tiesiogines can describe other direct or immediate relations, such as tiesioginis ryšys (direct connection) or tiesioginis pardavimas (direct selling). In these uses, the adjective indicates a straightforward, unmediated link or action between parties or steps.

Usage notes: the exact meaning of tiesiogines depends on the noun it modifies. It is common in contemporary Lithuanian to encounter tiesioginės transliacijos in television, radio, and online streaming contexts, as well as in business and information technology to denote direct or real-time aspects.
