nereikmingi

Nereikmingi is a Lithuanian adjective meaning not significant, insignificant, or of little importance. It is formed with the prefix ne- added to reikšmingas (significant), indicating the opposite of significance. Like other Lithuanian adjectives, its form changes to agree with the noun in gender and number, for example nereikšmingas (masculine singular) and nereikšminga (feminine singular), with corresponding plural forms.

In usage, nereikmingi describes things that lack importance or impact in a given context. It is commonly found in academic, scientific, and everyday language when something fails to meet a threshold of relevance or significance. In statistics and research reporting, the term is frequently used to describe results that do not reach statistical significance, often contrasted with reikšmingas or statistiškai reikšmingas.

Nereikšmingas can also appear as a predicate adjective in statements such as “šis teiginys yra nereikšmingas,” meaning the claim is insignificant or not meaningful for the issue at hand. The noun form nereikšmingumas denotes the quality or state of insignificance or triviality.

Related terms include reikšmingas (significant) and nereikšmingumas (insignificance). While nereikšmingi is a neutral descriptor, its connotation can range from a simple note of minor importance to a critical judgment, depending on context and emphasis.

Overall, nereikšmingi serves as a standard linguistic tool in Lithuanian to express that something does not carry meaningful weight within a particular discussion, analysis, or dataset.
