sprendim

Sprendim is a stem found in Lithuanian that relates to the verb spręsti, meaning to decide or to solve. The corresponding noun sprendimas denotes a decision or a solution. The sequence sprendim- does not stand alone as a standard Lithuanian word; it appears as the base in inflected forms and in derived compounds.

Common inflected forms include sprendimo (genitive singular), sprendimui (dative singular), sprendimu (instrumental singular), and sprendimą (accusative singular). In the plural, forms such as sprendimai (nominative), sprendimų (genitive), sprendimams (dative), sprendimais (instrumental), and sprendimuose (locative) show the same semantic connection to decision or solution. These forms illustrate how the root sprend- carries the meaning across grammatical cases.

Etymologically, sprendimas is derived from the verb spręsti, with the root sprend- traceable to historical Baltic language developments. In linguistic usage, sprendim- is discussed as a productive stem for forming nouns that express the outcome of deciding or solving something. It serves as an example of how Lithuanian builds abstract nouns from verbal concepts.

Outside of Baltic languages, the exact form sprendim is not a standard lexical item. It is primarily encountered as part of morphological systems within Lithuanian and, as a string, may appear in linguistic descriptions rather than as a widely used independent word in general prose.
