raportai

Raportai is the plural form of the Lithuanian noun raportas, meaning a report or account. A raportas is a formal document that communicates information about a task, investigation, study, or activity. Therefore, raportai refers to multiple such documents and is used broadly in administrative, business, academic, and media contexts.

Raportai are produced for various purposes, including informing decision-makers, recording results, supporting accountability, or providing a summary of progress. They may be published publicly or kept within an organization, and their length and structure vary by purpose. Common elements include the objective, methods, data or observations, findings, and recommendations, as well as annexes or appendices with raw data.

In Lithuanian usage, raportai appear in phrases such as financial raportai, annual raportai, research raportai, or state raportai. The singular raportas is used for a single document, while raportai denotes more than one. The term is widely understood in official language and reportage, and its exact formatting and sectioning depend on institutional style guides.

Related terms include raportas (singular) and other document categories such as ataskaita, which can overlap in meaning depending on context.
