kategoriju

Kategoriju is the genitive plural form of the Latvian noun kategorija, meaning "category." It is used in phrases that denote "of the categories" and in sentences where the genitive plural is required. The term kategorija itself comes from the French catégorie and Latin categoria, reflecting historical influence on Latvian vocabulary for classifying concepts.

In everyday language, kategoriju appears in contexts such as "kategoriju nosaukumi" (names of the categories), "kategoriju saraksts" (list of categories), or "kategoriju struktūra" (category structure).

In information organization, categories provide a means to group items for navigation, search, and analysis. In libraries and databases, taxonomy, metadata, and tagging rely on categories to classify documents and data. In digital interfaces, category filters, facets, and taxonomies help users refine results. The concept parallels the English "category" and is part of broader classification systems.
