Lygumai

Lygumai (pronounced Lee-goo-my) is a Lithuanian word that translates to "plains" or "lowlands" in English. It refers to flat, expansive areas of land, often characterized by relatively low elevation and gentle slopes. The term can describe both natural landscapes and areas modified for agricultural or other human uses. In a geographical context, Lygumai would describe a region lacking significant mountains or hills. The word is derived from the Lithuanian root related to "level" or "flat". It's commonly used in geographical descriptions and place names within Lithuania and other Baltic regions with Lithuanian-speaking populations.
