rekomenduojama

Rekomenduojama is a Lithuanian word formed from the verb reikkomanduoti? No, from rekomenduoti, meaning to recommend. It functions as an impersonal predicate adjective that expresses advice or best practice. The form is commonly used to indicate that a particular action or approach is advised by guidelines, experts, or authorities rather than legally mandatory.

In usage, rekomenduojama is typically followed by an infinitive clause or by a noun phrase describing the recommended action or procedure. For example, "Rekomenduojama vartoti vaistą po valgio" means it is recommended to take the medicine after meals. Another example is "Rekomenduojama laikytis higienos taisyklių" or "Rekomenduojama pasitikrinti duomenis prieš pateikiant ataskaitą." The subject is often implicit, making the construction broadly applicable and suitable for instructions, guidelines, and official communications.

Context and nuance: rekomenduojama signals a non-mandatory but strongly advised course of action, typically in health, safety, education, or consumer guidance. It differs from privaloma (mandatory) and from siūloma (proposed or suggested) in degree of obligation and authority. Because it conveys authority without compulsion, it is common in formal texts, manuals, and policy documents.
