kituose

Kituose is a Lithuanian word that functions as the locative plural form of the determiner or adjective kitas, meaning other. It is used with plural nouns in the locative case to indicate “in other places” or “in other things.” The word appears in phrases where the speaker contrasts locations or groups with those within the speaker’s frame of reference.

In usage, kituose is not a standalone adverb. When you want to say “elsewhere” more generally, Lithuanian commonly uses kitur. Kituose, by contrast, is grammatical only before a plural noun in the locative case and it agrees with that noun in gender and number. For example, kituose miestuose means “in other cities,” and kituose kraštuose means “in other regions.” The form is typical of Lithuanian adjective declension and reflects how the language marks location in relation to multiple referenced items.

Etymologically, kituose derives from the base kitas (other) with the locative plural suffix -uose, a pattern seen with other adjectives in Lithuanian when describing plural nouns in a locational sense. This construction commonly occurs in descriptive writing, travel writing, and contrasts between places.
