aktyvaus

aktyvaus is the masculine singular genitive form of the Lithuanian adjective aktyvus, which means "active." In Lithuanian, adjectives agree with nouns in gender, number, and case, so many forms exist to express different grammatical roles. The form aktyvaus specifically marks the genitive case and is used in noun phrases where the noun is governed by genitive, often to indicate possession or relation.

Common usages include phrases such as aktyvaus žmogaus požiūris (the attitude of an active person) and aktyvaus gyvenimo būdas (an active lifestyle). In these constructions, aktyvaus links the adjective to the noun in a way that shows possession or characteristic quality without adding a separate connector.

Etymology: aktyvus is derived from the root aktyv-, related to the concept of activity, and the corresponding noun is aktyvumas (“activity”). The form aktyvaus is the standard genitive singular of that adjective.

Notes: This form is one part of a broader inflection system for adjectives in Lithuanian, which includes variations for gender, number, and case. Understanding the genitive form is useful for parsing complex noun phrases and for translating possessive or relational meaning accurately.
