Noun

daudzpunkte f (5th declension)

  1. (orthography) ellipsis (punctuation mark consisting of three periods (…), used to indicate missing words or text)
    nobeigt teikumu ar daudzpunkti ― to end a sentence with an ellipsis
    sākt rindkopu ar daudzpunkti ― to start a paragraph with an ellipsis
    apzīmēt izlaidumu ar daudzpunkti ― to mark omission with an ellipsis
    saskaņā ar tīri gramatisko interpunkcijas principu daudzpunkti varētu nelietot pavisam, taču tā var iezīmēt rakstos dažādas loģiskas un psiholoģiskas nianses un norādīt uz intonācijas īpatnībām ― in accordance with the principle of grammatical punctuation, ellipses could be not used at all, but they can (serve to) highlight in writing different logical and psychological nuances and point to peculiarities in intonation
