Tipai

Tipai is a Lithuanian noun meaning "types" or "kinds." It is the plural form of tipas and is used to refer to categories, varieties, or classes within a system, collection, or study. The term appears in everyday language as well as in technical, academic, and administrative contexts to organize information, objects, or concepts.

Tipai originates from the singular tipas and is a masculine plural noun that follows standard Lithuanian plural morphology. In sentences it declines like other masculine -as nouns; for example, tipai in the nominative plural, tipų in the genitive plural, and tipams in the dative plural.

Common usages include phrases such as elgesio tipai (types of behavior), duomenų tipai (data types), and knygų tipai (genres or kinds of books). In science, classification, and information technology, tipai is frequently used to denote distinct categories within a taxonomy or data schema. The term supports comparison, sorting, and analysis by providing a concise way to refer to different forms, variants, or versions of a subject.
