daiktas

Daiktas is a Lithuanian noun meaning object, thing, or article. It refers to something that can be perceived, handled, or cataloged, and it covers both tangible objects and, in some contexts, abstract items. The word is common in everyday language as well as in technical or formal discourse, where it often designates a physical object that can be owned, moved, or used.

In philosophical and logical discussions, daiktas is used to denote an entity that can serve as a referent. In law, economics, and everyday authorities, it commonly appears in phrases describing physical objects that have value, ownership, or transfer rights. The term contrasts with more abstract notions such as rights, obligations, or concepts that are not reducible to a concrete thing.
