laboratorijose

Laboratorijose is the locative plural form of the Lithuanian noun laboratorija, meaning laboratory. It is used to express location and translates to “in the laboratories” in English.

Etymology and form: The base word laboratorija comes from the root labor- with the suffix -orija, and the locative plural is formed by adding the ending -ose to the stem labora-torij-. The singular locative form is laboratorijoje (in the laboratory), while the plural locative form is laboratorijose (in the laboratories). This pattern reflects Lithuanian noun declension in the locative case for feminine nouns ending in -ija.

Usage: Laboratorijose appears in sentences describing where activities occur, such as scientific work or experiments. Examples include: “Mokslininkai dirbo laboratorijose.” (“Scientists worked in the laboratories.”) and “Tyrimai buvo atlikti laboratorijose.” (“The investigations were conducted in the laboratories.”)

Notes: Like other locative plurals in Lithuanian, laboratorijose often follows verbs of location or is used with prepositions that require a locative sense. It is a form of a common everyday noun, not a standalone proper noun, and is primarily encountered in standard Lithuanian prose and technical writing. See also laboratorija for the base noun and related declension forms.
