nepriklausoma

Nepriklausoma is a Lithuanian word that translates to "independent" in English. It is commonly used to describe a state of self-governance and autonomy for a nation or entity. Historically, Lithuania declared its independence in 1918, establishing the First Republic, and again in 1990, marking the restoration of its sovereignty. The concept of nepriklausoma is deeply ingrained in Lithuanian national identity and is a significant aspect of its modern history and political discourse.

Beyond national sovereignty, the term nepriklausoma can also refer to individual independence, such as financial independence or freedom from external control in personal decisions. In a broader sense, it signifies a state of being free from domination, coercion, or reliance on others. This can apply to various contexts, including political movements, artistic expressions, and personal philosophies. The pursuit and maintenance of nepriklausoma are often seen as fundamental values, reflecting a desire for self-determination and the ability to chart one's own course. The adjective form, nepriklausomas, is used to describe something or someone that is independent.
