laikas

== English == === Noun === laikas plural of laika == Lithuanian == === Etymology 1 === Cognate with Latvian laĩks, Old Church Slavonic отлѣкъ (otlěkŭ, “remainder”). The Latvian metatony (laĩks < *làiks) suggests an original oxytone neuter. On the basis of Ancient Greek λοιπόν (loipón, “remainder”) we can theoretically posit a Proto-Indo-European *loikʷóm (“remainder”). In any case, related to laikýti (“hold, keep”) and li̇̀kti (“remain”); see these entries for more. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈɫɐɪ.kɐs/ ==== Noun ==== lai̇̃kas m (plural laikai̇̃) stress pattern 4 (uncountable) time (physical phenomenon) (uncountable) time, term, period (a duration of time) Šiañdien smagiai̇̃ léidom kartù laĩką! - We spent great time together today!
