tarptautiniame

Tarptautiniame is the locative singular form of the Lithuanian adjective tarptautinis, which means international. It is used with masculine singular nouns in the locative case to indicate location, context, or relation to international things. For example, tarptautiniame teisme means “in the International Court,” and tarptautiniame turnyre means “in an international tournament.” The ending -iame signals the masculine gender and the locative case.

In Lithuanian, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. Therefore, when the governing noun is feminine, the locative form of the same adjective changes to tarptautinėje, as in tarptautinėje arenoje (“in the international arena”). The choice of form depends on the noun’s gender and case, and tarptautiniame is not a standalone noun but a word form that accompanies a noun.

Usage notes and scope: tarptautiniame is common in formal or written contexts where a specific international institution, event, or domain is being referred to. It appears in legal, academic, diplomatic, and journalistic Lithuanian. Because Lithuanian requires explicit agreement between adjectives and nouns, the precise ending can vary to match gender and case of the noun it describes.
