spalvotiems

Spalvotiems is a Lithuanian grammatical form: the dative plural of the adjective spalvotas, meaning colored or colored/multicolored. It is used to modify masculine or neuter nouns in the dative case, indicating the recipient or beneficiary of an action, as in to or for colored items. In Lithuanian, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case, so spalvotiems accompanies nouns in the dative plural.

The ending -iems marks the dative plural for masculine and neuter adjectives. The corresponding forms in other cases or for feminine nouns differ, but spalvotiems specifically appears with masculine/neuter nouns in the dative.

Common usage includes phrases such as spalvotiems paveikslam, spalvotiems langams, or spalvotiems daiktams. Example sentences: Spalvotiems paveikslams taikomos skirtingos restauravimo technikos. (Different restoration techniques are applied to colored paintings.) Spalvotiems langams reikalingas naujas stiklas. (A new pane is required for colored windows.) Spalvotiems daiktams reikalinga UV apsauga. (Colored items require UV protection.)

Note: Spalvotiems is not a separate lexical item; it is a grammatical inflection used with the base adjective spalvotas. The feminine form and other cases are built similarly by applying the appropriate endings to match gender, number, and case.
