pardavimais

Pardavimais is the instrumental plural form of the Lithuanian noun pardavimas, meaning sales or selling. It is used to express means, method, or basis by which something is done. In business and economics, pardavimais appears in phrases such as "pardavimais grindžiama strategija" (a growth strategy based on sales) or "pardavimais remiantis planuojama" (planning based on sales). The form indicates how outcomes are achieved, rather than what is being achieved.

Grammatical note: Pardavimais is the instrumental plural; the corresponding singular instrumental form is pardavimu, the genitive plural pardavimų, and the nominative plural pardavimai. The word is derived from pardavimas, which in turn comes from the verb parduoti (to sell). Pardavimais is common in corporate, marketing, and statistical language to discuss the role of sales in results or strategies.
