Lithuanian Language Institute for Terminologists' I have read 1992 m. issued A booklet prepared by you "Terminology corrections". Thank you už very much for a very necessary publication: it has filled a lot of gaps in terminology, it corrects more or less ar common language errors. Whereas: In Kaunas bookstores for a long time you will not find this publication and with the light, I think that it should be republished. jį I would like to add one more ir point to my thanks. Be no doubt, international elements video-, audio-, should be proposed to replace Lithuanian equivalents (in fact, I think that we will not be able to cure it completely: jų too late, foreign advertising does its thing). be It is clear, why it is necessary to correct the derivatives video įrašas, video juosta, why the word videostudija can be used, why it is proposed to use video magnetofonas, but why is it necessary to change video tape into video tape or video cassette, audio equipment into ne sound equipment? — That it is better, I agree, but cassette, equipment, as a tape recorder, studio are international words, so the ir correction of all these words should — be based on the same rule: videokasetė vaizdajuosté, vaizdo kasetė), videostudija video stūdija, video įrašų stūdija), videomagnetofonas video magnetofonas), ta audioaparatūra garso aparatūra), audiokasetė garso (— kasetė, garsūtapė).

Sližienė writes in „Gimtojoje kalboje“ (1992, no. 6, p. 9) that „The State Commission for the Lithuanian Language, having considered this spelling problem, decided that the word theatre is completely unnecessary when talking about cinema, it is enough to say write: kinas, videokinas ir (e.g. cinema) ‘Vingis “)“. I think it is a very good decision, there is no theatre there, and this composite name probably came from those times when short performances and concerts were held before the movie screening. ar The ir influence of the Russian language is undeniable. In addition, older people still remember the times when such an institution was called a cinema. 129 p. pea soup (= pea soup). Agree that one word is better. But is the composite name wrong? — Therefore, perhaps it should only be suggested to use a o ne one-word term, to correct as an error. Especially since we can always ne name each soup with one word. Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes. — O pasta, beans? Spaghetti? Bean? (There is such a woman's name). Sometimes soups can be called cabbage, pasta, but only when it is clear that we are talking about soup. O if not, there may be confusion with pasta su (semi-finished products) that are sold in grocery stores. Next to the nurse, medpunkto (61 p.), vettarnybos, vetpunkto p.)

It's not quite clear why "Terminology corrections" treat some words that are entered in the į "International Dictionary of Words": diameter (= diameter), case case, (= vagina), beach beach), tablo (= (=lightboard), title page heading (= page), thermometer heater).
