Wed, 17 June 2009  Varinis Pinigas A Copper Coin Photograph: Aukštojas Hill, Lithuania According to Wikipedia, Lithuanians had traditionally thought Juozapinė Hill was the highest point in Lithuania. In fact, it is only the third highest point. The highest point is Aukštojas Hill in the Medininkai Highlands, approximately 24 kilometers (15 miles) southeast of the capital city of Vilnius. Today we’ll do a quick introduction to many new adjectives. In this episode we’ll pick an adjective and then we’ll combine the adjective with a masculine singular noun, a feminine singular noun, a plural masculine noun, a plural feminine noun and finally the neuter adjective, if there is one. Some of the adjective endings you’ll see in this episode are –inis or –inė. This can be used to describe something that is made of a type of metal, material, substance, etcetera. For example, copper – varis, coppery or “of copper” – varinis. A copper coin – varinis pinigas. Fur – kailis. Furry or “made of fur” – kailinis. A furry coat – kailinis paltas. While creating this episode it got to be so long we decided to chop it into four parts. Here is part one of practice with adjectives. Ready? Here we go! examples: cold šaltas wet šlapias clean švarus pleasant malonus copper varinis wild, savage laukinis good geras average vidutinis woolen vilnonis straight tiesus healthy sveikas hot karštas green žalias popular populiarius tasty skanus fast greitas sweet saldus slow lėtas sour rūgštus nice, beautiful gražus Šaunuoliai! Excellent! You made it to the end of another episode! Puiku! Aukštojas Hill – Highest point in Lithuania
