techninis

Techninis is a Lithuanian adjective meaning technical or relating to technique and technology. It is used to describe objects, processes, or domains where practical, applied aspects of knowledge are emphasized, such as engineering, manufacturing, information technology, and maintenance. The term commonly appears in phrases that designate equipment, procedures, or expertise with a practical or applied orientation.

Etymology and form: Techninis derives from the noun technika (technique, technology) and the adjectival suffix -inis, forming a word that agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. In Lithuanian, adjectives of this type can pair with various nouns to convey a technical or specialized sense, for example techninė įranga (technical equipment) or techninis projektas (technical project).

Nuance and usage: Techninis is often contrasted with mokslinis, which denotes a more theoretical or scientific aspect. While techninis emphasizes practical application, techninis can also refer to standards, support, or documentation tied to the technical side of a field. It frequently appears in contexts such as engineering, IT support, manufacturing, and technical education.

Examples and translations: Common usages include techninis įrenginys (technical device or equipment), techninis palaikymas (technical support), techninis projektas (technical project), and techninis reikšmės ryšys (technical significance or relevance). In English, techninis is typically translated as technical or technological, depending on the context, with technologiškai related terms used for broader technological aspects.
