asmeniniam

Asmeniniam is the dative singular form of the Lithuanian adjective asmeninis, meaning personal or private. It belongs to the inflected class of adjectives that decline for gender, number, and case. In the dative singular, masculine and neuter nouns take the ending -iam, producing asmeniniam. The feminine counterpart is asmeninei, and the plural dative form is asmeniniams.

The form is used when the adjective modifies a noun in the dative case, typically to indicate the indirect object, recipient, beneficiary, or target of an action, or to describe a relation attributed to someone or something. Examples include asmeniniam požiūriui (“to a personal viewpoint”) and asmeniniam gyvenimui (“to personal life”). In broader prose, asmeniniam frequently appears in contexts discussing privacy, personalization, or individual-specific aspects, always as a grammatical inflection rather than a standalone lexical item.

Relation to other forms: asmeninis is the base form (nominative) and is used for masculine singular subjects. Its feminine form is asmeninė, and other cases and numbers have their own endings (for example, asmeniniams in the dative plural). The use of asmeniniam therefore reflects standard Lithuanian adjective agreement, ensuring cohesion between the noun it modifies and the sentence’s case system.

In summary, asmeniniam is a standard Lithuanian dative singular inflection of asmeninis, used to express “to a personal/private …” with masculine or neuter nouns.
