rodikliui

Rodikliui is the dative singular form of the Lithuanian noun rodiklis, which denotes an indicator, gauge, sign, or device that shows a measurement, status, or trend. The word etymologically stems from the root rody- meaning to show, with a suffix that forms a device or instrument noun.

In Lithuanian grammar, rodiklis is declined across cases, and rodikliui specifically marks the indirect object or beneficiary in a sentence. For example: Duomenys buvo perduoti rodikliui (The data were transmitted to the indicator). This form is used when the indicator is the recipient of an action or the target of reference.

Semantically, rodiklis covers a broad range of meanings. In technical and scientific contexts, it refers to measuring instruments such as displays, meters, gauges, or sensors that reveal a quantity or condition (for example, temperature indicator, pressure gauge, or speed indicator). In a broader sense it can also denote an indicator or statistic used to assess performance, trends, or health of a system (statistical indicators, performance indicators).

Usage notes: rodikliui is one form among several that allow expression of relationships involving an indicator. The base noun is rodiklis; related forms include rodiklio (genitive), rodiklį (accusative), and rodikliai (plural). The term is common in engineering, science, data analysis, and everyday Lithuanian when referring to devices or metrics that “show” information.
