televizijoje

Televizijoje is the locative singular form of the Lithuanian noun televizija, meaning television. In Lithuanian, the suffix -ijoje marks the locative case, used to indicate location or medium. The word functions as a location word, similar to saying “on television” in English.

Usage and meaning: Televizijoje is commonly used to describe that a program, event, or content is broadcast on the television medium, or that something can be viewed on TV. It appears with verbs of broadcasting or showing, often in past or future tenses, to identify where the content was or will be aired. The expression helps distinguish medium from other channels or formats, such as internet streaming or cinema.

Etymology and form: The form is built from the noun televizija (television) plus the locative suffix -ijoje. It is a feminine noun in the locative case, and its usage aligns with other locative forms that indicate where something occurs or is available.

Examples:

- Laida buvo rodyta televizijoje. (The program was broadcast on television.)

- Nauja dokumentika bus rodyta televizijoje šią savaitę. (The new documentary will be shown on television this week.)

In practice, televizija can be paired with alternative expressions for medium, such as per televiziją or televizijos eteryje, depending on the precise nuance. Televizijoje thus conveys the sense of “on TV” within Lithuanian discourse.
