metinis

Metinis is a Lithuanian adjective meaning annual or yearly. It is formed from the noun metai (year) with the suffix -inis, and it is used to describe things that pertain to or occur within a calendar year. In usage, metinis modifies nouns to indicate annual frequency or duration, such as metinis biudžetas (annual budget), metinė ataskaita (annual report), or metiniai duomenys (annual data).

Grammatically, adjectives in Lithuanian agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case, so metinis has feminine and plural forms such as metinė, metiniai, and metinės. The adverb kasmet expresses the idea of “each year” or “annually,” but it is not a direct replacement when describing an annual item.

Metinis is common in official documents, finance, statistics, education, and cultural contexts where annual measurements or events are described. It is not a proper noun; occurrences as a surname or place name are unusual. Related terms include metai (year) and kasmet (annually).
