dokumentu

Dokumentu is an inflected Latvian form derived from the noun dokuments, meaning document. It represents the genitive plural, a grammatical form used to indicate a relationship to multiple documents. In practice, this form appears in sentences where the documents are described, possessed, or quantified, such as in administrative or archival contexts.

In Latvian, genitive forms are commonly used within noun phrases to express possession, association, or quantity. The genitive plural form is especially frequent in official texts, where precise reference to documents is required. While the exact spelling changes with linguistic context, the meaning conveyed is typically related to “of the documents” or “documents’.”

Etymology and linguistic notes: The Latvian lexeme dokuments (document) traces its roots to the Latin documentum, with later adaptation through other European languages. The genitive plural form dokumentu follows standard Latvian inflection patterns, and such forms are a routine part of formal writing. In texts without diacritics, the form may appear in a simplified spelling, but the underlying meaning remains tied to documents.

Usage and scope: Outside Latvian, the string dokumentu may appear in multilingual texts as a direct reference to the same concept, or as part of quoted material in Latvian phrases. It is not a standalone English word; its use is specific to Latvian grammar and to discussions involving multiple documents.
