aktyvioje

aktyvioje is a term used in Lithuanian grammar to describe a specific inflected form of the adjective aktyvus (active). It is not a standalone lemma but a feminine locative singular form that appears in phrases describing grammatical or syntactic characteristics. In practice,aktyvioje is most commonly found as part of expressions such as aktyviojoje formoje, meaning "in the active form," where the noun formoje (in the form) is feminine and requires the corresponding adjective ending.

Usage and function

In descriptive grammar and language-learning material, aktyvioje functions as a connector between the noun it modifies and the concept of activity or voice being discussed. The phrase aktvijoje formoje is used to indicate that a verb, clause, or sentence is being considered in its active presentation rather than a passive or other aspect. Because it is a case form, aktyvioje carries no independent meaning beyond its grammatical role; its significance lies in agreement with the feminine noun it accompanies.

Relation to other forms

The form is part of a broader system of Lithuanian adjective inflection, where adjectives agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they modify. The masculine and neuter counterparts would appear as aktyvusis or similar forms in different syntactic contexts, while feminine locative forms appear in phrases describing state, form, or mode of expression.

Example contexts

- Aktyviojoje formoje pateikta informacija (information presented in the active form).

- Analizuoju sakinį aktyviojoje versijoje (in the active version of the sentence).
