Vaizdo

Vaizdo is the genitive singular form of the Lithuanian noun vaizdas, which means image, view, or appearance. It is not typically used as a stand‑alone lexical item; instead, vaizdo functions as a noun adjunct in compound terms to indicate image- or video-related concepts.

In contemporary usage, vaizdo appears as the attributive element in many everyday phrases. Examples include vaizdo įrašas (video recording or video), vaizdo failas (image file), vaizdo plokštė (graphics card), vaizdo kamera (video camera), and vaizdo kokybė (image quality). In these compounds, vaizdo is in the genitive form and serves to qualify the head noun.

Grammatical note: vaizdas is a masculine noun, and vaizdo is its genitive singular form. It is common in Lithuanian to use this form as a fixed attributive element in noun phrases that relate to imaging, display, or video, even though vaizdo itself is not a separate lexical entry in many dictionaries.

Etymology and related terms: vaizdas relates to concepts of seeing and depiction; related words include vaizduoti (to depict, to portray) and vaizduotė (imagination, mental image). The family of terms covers both the act of seeing and the representation of images.
