apskaiiuojamas

Apskaičiuojamas is a Lithuanian adjective formed from the verb apskaičiuoti, meaning to calculate or reckon. The form “apskaičiuojamas” is the masculine singular nominative; the word is used to describe quantities, values, or results that are determined by calculation rather than direct measurement. A common variant spelling found in informal writing, “apskaiiuojamas,” is generally considered a misspelling of the standard form.

Usage and meaning

The term appears in mathematical, statistical, scientific, and computing contexts. It describes things that follow from a calculation or model instead of an empirical observation. For example, one may refer to an “apskaičiuojamas laikas” (calculated time), an “apskaičiuojama suma” (calculated amount), or an “apskaičiuojamas vidurkis” (calculated average). In computing, it is used to indicate a value produced by a function or algorithm, such as an “apskaičiuojama reikšmė” (calculated value).

Grammar and related forms

As with other Lithuanian adjectives, apskaičiuojamas agrees with the noun in gender and number (e.g., apskaičiuojama reikšmė, apskaičiuojami duomenys). Related forms include apskaičiuotas (calculated, past participle) and apskaičiuoti (to calculate). The term contrasts with direct measurements, ištiks, or with outcomes that are estimated rather than precisely computed.
