kasdienikose

Kasdienikose is a term used in sociolinguistics and digital anthropology to describe a register or genre of daily life narration that appears in online platforms. The word is a neologism deriving from the Lithuanian kasdienis (daily) with a suffix that marks a collective or category. The concept captures how individuals frame ordinary experiences as events within a social dialogue.

Characteristics include first-person perspective, chronological detailing of routine activities, emphasis on mundane events, frequent timestamps or day-by-day sequencing, and a conversational tone that blends diary-like narration with public posting. Posts may emphasize social relations, chores, errands, or small emotional disclosures, often to invite solidarity or shared rituals within online communities.

Usage and significance: Kasdienikose is used in analyses of online self-presentation, community bonding, and information diffusion. It helps researchers understand how people negotiate identity, privacy, and intimacy through everyday materials. It also informs design considerations for platform algorithms and user experience, given that daily-life content tends to generate high engagement.

Examples: A micro-post describing breakfast, a walk in the park, or a disrupted routine; a thread narrating a typical workday; a series of posts documenting a personal project over several days.

Limitations: As a nascent concept, kasdienikose lacks standardized criteria, and its boundaries with related genres (vlogs, microblogging, personal diaries) remain debated.
