Veikla

Veikla is a Lithuanian noun meaning activity, action, or operation. It denotes the process of doing something and the range of actions that an person, organization, or institution undertakes. In everyday use, veikla can refer to ordinary routines as well as formal endeavors such as work, business operations, or cultural and scientific pursuits. The term is frequently combined with modifiers to describe specific areas, for example kultūrinė veikla (cultural activity), ekonominė veikla (economic activity), mokslinė veikla (scientific activity), or sportinė veikla (sports activity).

In linguistic and semantic terms, veikla functions as an abstract, inclusive concept that can denote individual tasks or ongoing programmes within a broader field. It can describe both passive engagement in tasks and active, organized efforts by institutions. The notion is often used to talk about areas of responsibility, research agendas, or corporate or institutional focus, such as įmonės veikla (a company’s activities) or valstybės veikla (the state’s activities).

Grammar-wise, veikla is a feminine noun and forms related words such as veiklos (the activities) in the plural and genitive forms in other cases. It is derived from the verb veikti, meaning to act or to operate.

In legal and economic contexts, veikla commonly appears in phrases that express carrying out or defining the scope of activities, such as vykdyti veiklą (to carry on activity) or veiklos sritys (areas of activity).
