nuotraukose

Nuotraukose is a Lithuanian word form meaning "in the photographs" and is the locative plural of nuotrauka ("photo"). It is used to refer to content that appears within photographs or to describe scenes captured across multiple images. The form is produced by adding the locative plural ending -ose to the root nuotrauk- and is used after prepositions expressing location, e.g., "nuotraukose" (in the photos), "šiose nuotraukose" (in these photos).

In Lithuanian, nuotrauka denotes a single image, while nuotraukos is the plural nominative ("photos"). Nuotraukose, as locative plural, is encountered in descriptive text, captions and journalism to indicate what is depicted inside a set of pictures. Common collocations include "nuotraukose matyti" (to be visible in the photographs), "nuotraukose užfiksuota" (captured in the photographs) and "nuotraukose gali būti" (in the photos there may be). The phrase can convey information, evidence, or emphasis about what the images show, rather than about the act of photographing itself.

In modern usage, nuotraukose frequently appears in digital media, photo albums, and travel or news narration, where multiple pictures collectively illustrate a story or event. Its meaning is literal (the content of photographs) but can also be extended metaphorically to refer to appearances or impressions formed from visual records.
