Weâve already explained the Lithuanian concept of White Crows.  Just as a reminder, a White Crow is a person who is different.  Crows are normally black, so a white crow would stand out in a crowd.  This would be maybe an outsider; someone who doesnât fit into a group of average people.

Alright!  Now, here is the fourth and final episode of our series with Ingrida.  Weâll play the interview question and then break it all down.  Then weâll play it again and after that weâll play the entire interview with Ingrida without any breaks.  If youâve been studying this series, you should be able to understand quite a bit.  Here we goâ

Kaip galÄtum apibÅdinti posakÄ âBaltos varnosâ?

âBaltos varnosâ, turi omeny... âBaltos varnosâ kada sako moterys apie vyrus, ar vyrai apie moteris, ar..?

O gali bet kaip, su kuo Tau asociuojasi, Tau paÄiai â âBaltos varnosâ?

PaprasÄiausiai tos âBaltos varnosâ tai turbÅt yra tas posakis kilÄs iÅ lietuviÅ kultÅros,

na galbÅt ir iÅ kitÅ tautÅ yra, bet Åiuo atveju tai yra iÅ lietuviÅ kultÅros âBaltos varnosâ.

ReiÅkia tu kitokia, tu kitaip mÄstai, tu netaip kaip visi daro,

elgiasi...ar nori to kaip ir visi nori, tu kaÅko nori kito. Tai reiÅkia Tu jau netokia

kaip ir visos tos varnos, tai jos yra baltos. Bet iÅtikrÅjÅ tai aÅ sakyÄiau Äia daugiau lietuviÅ kultÅrai bÅdinga.

Åaunu Ingrida, aÄiÅ labai uÅ pokalbÄ.

PraÅau

Buvo labai Ädomu ir iÅtikrÅjÅ malonu pabendrauti

Labai malonu buvo atsakyti Ä Åiuos kelis klausimus

AÄiÅ, gero vakaro

Ah, so this is Baltos Varnosâ

Baltos Varnosâ

I donât have all of the stuff we normally do; Iâll just add it later.

Thatâs okay, we can do it right now.

Baltos varnos â jos.

KodÄl ne jie?

NeÅinau.

Jos â Baltos varnos.

Itâs not fair.  Itâs jos â Baltos varnos.  Feminine!

Thatâs true.

Itâs all about fair.

I feel it in the air.

In the air, thatâs nice.

Kaip galÄtum apibÅdinti posakÄ âBaltos varnosâ?
How could you define the expression, âWhite Crows?â

âBaltos varnosâ, turi omeny... âBaltos varnosâ kada sako moterys apie vyrus, ar vyrai apie moteris, ar..?
âWhite crows,â you have in mind... âWhite crows,â what women say about men or men say about women?

O gali bet kaip, su kuo Tau asociuojasi, Tau paÄiai â âBaltos varnosâ?
Oh it can be whatever, with what do you associate, âWhite Crows?â

PaprasÄiausiai tos âBaltos varnosâ tai turbÅt yra tas posakis kilÄs iÅ lietuviÅ kultÅros,
Merely that, âWhite Crowsâ it presumably is that phrase from Lithuanian culture,

na galbÅt ir iÅ kitÅ tautÅ yra, bet Åiuo atveju tai yra iÅ lietuviÅ kultÅros âBaltos varnosâ.
oh maybe it is from some people, but in this instance it is from Lithuanian culture âWhite Crows.â

ReiÅkia tu kitokia, tu kitaip mÄstai, tu netaip kaip visi daro,
It means you are different, you think differently, you arenât like everyone,

elgiasi...ar nori to kaip ir visi nori, tu kaÅko nori kito. Tai reiÅkia Tu jau netokia
demeanor...or you want something everybody wants, you want something different.  This means you are not the same

kaip ir visos tos varnos, tai jos yra baltos. Bet iÅtikrÅjÅ tai aÅ sakyÄiau Äia daugiau lietuviÅ kultÅrai bÅdinga.
like all these crows, they are white.  But really that I would say here more a Lithuanian cultural characteristic.

Åaunu Ingrida, aÄiÅ labai uÅ pokalbÄ.
Great Ingrida, thank you very much for your conversation.

And now, hereâs Ingridaâs entire interview with Raminta...

Hi there, Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

Today weâll continue with the interviews Raminta made at a Lithuanian party with Ingrida.  This will be part three.  The last episode with Ingrida, part IV, will probably be our next podcast.  In the background you can hear lots of frogs in a nearby pond, music and people talking.  In this interview Raminta is asking Ingrida another question.  Keep in mind Ingrida has no idea what Raminta is going to ask her. 

As I record this introduction, Raminta is in Istanbul, Turkey.  Raminta and I recorded this episode quickly just before she left.  Now, on with Ingridaâs thoughts.  Enjoy!

Kokie tau yra trys svarbiausi kriterijai vyre, kurie turÄtÅ bÅti? Ar charakterio savybÄs, ar...
Na pirmiausia tai vÄlgi aÅ pasakyÄiau yra protas.
Protas?
Protas, protas ir dar kartÄ protas.
Ir viskas tame pasakyta.
Vyras turi bÅti protingas.
Jis bus protingas, jis bus mielas, jis bus iÅradingas, jis bus visu tuo ko tau reikia.
Åinoma jeigu tu bÅsi tam tikro lygio su juo.
ÅiÅrint kokio tau vyro proto reikia, Äia nuo tavÄs irgi asmeniÅkai priklauso.
Ir toks dabar klausimas Äia, gal iÅtikrÅjÅ pamÄstymui daugiau, kas tau svarbiausia gyvenime?
Supratimas kito Åmogaus, vertinimas, pagarba.
Gal netgi sakyÄiau pagarba pirmoj vietoj. Nes jeigu tu gerbsi ÅmogÅ, tu jÄ suprasi, tu jÄ vertinsi.
Netgi jeigu tu klaidÅ padarysi gyvenime tas Åmogus tau atleis paprasÄiausiai
TodÄl, kad jis supras
TodÄl, kad jis supras, Åinoma tu neturi tuo naudotis

---

Alright, now letâs translate the conversation and then weâll break down many of the words and use them in examples.

---

Kokie tau yra trys svarbiausi kriterijai vyre, kurie turÄtÅ bÅti? Ar charakterio savybÄs, ar...
What for you are the three most important criteria in a man, he would have, or characteristic feature, or...

Na pirmiausia tai vÄlgi aÅ pasakyÄiau yra protas.
Oh, first of all that again I would say is intellect.

Protas?
Intellect?

Protas, protas ir dar kartÄ protas.
Intellect, intellect and once more intellect.

Ir viskas tame pasakyta.
And therein is said everything.

Vyras turi bÅti protingas.
A man has to be intelligent.

Jis bus protingas, jis bus mielas, jis bus iÅradingas, jis bus visu tuo ko tau reikia.
He will be intelligent, he will be nice, he will be inventive, he will be everything that you need.

Åinoma jeigu tu bÅsi tam tikro lygio su juo.
Of course if you will be at the same level with him.

ÅiÅrint kokio tau vyro proto reikia, Äia nuo tavÄs irgi asmeniÅkai priklauso.
It depends what manâs intelligence you need, this also depends personally on you.

Ir toks dabar klausimas Äia, gal iÅtikrÅjÅ pamÄstymui daugiau, kas tau svarbiausia gyvenime?
And now such a question here perhaps really to think some more, what to you is most important in life?

Supratimas kito Åmogaus, vertinimas, pagarba.
Understanding the other person, appreciation, respect.

Gal netgi sakyÄiau pagarba pirmoj vietoj. Nes jeigu tu gerbsi ÅmogÅ, tu jÄ suprasi, tu jÄ vertinsi.
Even though, I would say respect in the first place.  Because if you will respect a person, you will understand him, you will appreciate him.

Netgi jeigu tu klaidÅ padarysi gyvenime tas Åmogus tau atleis paprasÄiausiai.
Even if you will make some mistakes in life that person will simply forgive you.

TodÄl, kad jis supras.
Therefore, he will understand.

TodÄl, kad jis supras, Åinoma tu neturi tuo naudotis.
Accordingly, he will understand you, of course, you donât need to take advantage of it.

Alright, letâs break some of this down...

Photographer: TomaÅ StaÅevskij (Wikipedia)

According to Wikipedia, Lithuanians had traditionally thought JuozapinÄ Hill was the highest point in Lithuania.  In fact, it is only the third highest point.  The highest point is AukÅtojas Hill in the Medininkai Highlands, approximately 24 kilometers (15 miles) southeast of the capital city of Vilnius.

Today weâll do a quick introduction to many new adjectives.  In this episode weâll pick an adjective and then weâll 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 youâll see in this episode are âinis or âinÄ.  This can be used to describe something that is made of a type of metal, material, substance, etcetera.  For example, copper â varis, coppery or âof copperâ â varinis.  A copper coin â varinis pinigas.  Fur â kailis.  Furry or âmade of furâ â kailinis.  A furry coat â 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.

English: Battle of Grunwald by Jan Matejko
LietuviÅ: Åalgirio mÅÅis Jano Mateikos paveikslas
The picture supposedly illustrates the moment when Ulrich von Jungingen, the 26th Grand Master of the Teutonic Order (left, dressed in white, with a black cross), is killed by infantry. Vytautas the Great is shown in triumphant position (center, dressed in red).

On 15 July 1410 Lithuanian soldiers fought in the Battle of Grunwald.  The German Teutonic Knights never could get on well with Lithuanians.  The Pope in Rome had given the Teutonic Knights carte blanche to invade and conquer Lithuanian and Prussian lands.  The Prussians were linguistic and cultural cousins of the Lithuanians.  In 1385 Grand Duke Jogaila of Lithuania married Queen Jadwiga of Poland.  A few years later in 1409 the Teutonic Knights were trying to control an uprising in a territory they controlled â Samogitia or Åemaitija.

Lithuanian Grand Duke Jogaila, who was now by marriage the King of Poland declared that if the Teutonic Germans invaded Lithuania it would mean war.  The Teutonic Knights said this was a provocation and declared war.

Since Grand Duke Jogaila was now the King of Poland, he gave control of Lithuania to Vytautas the Great.

On the 2nd of July 1410 Vytautas the Great of Lithuania and King Jogaila of Poland joined their armies and crossed into Teutonic territory headed for the German castle at Marienburg.  The Germans were caught completely by surprise.

The German and Lithuanian-Polish forces faced off and fought for many hours.  The Germans were slaughtered and the Lithuanian-Polish armies were victorious. 

The battle was fought on the plains of Grunwald or in Lithuanian â Åalgiris.  The battle is known in Lithuania as Åalgirio mÅÅis.  MÅÅis is the word for battle.  Today Åalgiris is a symbol of resistance to foreign domination over Lithuania. 

The leading Lithuanian basketball and football teams are called BC Åalgiris and FK Åalgiris to commemorate the battle.

Hi there, Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today weâll start a new series called Lithuanian Out Loud Chat.  In this episode I sat down with Raminta and Antanas.  Antanas is a native of Vilnius, Lithuania.  In this chat series I toss out a phrase in English and I ask our native speakers to translate and discuss the phrase.  Keep in mind, they have no idea what Iâm going to ask them.  Thanks a million Antanai for coming on the show, it was very gracious of you.  But, before we get started, hereâs a message from a listener, Charles from Brazil.  Thanks Charles for sending us these comments and please send us an email, weâd love to hear from you.  So, hereâs Charles and then todayâs episode.  Enjoy!

(message from Charles)

(pergyventi = to undergo, to live through)
(iÅgyventi = to live out, to survive)

So, here is Jonas with a short story about his youth!

TÅkstantis devyni Åimtai ÅeÅiasdeÅimt devintaisiais metais buvau jaunas ir graÅus, man buvo devyniolika metÅ. Studijuoti aukÅtÄjÄ mokslÄ noro nebuvo, tuo metu buvau baigÄs vidurinÄ mokyklÄ, vienuolika klasiÅ. Kadangi aukÅtesnÄs pakopos mokslai netraukÄ, o tais senais sovietiniais laikais buvo privaloma karinÄ tarnyba, aÅ buvau nusiteikÄs du savo gyvenimo metus atiduoti tarybinei armijai.

Kareiviu bÅti nenorÄjau, bet tais laikais buvo tokios taisyklÄs kuriÅ reikÄjo laikytis. Tuo metu aÅ dirbau cemento gamykloje prie tekinimo stakliÅ, darbas nebuvo nei mielas, nei sunkus. Prie bet kokiÅ santvarkÅ pasaulyje, aiÅku, reikia dirbti, turÄti pajamÅ pragyvenimui.

PlanÅ ateiÄiai, galima sakyti, neturÄjau. Taigi, gavÄs pakvietimÄ iÅ karinio komisariato, pradÄjau ruoÅtis sovietinio kareivio tarnybai. Tais laikais SovietÅ SÄjunga pagal teritorijÄ buvo labai didelÄ. Niekas iÅ ÅauktiniÅ, iÅskyrus dideliÅ virÅininkÅ vaikus, neÅinojo Ä kokÄ regionÄ gali papulti atlikti karinÄ prievolÄ. Tuo metu man nebuvo svarbu kur atliksiu karinÄ tarnybÄ nors, tiesÄ sakant, truputÄ bijojau pakliÅti Ä jÅrÅ skyriÅ, kadangi jÅreivio tarnyba tÄsÄsi trejus metus.

Man tuometinÄ darbovietÄ surengÄ labai dideles iÅleistuves: didÅiulis, gausiai, valgiais ir degtine,  nukrautas stalas. AÅ nebuvau svaigalÅ mÄgÄjas, bet per Åias iÅleistuves teko nemaÅai iÅgerti. Pamenu, jog baigiantis vakarÄliui ÄmÄ svaigti galva ir aÅ nustojau gerti pildamas degtinÄ Ä vazonÄ su didele gÄle. Ne visai vÄlÅ vakarÄ grÄÅau namo. Mama, taip pat buvo suruoÅusi iÅleistuves. Namuose manÄs laukÄ giminÄs iÅ kaimo, mamos brolis Kazys su Åmona, keli draugai ir kaimynai. Kadangi buvau nemenkai prisivaiÅinÄs, Åiek tiek pavakarojus nuÄjau miegoti, o rytojaus dienÄ turÄjau prisistatyti kariniam komisariate.

Well, now we see how Jonas entered the army.  Maybe someday heâll tell us about his experiences as a soldier beginning in 1969.

Okay, great, now letâs go over the story again with a translation...
 
TÅkstantis devyni Åimtai ÅeÅiasdeÅimt devintaisiais metais buvau jaunas ir graÅus, man buvo devyniolika metÅ.

In 1969 I was young and handsome, I was 19 years old.

Studijuoti aukÅtÄjÄ mokslÄ noro nebuvo,

To study high education I didnât wish,

tuo metu buvau baigÄs vidurinÄ mokyklÄ, vienuolika klasiÅ.

at that time I had finished high school, eleven grades.

Kadangi aukÅtesnÄs pakopos mokslai netraukÄ,

Because higher grades didnât attract me,

o tais senais sovietiniais laikais buvo privaloma karinÄ tarnyba,

and in these old Soviet times military service was compulsory,

aÅ buvau nusiteikÄs du savo gyvenimo metus atiduoti tarybinei armijai.

I was set to surrender two years of my life to the Soviet Army.

Kareiviu bÅti nenorÄjau, bet tais laikais buvo tokios taisyklÄs kuriÅ reikÄjo laikytis.

I didnât want to be a soldier, but in those times there were rules which you needed to follow.

Tuo metu aÅ dirbau cemento gamykloje prie tekinimo stakliÅ, darbas nebuvo nei mielas, nei sunkus.

At that time I was working in a cement factory next to a lathe machine, the job wasnât pleasant nor hard.

Prie bet kokiÅ santvarkÅ pasaulyje, aiÅku, reikia dirbti, turÄti pajamÅ pragyvenimui.

Whatever system in the world, clearly, you need to work, you have to have income to live.

PlanÅ ateiÄiai, galima sakyti, neturÄjau.

Future plans, I can say, I didnât have.

Taigi, gavÄs pakvietimÄ iÅ karinio komisariato, pradÄjau ruoÅtis sovietinio kareivio tarnybai.

So, when I got an invitation from the Soviet Commissariat, I started to get ready for Soviet soldier service.

Tais laikais SovietÅ SÄjunga pagal teritorijÄ buvo labai didelÄ.

These times the Soviet Union, as far as territory goes, was very large.

Niekas iÅ ÅauktiniÅ, iÅskyrus dideliÅ virÅininkÅ vaikus, neÅinojo Ä kokÄ regionÄ gali papulti atlikti karinÄ prievolÄ.

Nobody from the conscripts, except high commanderâs children, knew to what region they might be stationed for military duty.

Tuo metu man nebuvo svarbu kur atliksiu karinÄ tarnybÄ nors, tiesÄ sakant,

At that time it wasnât important to me where I would do military duty but frankly speaking,

truputÄ bijojau pakliÅti Ä jÅrÅ skyriÅ, kadangi jÅreivio tarnyba tÄsÄsi trejus metus.

I was a little afraid to get into the sea department, because a sailorâs service continued for three years.   

Man tuometinÄ darbovietÄ surengÄ labai dideles iÅleistuves: didÅiulis, gausiai, valgiais ir degtine,  nukrautas stalas.

The then workplace that I worked at arranged a very large farewell party: big, full, dishes and vodka, a loaded table.

AÅ nebuvau svaigalÅ mÄgÄjas, bet per Åias iÅleistuves teko nemaÅai iÅgerti.

I wasnât a strong drinks amateur but by way of that farewell party I drank not a little.

Pamenu, jog baigiantis vakarÄliui ÄmÄ svaigti galva ir aÅ nustojau gerti pildamas degtinÄ Ä vazonÄ su didele gÄle.

I remember at the end of the evening my head began to whirl and I stopped drinking by pouring vodka into a big flower pot.

Ne visai vÄlÅ vakarÄ grÄÅau namo.

Not very late in the evening I came back home.

Mama, taip pat buvo suruoÅusi iÅleistuves.

Mother as well had arranged a farewell party.

Namuose manÄs laukÄ giminÄs iÅ kaimo.

at home for me were waiting my relatives from the country. 

mamos brolis Kazys su Åmona, keli draugai ir kaimynai.

My motherâs brother Kazys with his wife, a few friends and neighbors. 

Kadangi buvau nemenkai prisivaiÅinÄs, Åiek tiek pavakarojus nuÄjau miegoti, o rytojaus dienÄ turÄjau prisistatyti kariniam komisariate.

Because I was not a little filled up, a little partying (and) I went to sleep and the next day I needed to report to the military commissariat.

Okay, now letâs break down a few of the words and phrases in this story.

Alright, thanks for tuning in and weâll see you on the next episode of Lithuanian Out Loud!  Have a great day!  Geros dienos!  Iki pasimatymo!

Raminta and The Best Job In The World

http://www.islandreefjob.com/#/all-applicants/watch/ZgNPXF90ag8?ob=creation_date&desc=1&c=LT&as=25&s=20

According to Wikipedia, the Nemunas is a major Eastern European river beginning in Belarus and flowing through Lithuania before draining into the Curonian Lagoon and then into the Baltic Sea at KlaipÄda. The Nemunas marks the border between Lithuania and Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast. It is the 14th largest river in Europe, the largest in Lithuania and the 3rd largest in Belarus, it is navigable for most of its 900-kilometer length.

Today weâll start to learn how to use Lithuanian adjectives.  An adjective is a word that modifies a noun.  For example, a car is a noun.  What kind of car is it?  We need an adjective to describe this noun.  The car is expensive.  Expensive is an adjective.  An expensive car.  A red car.  An old car.  A fast car.

Lithuanian adjectives can be masculine, feminine or neuter.  Masculine adjectives are combined with masculine nouns and feminine adjectives are combined with feminine nouns.  The neuter is used when youâre referring to something inspecific.

Additionally, adjectives are plural when combined with plural nouns.  For today weâll just focus on singular nouns combined with singular adjectives.

Lithuanian adjectives normally preceed the noun.
Lithuanian adjectives are the only place youâll see the neuter in Lithuanian.
Lithuanian adjectives agree with the gender, number and case of the noun - except when you use the neuter.

Lithuanian adjectives have three basic endings; the first, -as or âa, the second, -us or âu, and the third, -is or âÄ.

the first group -as or âa has three genders â masculine, feminine and neuter
the neuter has no case and no number
you use the neuter when youâre talking about something not identified
you donât combine nouns with neutral adjectives because nouns donât have a neutral form
youâll see what we mean as we go through the next few episodes
the plural of âas changes to âi, the plural of -a changes to âos
but on this episode weâre only concerned with the singular forms

here are examples of âas and âa
small                         maÅas / maÅa
soft                           minkÅtas / minkÅta
hard                          kietas / kieta

the neuter form of this group ends in âa
maÅa
minkÅta
kieta

the second group -us or âi has three genders â masculine, feminine and neuter
the neuter has no case and no number
the plural of âus changes to âÅs, the plural of -i changes to âios
on this episode weâre only concerned with the singular forms

here are examples of âus and âi
clean                         Åvarus / Åvari
cheap                        pigus / pigi
expensive                  brangus / brangi

the neuter form of this group ends in âu
Åvaru
pigu
brangu

the third group -is or âÄ has only two genders â masculine and feminine
this group doesnât have a neuter form
the plural of âis changes to âiai, the plural of -Ä changes to âÄs

here are examples of âis and âÄ
icy                            ledinis / ledinÄ
silky                          Åilkinis / ÅilkinÄ
synthetic                    sintetinis / sintetinÄ

neuter form: none

The singular masculine adjectives end in âas âus or âis.  Only âas and âus have a neuter ending.
The singular feminine adjectives end in âa âi or âÄ.  Only âa and âi can have a neuter ending.

Now letâs go through some examples so this makes more sense.

According to a Los Angeles Times article of September 2005, a Russian SU-27 flying from St. Petersburg to Kaliningrad went off course, flew over Lithuania, the pilot ejected and the plane crashed into an empty Lithuanian field.  Everything about this story is bizarre.  Russian authorities initially claimed the plane was unarmed but in fact it had air-to-air missiles and a canon.  Why did the aircraft fly over 120 miles into Lithuania?  Why did the pilot turn off his radar beacon?  Why did he fly low to the ground under Lithuanian radar?  Nothing about the incident makes sense.  Soon after the crash Lithuanian Air Force Commander Colonel Jonas Marcinkus was fired from his post for some phone calls he made to Russian military officers.  Some analysts have suggested the aircraft was testing Lithuanian defenses for a hypothetical Russian war with Poland and Lithuania.

According to the Wikipedia page entitled, Rimantas Antanas StankeviÄius, on 9 September 1990, Lithuanian pilot Rimantas Antanas StankeviÄius died while performing at an airshow in Treviso, Italy.  He was flying an SU-27 high-performance jet and after performing a loop the aircraft was lower than it should have been.  Rimantas could have ejected safely but the unpiloted aircraft might then have smashed into the crowds of people watching the show.  Rimantas chose to stay with the aircraft to ensure it crashed clear of the spectators.  Rimantas was not only a first-class test pilot but also the first Lithuanian astronaut who flew the Buran Space Shuttle prototype.  He was born in MariampolÄ, Lithuania and was buried in Kaunas, Lithuania.  He was 46 years-old.

According to the free Wikipedia page Romuva; The Quendlinburg Chronicle mentions a missionary Bruno of Querfort, who was killed along with 18 men by Yotvingians because of entering The Holy Forest.  This was the first time the name of Lithuania was mentioned in written sources.  Lithuanians came to history as very conservative believers of an ancient European pre-Christian faith, they preserved this religion until the 14th and 15th centuries.  They happened to be the last non-nomadic people in Europe practicing pristine Indo-European polytheism.

In the 13th century Pope Gregory IX declared crusades against the Baltic peoples.  This led to the destruction of the Baltic faith.  Grand Duke Mindaugas was Christianized with his family and warriors in 1251 to get recognition from Christian Europe.  But, Mindaugas still worshipped pagan deities as the Hyperian Chronicle mentions.  He sacrificed to the Supreme God Andajus or Dievas, PerkÅnas, Teliavelis, the god of blacksmiths, and ÅvorÅna, goddess of forests and hunters.

Today weâll go over the Lithuanian verb galÄti â to be able.  Here are galÄti and negalÄti conjugated in the present tense.

According to the Wikipedia page entitled, Russians in Lithuania, most of the present-day Russians in Lithuania are migrants from the Soviet era and their descendants.

In Lithuania, Russian emmigration was resisted.  In Latvia and Estonia, less was done to stop it. By 1989 Russians made up 30% of the population in Estonia, while in Latvia, ethnic Latvians made up just 52% of the population. In contrast, in the last Soviet census in 1989, only 9 percent of Lithuania's population were ethnic Russians.

Russians who reside in Lithuania live mainly in urban areas. In Vilnius they make up 13% of the population, and 20% in KlaipÄda. Kaunas has just 4% ethnic Russians. The town of Visaginas was built for workers at the Ignalina nuclear power plant and therefore has an ethnic Russian majority of 55%.

Alright, here is the first in a series of conversations Raminta recorded at a barbecue party.  In the background of these recordings you can hear music from the party, insects, frogs, dogs and passing cars.  These conversations are relaxed, spontaneous and unscripted.  First, youâll hear the conversation between Raminta and Ingrida and then weâll break it down using some examples. Then at the end weâll play the conversation again.  Enjoy!  Enjoy!
Viskasâ.Labas vakaras, Ingrida!

Labas vakaras, Raminta!

Raminta:
AÄiÅ, tai va, Ingrida, kaip manai, kas gyvenime yra laimingesni â vyrai ar moterys?
Thanks, so, Ingrida, what do you think, who in life is happier - men or women?

Ingrida:
AÅ galvoju, kad laimingesnÄs vis tik moterys yra gyvenime.
I think that happier, nevertheless, women are in life.

Raminta:
Moterys? KodÄl taip manot?
Women? Why do you think so?

Ingrida:
TodÄl, kad jos gali pasiekti daugiau negu vyrai kartais, jos yra iÅradingesnÄs, subtilesnÄs, jautresnÄs, ÄdomesnÄs daugumoje, aiÅku yra ir vyrÅ ÄdomiÅ, na ir daug daugiau tÅ privalumÅ yra iÅtikrÅjÅ, tik reikia bÅti moteriai protingai, protas nugali viskÄ.
Because they can achieve more than men sometimes, they are more inventive, more subtle, more sensitive, more interesting in the majority, clearly there are interesting men, and there are many more qualities to tell the truth, only itâs necessary for women to be clever, intelligence conquers all.

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

Today weâre in the month of December which in Lithuanian isâgruodis.

Why is 16 February Lithuanian Independence Day?  The Act of Independence was signed by the Council of Lithuania 16 February 1918.  It was during World War I and German troops were still in control of Lithuania.  The German Empire prohibited the printing of the Act in Lithuanian newspapers. After Germany lost World War I, Lithuania established its independence for the first time in the 20th Century.  Of course, after the Soviet Union invaded and occupied Lithuania in 1944, Lithuanians had to wait until 11 March 1990 to declare independence again.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

If we leave off any nationalities youâd like to see here, just let us know.  Here are the names of some countries in Lithuanian.

China             Kinija
Kenya            Kenija

According to a Baltic Times article entitled, âCity of Women,â there are 20% more women in Vilnius, Lithuania than men.  This is due to suicides, alcoholism, and men going to other countries to find work.  The article also states Lithuania has the highest number of road fatalities of all European countries.

Just a few hours ago Kristina and I recorded this episode using Skype.  Naturally, since weâre using Skype, you wonât hear the crisp, clean audio youâre used to, but I think everything is perfectly understandable.

So, Kristina, thanks again for coming on the show and good luck with your video series.  Now, on with this episode covering the verbs norÄti and nenorÄti.  Enjoy!

Lithuanian Tutorials on www.youtube.com by Kristina Tamosauskaite:

www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lithuanian+tutorial&search_type=&aq=1&oq=lithuanian+tu

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Kristina and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today weâre in the month of November which in Lithuanian is lapkritis.

According to the Wikipedia page, Vigilant/Kudirka Incident, on 23 November 1970, Simonas or "Simas" Kudirka, a Soviet seaman of Lithuanian nationality, leapt from the 400-foot or 120 meter ship Sovetskaya Litva, anchored in American waters near Aquinnah, Massachusetts, onto the USS Vigilant.

Kudirka saw this as a chance to ask for asylum and flee from the Soviet Union to the United States.  The Captain of the American ship, Commander Ralph Eustis didnât know what to do and he contacted headquarters when the Soviets demanded that Kudirka be returned to their ship.  The Russians claimed Kudirka had stolen 3,000 rubles from their shipâs safe.  This was a common tactic of Russian ships in situations like this.

After ten hours had passed Rear Admiral William B. Ellis ordered Commander Ralph Eustis to permit a KGB detachment to board the Vigilant to return Kudirka to the Soviet ship.  What followed was a ridiculous and shameful incident where the KGB boarded a U.S. warship and chased Simonas Kudirka up and down the ship while Kudirka pleaded with any American he found for help.  At one point a KGB agent grabbed an axe from a bulkhead intending to use it on Kudirka.  An American sailor grabbed the axe and wouldnât let him have it.

Eventually, the KGB caught Simonas, beat him to a pulp, handcuffed him and dragged him off the American ship and back onto the Soviet ship.

This led to a change in asylum policy by the United States. Admiral Ellis and his chief of staff were punished for their actions by the military. Commander Eustis was reprimanded and assigned to shore duty.  Kudirka was tried for treason by the Soviet Union and given a ten-year sentence in a Gulag.

An award-winning book detailing the incident, Day of Shame, by Algis RukÅenas, was published in 1973. The book helped spur further investigations into the incident that eventually led to Kudirka's release by the Soviets.

The incident was portrayed in a 1978 television movie, The Defection of Simas Kudirka, with Alan Arkin playing Kudirka and Donald Pleasence playing the captain of the Soviet ship.

Many of the verbs weâve gone over in previous episodes require the accusative case or galininkas.  NorÄti is different.  NorÄti requires the genitive case and nenorÄti also requires the genitive case.  NorÄti is the Lithuanian verb â to want, to like, to wish, to desire.

According to Wikipedia, EglÄ the Queen of Serpents is considered one of the most archaic and best-known Lithuanian fairy tales and the richest in references of Baltic mythology. Over a hundred slightly diverging versions of the plot have been collected. Its multi-layered mythological background has been an interest of Lithuanian and foreign researchers of Indo-European mythology.

Photographer: Funkai1 (Wikipedia)

EglÄ is both a popular female name in Lithuania and also a noun meaning spruce tree. The serpents (Åaltys) of the tale are grass snakes in Lithuanian, but because they inhabit the sea, the word may mean a mythical water snake.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

The Lithuanian word praÅom is used a lot.  Youâve probably heard it in every episode of Lithuanian Out Loud.  We often say, praÅom pakartoti.  Pakartoti is the infinitive verb which means, to repeat.  So, praÅom pakartoti translates as, please repeat.  You can use it on the street any time you donât understand what is said.  Itâs perfect for your lesson with a native Lithuanian speaker.

use this when handing someone something

here you go          praÅom
here you are         praÅom
this is for you       praÅom

thank you             aÄiÅ
itâs nothing           nÄra uÅ kÄ
itâs nothing           nÄra uÅ kÄ

when you say nÄra uÅ kÄ in normal conversation is sounds more like one word

itâs nothing           nÄra uÅ kÄ
no sweat              nÄra uÅ kÄ

itâs nothing           nieko tokio
youâre welcome    nieko tokio
no sweat               nieko tokio

a friend brings you a drink and says,

here you go           praÅom
you reply,
thank you              aÄiÅ

the waiter says,
itâs nothing            nÄra uÅ kÄ

you buy a book and hand the bookseller some money and you say,

here you go              praÅom
the bookseller says,
thank you                 dÄkoju
and you reply,
itâs nothing               nÄra uÅ kÄ

DÄkoju means the same thing as aÄiÅ, itâs a little more formal and more polite.  DÄkui means the same as dÄkoju.

thank you                     dÄkoju
thank you                     dÄkui
thank you                     dÄkoju
thank you                     dÄkoju
thanks                          dÄkui
thanks                          dÄkui
thank you (formal)        dÄkui jums
thank you very much     labai dÄkui

an official at the airport asks for your passport, you pull it out, hand it to her and you say,
here you go                 praÅom
thank you                    dÄkoju
youâre welcome           praÅom

So, you can say praÅom to mean, here you are, or here you go.  You can use it to say, youâre welcome.  You can also use praÅom to invite someone after youâve opened a door for them.

you open a car door for someone and you say,
please, allow me            praÅom
thank you                     dÄkoju
youâre welcome            praÅom

you open your front door and invite a friend in, you say,
please come in               praÅom
thank you                      aÄiÅ
itâs nothing                    nÄra uÅ kÄ

youâre getting on a bus and you stand aside to let an elderly woman board before you,
please, you first              praÅom
thank you                      dÄkui jums
itâs nothing                     nÄra uÅ kÄ

if weâre sitting on the bus and a pregnant woman gets on board and has nowhere to sit, you get up and offer her your seat, you say,
please, sit here               praÅom
thanks                          dÄkui
youâre welcome             praÅom

now, as we mentioned at the beginning of this episode, we can use praÅom combined with the infinitive of a verb.  Itâs a gentle way of suggesting someone do something.  Here are some quick examplesâ

please, sit down              praÅom, atsisÄsti
please, give (me)             praÅom, paduoti
please, tell (me)              praÅom, pasakyti
please, repeat                 praÅom, pakartoti
please, write                   praÅom, raÅyti
please, take                    praÅom, paiimti
please, read (me)            praÅom, paskaityti
please, wait                    praÅom, palaukti
please, listen                   praÅom, klausyti
please, donât smoke        praÅom, nerÅkyti (rÅkyti â to smoke)
please, come in               praÅom, uÅeiti
please, eat                      praÅom, valgyti
please, show (me)           praÅom, parodyti
please, advise (me)          praÅom, patarti
please, have a seat           praÅom, prisÄsti
please, listen                   praÅom, paklausyti
please, visit                     praÅom, apsilankyti
please, stand up              praÅom, atsistoti

or, during a language class we might use theseâ

please, speak Lithuanian     praÅom kalbÄti lietuviÅkai
please, speak English          praÅom kalbÄti angliÅkai

Puiku!  Excellent!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  In Latin novem is the word for nine.  Today weâre in a new month!  In the old Roman calender November was the ninth month.  In Lithuanian this month is lapkritis â derived from lapas, the word for leaf and kristi, to fall.  Lapkritis is leaf falling month.

Photograph: Birches in winter
Photographer: Olegivvit (Wikipedia)

According to Wikipedia, in Lithuania trees of special significance include oak (ÄÅuolas), birch (berÅas), linden (liepa), and spruce (eglÄ). A veneration of oak trees comes from pre-Christian times, when they were of religious significance. An ancient oak tree in StelmuÅÄ, thought to be at least 1,500 years old, is the best-known tree in the country.

So far youâve been introduced to the accusative singular and plural and the genitive singular and plural.  The locative singular for example,

Iâm in Vilnius                        aÅ esu Vilniuje
Vilnius is in Lithuania            Vilnius yra Lietuvoje
Berlin is in Germany              Berlynas yra Vokietoje
Tokyo is in Japan                  Tokijas yra Japonijoje
Delhi is in India                     Delis yra Indijoje

Masculine nouns that end in âas change to âe in the locative singular.  For example, the city â miestas, in the city â mieste.

In the plural locative the ending changes to âuose.  In the city â mieste, in the cities â miestuose.

Here are the masculine endings for the plural locative:

-as changes to âuose
-is changes to âiuose
-ys changes to âiuose
-us changes to âuose
-ius changes to âiuose

The Lithuanian national flag is the tricolor of yellow, green and red.  The yellow represents the golden fields of Lithuanian grain, the green represents the green countryside of Lithuania and red represents the blood that has been shed on Lithuanian soil.

In a previous episode we went over the Lithuanian ten litas or deÅimt litÅ banknote.  The twenty litas or dvideÅimt litÅ bill is decorated with the portrait of Jonas MaÄiulis who lived from 1862 to 1932.  Jonas MaÄiulis urged the Lithuanian people to fight against Russification policies and to fight against the occupation of Lithuania by Imperial Russia.  The reverse side of the bill features the Vytautas the Great War Museum in Kaunas.

According to Radio Vilnius: News & Current Affairs, sales of bicycles are up in Lithuania.  There are government efforts towards creating bicycle lanes in cities.  However, bicycles are not so ingrained in the culture so as to make bike riding safe.  Cars still rule the roads.  The European Union gave Lithuania funds for creating a bicycle safe infrastructure but the program was stopped and 10 million litas will be returned.  Vilnius city officials say theyâll implement the program eventually in their own time but there are no plans to put this into motion.

Today weâll go over the Lithuanian verb daryti â to do, to make, to open, to close.  Here are daryti and nedaryti conjugated in the present tense.

The Lithuanian state flag is different from the national flag of yellow, green and red.  The state flag has the national symbol of the Vytis on a red background.  Itâs a beautiful flag and it has a longer history than the tricolor but it was not chosen as the national flag mainly because it would have been difficult to recreate the design.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

Previously we worked on numbers that end in one, numbers that end in zero, and numbers that end in two through nine.  Numbers 11 through 19 or numbers that end in 11 through 19 are similar to numbers that end in zero.  Numbers that end in 11 through 19 use the plural genitive.

According to the free encyclopedia, Wikipedia, AuÅrinÄ is the Morning Star, a feminine deity in the old Lithuanian religion. Some experts reconstruct her as the goddess of beauty, youth and health, and the queen of all stars. AuÅrinÄ's sisters are other stars: VakarinÄ, the evening Venus, who makes the bed for SaulÄ, Indraja - Jupiter, SÄlija - Saturn, ÅiezdrÄ - Mars and Vaivora - Mercury.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

With this episode weâll continue working on combining numbers with nouns.  Any number that ends in number two through nine causes the noun to become plural.  The exceptions to this are the numbers 12-19.  Weâll do those on an upcoming episode.

Also, I did the math and in 13 months weâve done over nine episodes of Lithuanian Out Loud a month.  Most of the time Iâm trying to put out three or four a week, but I rarely have that much time.  For the next few months we need to cut way back on our frequency.  Itâs just that we both have many other projects that have been neglected and we need to put some time into them.

But, donât worry, weâre still working on dozens of episodes on paper and we have about 15 recorded.  So, we arenât quitting, we just need to free up some time for other things.  Weâre not going to stop, weâre just going to slow down the pace a bit.  Once these other projects have been tended to, weâll try to put out dozens of new episodes for you.  Alright, on with the show and hereâs AgnÄ.  Take it away, AgnÄ!

Hi, I am AgnÄ, and welcome back for some more Lithuanian phrases. If you remember, the last few times I taught you some phrases for angry and awful things. So it is time to learn some nicer expressions :)

If you want to compliment someone for something which is beautiful or nice, you could say: graÅus kaip reta... or graÅi kaip reta... literally; rare beauty.
 
You could use it either for a person or for a thing. Also, you can say graÅi kaip lÄlÄ - as pretty as a doll, but be careful. If you use this in reference to, for example, a woman with too much make-up or a man who's dressed a little too fine, you'll sound sarcastic.

Let's learn some words:
Retas - rare (masculine)
Reta - rare (feminine)
GraÅi - nice, beautiful, pretty (feminine)
GraÅus - nice, beautiful, handsome (masculine)
VirÅelis - a cover
Knyga - a book
Åiedas - a ring, also - a blossom
Auksas - gold
GÄlÄ - a flower
Dukra - a daughter
DukrelÄ - a daughter, using the diminutive
LÄlÄ - a doll
LÄlytÄ - a doll in the diminutive

Let's repeat one time slowly:
GraÅi kaip lÄlÄ - as beautiful as a doll - referring to a feminine noun
GraÅus kaip lÄlÄ - as beautiful as a doll - referring to a masculine noun
GraÅi kaip reta - of a rare beauty, referring to a feminine noun
GraÅus kaip reta - of a rare beuaty, referring to a masculine noun

Now let's go over some examples:

Ta mergina graÅi kaip lÄlÄ - That lady is as beautiful as a doll
Man nepatinka vaikinai graÅÅs kaip lÄlÄs - I don't like guys who are as pretty as dolls.  In English this would loosely translate as, I don't like pretty-boys.

These two examples could be used sarcastically, so be careful.

But, if you want to use a diminutive form, it could sound like a compliment.
For example:

Tavo dukrelÄ graÅi kaip lÄlytÄ - Your little daughter is as beautiful as a little doll

Knygos virÅelis graÅus kaip reta - the bookcover is of a rare beauty
Åitas aukso Åiedas graÅus kaip reta - this golden ring is of a rare beauty
Diena graÅi kaip reta - the day is of a rare beauty...
Åi gÄlÄ graÅi kaip reta - this flower is of a rare beauty...

As the word order in the Lithuanian language is not important, you could also say it like this:
GraÅus kaip reta knygos virÅelis...
GraÅus kaip reta aukso Åiedas...
GraÅus kaip reta Åitas aukso Åiedas...
GraÅi kaip reta diena...
GraÅi kaip reta gÄlÄ...
GraÅi kaip reta Åi gÄlÄ...

It just depends on what you want to emphasize more. It will also go together with your intonation, so you can play with it and enjoy :)

See you next time! Make your day of a rare beauty!
Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

According to Wikipedia, the Lithuanian national plant is rue (rÅta). A bride traditionally wears a little crown made of rue, which is a symbol of her life as an unmarried young woman. During the wedding the crown is burned, symbolizing the loss of careless childhood and entrance into the world of adulthood.

Today weâll go over the Lithuanian verb ÅiÅrÄti â to look, to look at, to watch, to stare at, to gaze at.  Some related words are;

ÅiÅronai                                      binoculars
spyglass, telescope                       ÅiÅronas
spectator, onlooker                      ÅiÅrovas, ÅiÅrovÄ
spectators, onlookers                    ÅiÅrovai

Here are ÅiÅrÄti and neÅiÅrÄti conjugated in the present tense;

to look at                                    ÅiÅrÄti
I look at                                      aÅ ÅiÅriu
you look at                                  tu ÅiÅri
he looks at                                  jis ÅiÅri
she looks at                                 ji ÅiÅri
we look at                                   mes ÅiÅrime
you look at (jÅs)                          jÅs ÅiÅrite
you all look at (jÅs)                      jÅs ÅiÅrite
they look at (mm/mf)                   jie ÅiÅri
they look at (ff)                           jos ÅiÅri

to not look at                               neÅiÅrÄti
I donât look at                              aÅ neÅiÅriu
you donât look at                          tu neÅiÅri
he doesnât look at                         jis neÅiÅri
she doesnât look at                        ji neÅiÅri
we donât look at                           mes neÅiÅrime
you donât look at (jÅs)                  jÅs neÅiÅrite
you all donât look at (jÅs)              jÅs neÅiÅrite
they donât look at (mm/mf)           jie neÅiÅri
they donât look at (ff)                   jos neÅiÅri

here are some examples using the infinitive of the verb

Today weâll continue working on numbers combined with nouns.  This episode covers numbers that end in the number zero.  On the next episode weâll take a break from numbers and explore the verb ÅiÅrÄti â to look at and neÅiÅrÄti â to not look at.

Back in May of 2008, Ola Halvorsen, a listener from Oslo, Norway wrote us saying he loved to view the show notes for our episodes in iTunes.  But, after episode 42 or so, they disappeared.  Well, it took a few months to get it all done, but we tore down all the episodes that didnât have show notes in the lyrics section, there were about 60 of them, added the show transcripts and put the mp3s back up.

So now, if you download the episodes using iTunes, you can right click on the episode, then click on âinfoâ and youâll see the episodeâs show notes.  You can even modify them for your own needs if you like. 
 
Now, hereâs another awesome installment of AgnÄ iÅ Vilniaus, take it away Agne!

Sveiki, aÅ AgnÄ.  Today we'll learn how to say you don't like something or you want to say, that something is disgusting. If your Lithuanian friend asks you, "what do you think about the weather?â And you don't like it for any reason, you could say, "baisus kaip gyvenimas..." - literally - as awful as life.
 
Let's translate the words
 
baisus, baisi                  terrible, awful
kaip                             like
gyvenimas                    life
kÄ manai apie...?           what do you think about...
oras                             weather
namas                          house
reklama                        advertisement
suknelÄ                         dress
 
Now let's say it one time slowly
 
Baisus kaip gyvenimas    as awful as life

Now let's see some examples:
 
What do you think about the weather?       KÄ manai apie orÄ? - Baisus kaip gyvenimas
What do you think about this house?          KÄ manai apie ÅÄ namÄ? - Baisus kaip gyvenimas

If the object you are asking about is feminine, you will say not baisus, but baisi:

What do you think about this advertising?    KÄ manai apie ÅiÄ reklamÄ? - Baisi kaip gyvenimas
What about the dress in this old photo?        KÄ manai apie suknelÄ Åioje senoje nuotraukoje? - Baisi kaip gyvenimas

Try this expression out on your Lithuanian friends and see, how it works. I'm AgnÄ and I'll see you next week when we'll do some more Lithuanian from Vilnius.  Ate!

keturiasdeÅimt arkliÅ
keturiasdeÅimt arkliÅ - forty horses

Hi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today weâre in the month of September which in Lithuanian is  -  rugsÄjis.

According to Wikipedia, Russia and Belarus have what are called Special Purpose Police Squads or OMON (Russian: ÐÑÑÑÐ ÐÐÐÐÑÐÐ ÐÑÐÐÐÐÐ ÐÐÐÐÐÑÐÐÐÑ; Otryad Militsii Osobogo Naznacheniya).  Their motto is "We know no mercy and do not ask for any."  In May 1991 the Soviet Union still hadnât recognized Lithuaniaâs independence and the OMON assaulted the KrakÅnai border post.  Approximately 30 Lithuanian officers were attacked and wounded including Gintaras Åagunis who was killed.  Two months later the OMON unit stationed in Riga attacked the Medininkai border crossing near the Vilnius-Minsk highway on 31 July.  Seven Lithuanian officers, Mindaugas Balavakas, Algimantas Juozakas, Juozas Janonis, Algirdas Kazlauskas, Antanas Musteikis, Stanislovas OrlaviÄius and RiÄardas RabaviÄius were shot and killed.  These men were unarmed and they were all shot in the head execution style.  Customs officer Tomas Åernas barely survived and today is disabled.

The men responsible for these cold-blooded murders are now in Russia.  The Russian government refuses to hand them over to Lithuanian authorities.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

Today weâll continue combining numbers with nouns.  In this episode weâll focius on numbers that end in zero.  If a number ends in zero, such as ten, twenty, 140 or 1,000, we use the plural genitive.

I thought you might like to know that our Lithuanian professor, Radvyda VasvilaitÄ, sent us your link when she sent us her class schedule.  LCC International University has a large number of new North American professors every year who try to learn as much Lithuanian as they can.  Your entertaining podcasts keep my mind busy while I do housework and other boring jobs.

Thank you!

Geri Henderson, PhD
Chair, English Department
LCC International University
KlaipÄda, Lithuania

Thanks Geri for the nice words and weâll try to keep the episodes coming.  Okay, AgnÄ, your turn, take it away!!!

Hi, I am AgnÄ, and welcome back for some more Lithuanian phrases. If you see any angry Lithuanian, you could ask him: kodÄl tu toks piktas kaip ÅirÅÄ? - Why are you as angry as a wasp?
Lithuanians have a lot of expressions with the word angry - piktas.

But let's start from the very beginning.
Here is a vocabulary for "angry expressions"

kodÄl? - why?
toks - such, so
toks... kaip... - as... as...
piktas, pikta - angry
ÅirÅÄ - wasp
ragana - witch
velnias - devil
nebÅti - to not be
nebÅk - don't be

and here are the expressions:

Piktas kaip ÅirÅÄ
Pikta kaip ÅirÅÄ
Piktas kaip velnias
Pikta kaip ragana                       

Let's say them one time slowly:

Piktas kaip ÅirÅÄ - As angry as a wasp - if you are addressing a male
Pikta kaip ÅirÅÄ - As angry as a wasp - if you are addressing a female
Piktas kaip velnias - As angry as the devil - commonly is used for a male, but it is not a mistake to say pikta kaip velnias, addressing a female
Pikta kaip ragana - As angry as a witch - commonly is used for a female, but it is not a mistake if you wold use it for a male, saying piktas kaip ragana

Let's go over some examples:

KodÄl jis toks piktas? - Why is he so angry?
KodÄl jis toks piktas kaip ÅirÅÄ? - Why is he as angry as a wasp?
KodÄl ji tokia pikta? - Why is she so angry?
KodÄl ji tokia pikta kaip ragana? - Why is she as angry as a witch?

Tavo tÄtis piktas kaip ÅirÅÄ - Your dad is as angry as a wasp
Vairuotojas piktas kaip velnias - The driver is as angry as the devil
Tavo draugÄ pikta kaip ragana - Your girlfriend is as angry as a witch
NebÅk piktas (or pikta) kaip ragana - Don't be as angry as a witch

That's it for today, see you next time! Enjoy it and don't be angry :)

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today weâre in the month of September which in Lithuanian is rugsÄjis.

In the navy a submarine tender is a ship that supplies and supports submarines.  In 1961 when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were still forceably part of the Soviet Union, Captain Jonas PleÅkys sailed his submarine tender out of KlaipÄda and into the Baltic Sea.  Soviet authorities had ordered the ship to travel to Tallinn, Estonia but Jonas sailed to Gotland, Sweden and defected to the west.  The Soviet Union convicted Ponas Jonas in absentia and his sentence was death by firing squad.  Jonas died in California in 1993 of old age.

His story is believed to be the basis for Tom Clancyâs book The Hunt for Red October.  In the book and in the movie submarine captain Marko Ramius is known as, âThe Lithuanian.â  The submarine captain sails his ship to the west and defects.

Just an interesting bit of trivia; in the beginning of the book Captain Marko Ramius kills his KGB political officer.  The Soviet officerâs name?  Ivan Putin.  Thatâs funny. 

pradÄkime, letâs get started

Now weâre going to study something I didnât understand for a very long time.  Numbers that end in the number one.  For example, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91, 101, 11,391, 635,271, excluding 11.  Eleven is the only number that doesnât follow this pattern.

Before we get to the meat of this episode, here are some nouns for you;
How do you say it in Lithuanian?  Kaip pasakyti lietuviÅkai?

a shoe           batas
the shoe        batas
a table           stalas
the table        stalas
a glass           taurÄ
the glass        taurÄ
a chair           kÄdÄ
the chair        kÄdÄ
a song           daina
the song        daina
a pizza           pica
the pizza        pica

The interesting thing about 21, 31, 41, etcetera, when paired with a noun, for example, 21 days, 31 cities, or 41 books, the noun has a singular form.

praÅom pakartotiâ

21 days           dvideÅimt viena diena
31 colors         trisdeÅimt viena spalva
41 glasses        keturiasdeÅimt viena taurÄ
51 televisions   penkiasdeÅimt vienas televizorius
61 fruits           ÅeÅiasdeÅimt vienas vaisius

Do you see what weâre getting at here?  If the number ends in a one, then the noun is singular.  The only  exception is eleven or vienuolika.  Eleven does not follow this rule. 

PraÅom pakartotiâplease repeatâ

AgnÄ reminded me that in Lithuanian Out Loud episode 51 a song jumped from the lips of Margarita.  This song is "Lietuva", and the music was writen by Galina SavinienÄ.  The words were written by Justinas MarcinkeviÄius a well-known Lithuanian poet.  AgnÄ says this song is usually sung in Lithuanian Song Festivals.

Thanks AgnÄ for this fabulous recording!  Spectacular!  How about a round of applause for AgnÄ?  Woohoo!  One last thing before we get going.  A listener named Jim is inviting listeners to join his Lithuanian practice chat room on Skype at captainjim04.  Weâll post his Skype name on this episodeâs blog page entry.  Now, on with todayâs episode!  Take it away, AgnÄ!

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language â and weâre excited about it too!

Today weâre in a new month!  In Latin September means seven and septimus means seventh.  In Lithuanian this month is rugsÄjis.  In this month we add the prefix sÄti â to sow.  This time of year the grain is sown, germinates and overwinters in the field.

Acording to Wikipedia, the white stork (gandras) is usually felt to be the national bird of Lithuania. Lithuanians believe that storks bring harmony to the families on whose property they nest; they have also kept up the tradition of telling their children that storks bring babies.

Were you told that?  Yeah
Did you believe it?  Yesâby the way, I saw in America, next to one house, it was a stork with babies, so I guess in America you have that tradition too.
Yeah, tradition, yes, but we donât actually tell our children this.
Mhmm, but maybe some families do because it would not make sense to have a stork with babies in front of the house and not believe in thatâI donât knowâ

Stork Day is celebrated on March 25 with various archaic rituals: gifts for children, attributed to the storks, such as fruits, chocolates, pencils, and dyed eggs, are hung on tree branches and fences; snakes are caught, killed and buried under the doorstep; straw fires are lit. Lithuania is a beneficial and important habitat for these birds: it has the highest known nesting density in the world.

Stork Day, do you celebrate Stork Day, Dear?  No, I donât.

The primary focus of this episode is to cover some unusual nouns that donât follow the normal rules when they are declined.

This episode will focus on just three words.  All three are feminine.

Before we get started with todayâs Lithuanian, here is some input from Nicolas.  Thanks for the input and weâll try to keep the grammar coming for you.  Specifically, what are you looking for?  Please let us know.

Hey Jack and Raminta, this is Nicolas, Iâm calling from the Netherlands, but Iâm originally from Colombia, I just wanted to tell you that your lessons have been very, very helpful.  Iâm learning Lithuanian because I have a girlfriend from thereâand I basically wanted to learn her language which is proving very difficult for now but your lessons have been very, very helpful.  I was wondering if maybe you could help with some of the grammar sheets, Iâm only starting your lessons but itâs probably one of the hardest things Iâve ever had to learn in Lithuanian.  So, if you could upload some of the basic grammar stuff, or more advanced grammar if you want to, thatâd be great and of course you can use this feedback in your show.  Thank you very much and I hope weâll get to talk to you again, bye bye.

Sveiki, aÅ AgnÄ.
Today we will try to work a little bit on the pronunciation of Lithuanian "dvibalsiai" - diphthongs.

I know a lot of students are struggling with this, so let's practice.

There are nine dvibalsiai in Lithuanian:
ai, au, ei, eu, ie, oi, ou, uo, ui,

let's try to repeat each of them slowly:
ai or ai - if the stress is on the letter a, it sounds like in mine,  - laimÄ, baimÄ, kailis, laiÅkas

If the stress is on the letter i, it sounds like this: vaikas, baigti, KlaipÄda, laikas
(letter l has to be pronounced hard) KlaipÄda, not KleipÄda, laikas, not leikas.

the second diphthongâ
au or au - if the stress is on the letter a, it sounds like in house,  - aura, auksas, apgaulÄ, pasaulis 
if the stress is on the letter u, it sounds like in own, - aukuras, paukÅtis, laukas, prausti
 
the third diphthongâ
ei - if the stress is on the letter e, it sounds like this - eibÄ, meilÄ, leisti, paveikslas,
if the stress is on the letter i, it sounds like in game, - eiti, sveikas, keleivis, ateivis

the next oneâ
eu - I think we have no English example for this :) â but in Lithuanian it sounds like Europa, euras, eukaliptas, eutanazija

ie - like in theater - pieva, vienas, miestas, Dievas

oi - like in boy - oi, boikotas

ou - like in home - klounas, Åou

uo - about the same as in watch... - uodas, duona, Åuo, duoti

ui - like in ruin - muilas, buivolas, luitas, muitas

Congratulations, you went through all the nine diphthongs.

So let's repeat all of them once more:
ai or ai, au or au, ei or ei, eu, ie, oi, ou, uo, ui.

Sometimes you can find three vowels in one place, starting with -i-: iai, iau, but it could be helpful for you to know, that "iai" is pronounced almost the same as "ei", and iau - as "eu":

for exampleâ
graÅiai, meiliai, graÅiau, meiliau.

That's it for today :)  Enjoy practicing :)

MÄgti â to like

Hi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

According to Wikipedia, Lithuania's special animals include the wolf (vilkas) and the bear (lokys). According to a popular legend, an iron wolf in Gediminas' dream encouraged the Grand Duke to establish Vilnius and make the city his capital. The Iron Wolf Mechanised Infantry Brigade (motorizuotoji pÄstininkÅ brigada 'GeleÅinis vilkas') is now the core unit of the Lithuanian Army. The bear is an ancient symbol of Åemaitija, one of the regions of Lithuania, and appears in the coat of arms of Åiauliai district as well. An elk is shown in the Lazdijai district municipality coat of arms.

Today weâll learn another way to say, for example, âI like Lithuaniaâ using a different verb â mÄgti. 

I like Lithuania             man patinka Lietuva
I like Lithuania             aÅ mÄgstu LietuvÄ

So, you could say it either way?  Man patinka would be more common.  AÅ mÄgstu â kind of strange.

Oh, then we need a different example.  MÄgstu LietuvÄ, not a good idea.  What would you say is a good example?  Man patinka ir aÅ mÄgstu for the same thing?  Aha, man patinkaâkava?  Yeah, man patinka kava, aÅ mÄgstu kavÄ.  Right, okay.

Today weâll learn another way to say, for example, âI like coffeeâ using a different verb â mÄgti. 

I like coffee                 man patinka kava
I like coffee                 aÅ mÄgstu kavÄ

The difference between the verbs patikti and mÄgti is that patikti is not a strong liking of something.  MÄgti expresses a deeper emotion.  When you use mÄgti youâre saying you deeply like something.  MÄgti is a transitive verb so we decline the object of the sentence using the accusative case or galininkas.  NemÄgti declines using the genitive case or kilmininkas.

The verb mÄgti is always used with accusative.  AÅ mÄgstu kriauÅÄ â I like the pear.
If we donât like something we use genitive. AÅ nemÄgstu kriauÅÄs â I donât like the pear.

praÅom pakartoti, please repeatâ

According to the Wikipedia page, List of Lithuanian Gods; Teliavelis was a powerful smith who made the sun and threw it into the sky. This myth survived in folk tales up to the beginning of 20th century.

In the last few episodes we learned how to use the accusative plural and genitive plural in conjunction with a transitive verb â valgyti â to eat.  But, we only did masculine nouns.

Today weâll use some feminine nouns.  Feminine nouns are declined in the plural accusative like this:

words that end in âa change to âas
words that end in âÄ change to âes

now letâs go over some examplesâ

a carrot                                      morka
carrots                                       morkos
I am eating a carrot                     aÅ valgau morkÄ
I eat the carrots                           aÅ valgau morkas
I am not eating a carrot                aÅ nevalgau morkos
I am not eating the carrots            aÅ nevalgau morkÅ

a sausage                                   deÅra
sausages                                    deÅros
you are eating a sausage (tu)        tu valgai deÅrÄ
you eat the sausages                   valgai deÅras
you are not eating a sausage        nevalgai deÅros
you do not eat the sausages         nevalgai deÅrÅ

a pizza                                       pica
pizzas                                        picos
they are eating a pizza                 jie valgo picÄ
they eat the pizzas                       jie valgo picas
they are not eating a pizza           jie nevalgo picos
they are not eating the pizzas       jie nevalgo picÅ

a potato                                      bulvÄ
potatoes                                     bulvÄs
he is eating a potato                     jis valgo bulvÄ
he is eating the potatoes               jis valgo bulves
he is not eating a potato               jis nevalgo bulvÄs
he is not eating the potatoes         jis nevalgo bulviÅ

a vegetable                                 darÅovÄ
vegetables                                  darÅovÄs
she is eating a vegetable               ji valgo darÅovÄ
she eats vegetables                      ji valgo darÅoves
she is not eating a vegetable         ji nevalgo darÅovÄs
she is not eating the vegetables     ji nevalgo darÅoviÅ

(now a conversation on whether or not people should eat squirrels - voverÄs)

keep in mind when you say aÅ valgau, youâre saying I eat or I am eating, jis valgo, he eats or he is eating, mes valgome, we eat or we are eating.

Also, if this all seems difficult, donât worry, we plan to do hundreds or even thousands of examples using many, many verbs to make this easier for you.

Puiku!  Excellent!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!

Sveiki, aÅ AgnÄ iÅ Vilniaus.  Hi, Iâm AgnÄ from Vilnius.  Today I will share with you some interesting phrases you can use with your Lithuanian friends.  If you're hungry just tell your friend, aÅ alkanas kaip vilkas or aÅ alkanas kaip Åuo.

alkanas or alkana mean hungry

vilkas is a wolf and Åuo is a dog

let's say it one time slowly
 
aÅ alkanas kaip vilkas
aÅ alkanas kaip vilkas â I am as hungry as a wolf
 
aÅ alkanas kaip Åuo
aÅ alkanas kaip Åuo - I'm as hungry as a dog

but only a male would say alkanas, let's say it at normal speed, repeat after me
 
aÅ alkanas kaip vilkas
 
aÅ alkanas kaip Åuo
 
and a female would say,
 
aÅ alkana kaip vilkas
 
aÅ alkana kaip Åuo

aÅ alkana kaip vilkas

aÅ alkanas kaip Åuo
 
After you say that your Lithuanian friend will know it's time to get something to eat.
 
I hope you had fun today with these. I'm AgnÄ and I'll see you next week!  Iki!

Hi there, Iâm Raminta, hi there, Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

According to the free encyclopedia Wikipedia, a pre-Christian Lithuanian tradition of the summer equinox was a time of great festivals.  The festivities included singing songs and dancing until sunset.  Old stories were told and at midnight Lithuanians would search the forests for the magic fern blossom.  People would jump over fires and in the morning the midsummer sun was greeted with a face washing ceremony using the morning dew.  Young girls would float flower wreaths on the water of a river or lake.

Rasa is the Lithuanian word for dew and this annual festival was known as Rasos â the Dew Festival.  After the arrival of Christianity the day was renamed JoninÄs.

Todayâs episode will basically mirror the last episode covering valgyti but this will be nevalgyti â to not eat.  When you use a transitive verb the object of the sentence is declined using the accusative case or galininkas.  For example, I eat the banana.  Banana is the object that receives the action of the verb, to eat.  So, banana is declined using galininkas.  The object that receives the action of a negated verb is declined using kilmininkas or the genitive case. 

The genitive singular and genitive plural were covered in episodes 0022, 0030, 0031, 0033, 0037, 0039, and 0050.

now letâs conjugate nevalgyti â to not eat

I do not eat                         aÅ nevalgau
you do not eat (tu)               tu nevalgai
he does not eat                    jis nevalgo
she does not eat                   ji nevalgo
we do not eat                       mes nevalgome
you do not eat (jÅs)              jÅs nevalgote
you all do not eat                  jÅs nevalgote
they do not eat                     jie nevalgo
they do not eat (all females)   jos nevalgo

now letâs make some sentences using nevalgyti.

a banana                                bananas
the bananas                            bananai
Iâm eating a banana                aÅ valgau bananÄ
Iâm eating the bananas            aÅ valgau bananus
Iâm not eating a banana           aÅ nevalgau banano
Iâm not eating the bananas       aÅ nevalgau bananÅ

Hi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today weâre in the month of August which in Lithuanian is rugpjÅtis.

Lietuvos zoologijos sodas is the only zoo in Lithuania.  Itâs located in Kaunas and it has over 2,000 animals and 270 species. 

doughnut           spurga
bear                  lokys

According to Radio Vilnius & Current Affairs of February 2008, a woman who was in charge of the animal cages was attacked by a bear that had escaped.  Her screams attracted the attention of a man who was in the parking lot and he scared the 70 kilo or 154 pound bear off.  The woman was hospitalized.

In early February a zookeeper was gored by a musk ox.  The manâs life couldnât be saved. 

According to the Associated Press back in May of 2007 three university students climbed into a giraffeâs pen at night.  The giraffe defended itself and stomped on 22 year-old Ruta GreiÄiutÄ, breaking her nose and collarbone.

---

Back in episode 0059 we introduced the accusative case or galininkas.  Today weâll start in on the plural accusative or accusative plural.

To do this letâs introduce a new verb â valgyti â to eat.  When you use a transitive verb the object of the sentence is declined using the accusative case or galininkas.  For example, I eat the banana.  Banana is a singular object that receives the action of the verb, to eat.  So, banana is declined using galininkas.  You know the verb is transitive when you see the object receives the action of the verb.  I open the window â the object, window is receiving the action of the verb, to open.  Sonata drives the car.  The object â the car is receiving the action of the verb, to drive.

now letâs conjugate valgyti â to eat

I eat                           aÅ valgau
you eat (tu)                 tu valgai
he eats                        jis valgo
she eats                      ji valgo
we eat                        mes valgome
you eat (jÅs)               jÅs valgote
you all eat                  jÅs valgote
they eat (jie)               jie valgo
they eat (jos                jos valgo

Weâve already gone over the accusative singular in previous episodes.  Iâm eating an egg is the accusative singular.  Iâm eating a single egg.  Iâm eating one egg.  The egg is the object that receives the action of the verb â to eat.

Iâm eating the eggs or Iâm eating two eggs is the accusative plural.  The plural object â eggs â are receiving the action of the verb â to eat.

In this episode weâll focus on the accusative plural such as, Iâm eating eggs or heâs eating mushrooms.  Here are some of the plural accusative endings.  Today weâre going to do only masculine nouns.  Words that end inâ

-as change to âus
-is changes to âius
-ys changes to âius
-us changes to âus
-ius changes to âius
-uo changes to âenis

Now letâs make some sentences using valgyti.  Keep in mind that in Lithuanian to say aÅ valgau can mean I eat or I am eating, tu eini, you walk or you are walking.

a banana                                    bananas
bananas                                     bananai
the bananas                                bananai
Iâm eating a banana                     aÅ valgau bananÄ
Iâm eating the bananas                 aÅ valgau bananus

Some say Lithuanian is hard.  Hmmm.  Donât worry if this episode seems difficult.  Assuming we keep these podcasts coming for thousands of episodes, we plan to do a single episode for every new verb we introduce.  Of course, there are thousands of verbs to cover so youâll get tons of practice just like here with the verb valgyti.

a mushroom                                 grybas
the mushrooms                             grybai
are you eating a mushroom?          ar tu valgai grybÄ?
are you eating mushrooms?           ar valgai grybus?

Attention!  DÄmesio!  Something else to keep in mind when conjugating any verb.  You donât need to say âaÅ valgauâ since valgau makes - aÅ - obvious.  You can just say, valgau.  The word aÅ is not necessary unless you want to use it for emphasis.  Same goes for tu valgai, âtuâ isnât necessary â you can simply say, âvalgai,â tu is understood.  Valgome is the same, you donât need to say mes.  Valgote is also the same, you donât need to say jÅs.  In these examples the pronoun is unnecessary.

an egg                                         kiauÅinis
the eggs                                       kiauÅiniai
he is eating an egg                         jis valgo kiauÅinÄ
he is eating eggs                            jis valgo kiauÅinius

a sandwich or hamburger               sumuÅtinis
the sandwiches or hamburgers        sumuÅtiniai
she is eating a sandwich                 ji valgo sumuÅtinÄ
sheâs eating hamburgers                 ji valgo sumuÅtinius

an apple                                       obuolys
the apples                                     obuoliai
we are eating an apple                   mes valgome obuolÄ
we are eating the apples                 mes valgome obuolius

a crab                                          krabas
crabs                                           krabai
are you eating a crab?                   ar jÅs valgote krabÄ?
are you eating crabs?                     ar jÅs valgote krabus?

an eel                                          ungurys
the eels                                        unguriai
are you all eating an eel?                ar jÅs valgote ungurÄ?
are you all eating eels?                   ar jÅs valgote ungurius?
 
a perch                                        eÅerys
the perch (plural)                          eÅeriai
are they eating a perch?                 ar jos valgo eÅerÄ?
are they are eating perch? (plural)   ar jos valgo eÅerius?

The StelmuÅÄ Oak or in Lithuanian; StelmuÅÄs ÄÅuolas is an oak tree which is growing in the former StelmuÅÄ Manor Park. The oak reaches 23 meters in height and only side branches remain alive. It is believed to be at least 1,500 years old, possibly, as many as 2,000 years old; this makes it the oldest oak in Lithuania and one of the oldest in Europe. However, exact measurements of age are difficult as the inner part of the trunk has been removed. The oak is a nature heritage object in Lithuania and is the best known tree in the country.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

This episode is based on a phone conversation Raminta and I had months ago but weâre only now getting around to putting it together.  First, here is the audio from the phone callâ

O mano diena buvo ilga, vaÅiavau Ä KlaipÄdÄ autobusu, ahhh...., turÄjau vieÅnagÄ KlaipÄdoje, aplankiau brolius, registravau maÅinÄ ir grÄÅau su maÅina Ä VilniÅ, pasiÄmiau iÅ draugÄs ÅunÄ, ir grÄÅau visa pavargus namo.

According to the free encyclopedia Wikipedia page, List of Cities in Lithuania, Lithuania has 103 cities.

The term city is defined by the Parliament of Lithuania as compact areas populated by more than 3,000 people of whom at least two thirds work in the industry or service sector.  Those settlements which have a population of less than 3,000 but historically had city status are still considered as towns.  Even smaller settlements or villages are called kaimas.  Often the official status is not clear and people refer to both towns and villages as gyvenvietÄ which in essence means, settlement.  Here are some words on this themeâ

vocabulary - Åodynas

city                   miestas
cities                 miestai
town                 miestelis
towns                miesteliai
village               kaimas
villages              kaimai
to live               gyventi
life                   gyvenimas
settlement         gyvenvietÄ
settlements        gyvenvietÄs

pradÄkime, letâs get started

Long ago we learned how to use the genitive case or kilmininkas in order to express where weâre from.  Iâm from Vilnius, aÅ iÅ Vilniaus, sheâs from KlaipÄda, ji yra iÅ KlaipÄdos.  Now we know how to use the genitive plural.  The fourth largest city in Lithuania is Åiauliai.  Åiauliai, like many cities in Lithuania has a plural name.  Here are some examplesâ

Åiauliai
Trakai
Druskininkai
MaÅeikiai
KÄdainiai
BirÅai
Raseiniai
AnykÅÄiai
Prienai
Zarasai
MolÄtai
ÅvenÄionÄliai
Åakiai
ÅalÄininkai

iÅ kur, translates as âfrom where.â

where are you from?        iÅ kur jÅs esate?
where are you from?        iÅ kur tu esi?
where is he from?            iÅ kur jis yra?
where is she from?           iÅ kur ji yra?
where are you all from?    iÅ kur jÅs esate?
where are they from?       iÅ kur jie yra?
where are they from?       iÅ kur jos yra?

Now letâs go over some examples of people saying, Iâm from Åiauliai, Iâm from Druskininkai, or theyâre from Trakai, etcetera.

Where are you from?                         iÅ kur tu esi?
Iâm from Åiauliai                                aÅ iÅ ÅiauliÅ
Where are you from?                         iÅ kur tu esi?
Iâm from Trakai                                 aÅ iÅ TrakÅ
Where are you from?                         aÅ kur jÅs esate?
Iâm from Druskininkai                       aÅ iÅ DruskininkÅ
Where are you from?                        iÅ kur jÅs esate?
Iâm from MaÅeikiai                           aÅ iÅ MaÅeikiÅ
Where is he from?                             iÅ kur jis yra?
Heâs from KÄdainiai                          jis yra iÅ KÄdainiÅ
Where is she from?                           iÅ kur ji yra?
Sheâs from BirÅai                              ji yra iÅ BirÅÅ
Where are you all from?                    iÅ kur jÅs esate?
Sorry, where are we from?                atleiskite, iÅ kur mes esame?
Yes, where are you all from, please?  taip, iÅ kur jÅs esate, praÅom?
Oh, weâre from Raseiniai                  o, mes esame iÅ RaseiniÅ
Where are they from?                       iÅ kur jie yra?
Theyâre from AnykÅÄiai                    jie yra iÅ AnykÅÄiÅ
Where are they from?                       iÅ kur jos yra?
Theyâre from Prienai                        jie yra iÅ PrienÅ
Where are you from?                       iÅ kur jÅs esate?
Iâm from Zarasai                             aÅ iÅ ZarasÅ
Where are you from?                       iÅ kur jÅs esate?
Iâm from MolÄtai                             aÅ iÅ MolÄtÅ
Where are you from?                       iÅ kur jÅs esate?
Iâm from ÅvenÄionÄliai                     aÅ iÅ ÅvenÄionÄliÅ
Where are you from?                       iÅ kur jÅs esate?
Iâm from Åakiai                               aÅ iÅ ÅakiÅ
Where are you from?                       iÅ kur jÅs esate?

Hereâs some food for thought.  I remind people not to refer to Lithuania as a former part of the Soviet Union.  Calling Lithuania a nation that was once part of the Soviet Union or as the former Soviet Republic Lithuania sounds like Lithuania and Russia went through an amical divorce.  Itâs like saying to a Frenchman or Dutchman, hey, arenât you guys formerly part of the Nazi Empire?  Nah, donât do it, it wonât make you any new friends.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

In past episodes we practiced a lot of possession using the genitive case or kilmininkas such as the wifeâs name, Åmonos vardas, or EglÄâs husband, EglÄs vyras.

Today weâll tackle the genitive in the plural such as the womenâs restroom, or the restroom of many women, the countriesâ history, as in the history of many countries, the car factory, or the factory which has many cars. Youâll be happy to know itâs easily learned with little study.  On this episode weâll focus on feminine nouns.

feminine nouns end like thisâ

-a changes to âÅ
-Ä changes to âiÅ
-is changes to âÅ
-uo changes to âerÅ
and
-Ä (as in duktÄ) changes to -erÅ

The most important thing to remember here is that the plural genitive always ends in -Å

AgnÄ says the idea today is to repeat a sentence that has many similar hard to pronounce sounds as quickly as you can.  In English these are called tongue-twisters.

Thanks for sending us this contribution Agne!  It means a lot to us that youâre helping us out.  Take it away, Agne!

How quickly could you say that?

Geri vyrai geroj girioj gerÄ girÄ gÄrÄ gerdami gyrÄ
The good men in a big good forest were drinking delicious kvass (Lithuanian national drink)

Geri vyrai geroj girioj gerÄ girÄ gÄrÄ gerdami gyrÄ

Itâs easy, isnât it?  But, what about that?

ÅeÅios ÅÄsys su ÅeÅiais ÅÄsyÄiais
Six (female) geese with six goslings

Donât worry if you donât succeed the first time because most Lithuanians will say it like thatâ

Itâs okay, you need just some more practice and soon you will be able to say it like this:

ÅeÅios ÅÄsys su ÅeÅiais ÅÄsyÄiais

Good luck!

PraÅom, Mylimoji!  Hi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Ramintaâs husband, Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today weâre in the month of July which in Lithuanian is Liepa.

An old Lithuanian tradition says if you light anything with a candle, a sailor dies.   Why?  Long ago in winter months sailors didnât have much of an income and some sold matches to make ends meet.  So, if you light something with a candle, youâre cheating a poor sailor out of his paycheck.

Have you ever heard of this, Dear?

pradÄkime, letâs get started

In past episodes we practiced a lot of possession using the genitive case or kilmininkas such as the manâs name, vyro vardas or the dogâs water, Åuns vanduo.

Today weâll tackle the genitive in the plural such as the childrenâs dog, or a dog which belongs to many children, a childrenâs doctor, or a doctor who treats many children, a childrenâs book, the menâs restroom, the womenâs team, womenâs health.

Youâll be happy to know itâs easily learned with little study.  On this episode weâll focus on masculine nouns, feminine nouns on a later episode.
Masculine nouns end like thisâ

-as changes to âÅ
-is changes to âiÅ
-ys changes to âiÅ
-us changes to âÅ
-ius changes to âiÅ
and
-uo changes to âenÅ

The most important thing to remember here is that the plural genitive always ends in -Å
Before we get started, hereâs some new vocabulary. 
praÅom pakartotiâ

vocabulary â Åodynas
when doing Åodynas â once slow, once normal speed
(here Raminta accidently reads episode notes not meant for the audience)

I forgot to mention on the last episode that we now have free pdf files for every episode of Lithuanian Out Loud on our blogpage.  A pdf file is simply a downloadable print version of our programs.  You can go to the page and download them or get them automatically using iTunes.  If you donât have iTunes on your computer you should get it, itâs completely free.

One our listeners is Jim from Delaware.  Jim has created a chat room using Skype and itâs called "Learning to speak Lithuanian for English speakers.â  From what I understand this is a tool that beginner, intermediate and advanced speakers can use to practice Lithuanian.  Jim is inviting native speakers to join the chat room if they like.  Weâll post the web address of Jimâs chat room on the Lithuanian Out Loud blogpage.  Good luck with your project, Jim!

Today we have something special for our listeners.  Along with this episode Iâll include a downloadable electronic book that Andrius Repsys of Åiauliai, Lithuania is offering to everyone for free.  This is an awesome professional looking book that you can download to your computer, open and view.  Itâs got tons of interesting facts about Lithuania including pictures, graphics and text.  You have to download it and look at it, you wonât regret taking the time.  Andrius Repsys is an artist from www.qhoto.net and not only has he done a fantastic job with his book, he was kind enough to give Lithuanian Out Loud some free advertising by placing our name on each page of his book.  Labai aÄiÅ, Andriau!  That was a kind gesture.

Finally, we have some listeners who are traveling in Lithuania and some who live there.  Weâd like to invite all of you to post your experiences on the Lithuanian Out Loud blogpage.  Have you had any interesting experiences?  Good or bad, doesnât matter.  Have you learned any interesting words or phrases?  How are your travels?  As expected?  Better?  Worse?  Just post your comments on the blogpage.  Our community would love to read them. Alright, now hereâs AgnÄ iÅ Vilniaus with an unbelieveable contribution!  Take it away Agne!

Hello, I am AgnÄ.  Even if you donât know Lithuanian well, this song could be just the right thing for you to start singing Lithuanian.  Because this song has two voices and one of them is really, really, really simple.  It would be like thisâ

Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa

Actually, this tumbararasa doesnât mean anything.  Itâs just made to keep the rhythm.  Letâs repeat once moreâ

Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa

Now, you will continue like this and I will add another voice, okay, so you are continuing this fragment of tumbararasa and let Lithuanians do the rest.  Just totally relax, okay?  Letâs start!

Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa (etcetera)
 
Äjo senis lauko arti, pasiÄmÄs pypkÄ karÄiÄ
     An old man was going to sow a field, taking a bitter tobacco-pipe
Äjo senis lauko arti, pasiÄmÄs pypkÄ karÄiÄ
     An old man was going to sow a field, taking a bitter tobacco-pipe

and after this we need to learn the second part of this song which would be like thisâ

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Ready to repeat?  Okay, letâs startâone, two, threeâ

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Oi lylia also means nothing, no meaning, but dainuok linksmai, dainuoti â to sing and linksmai â cheerfully, joyfully.  So, dainuok linksmai would be, sing cheerfully.

So, now letâs put together all the song.  Just mixing first part, second part, first part, second part and see what happens.  Ready!  Letâs go!

Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa
Tumba tumbararasa (etcetera)

Äjo senis lauko arti, pasiÄmÄs pypkÄ karÄiÄ
     An old man was going to sow a field, taking a bitter tobacco-pipe

     An old man was going to sow a field, taking a bitter tobacco-pipe

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Äjo boba tuo keleliu, rado pypkÄ ant kelmelio
     An old woman was going the same way and found a pipe on a stump (diminutive form)
Äjo boba tuo keleliu, rado pypkÄ ant kelmelio
     An old woman was going the same way and found a pipe on a stump (diminutive form)

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Oi tu boba nekvailioki, man pypkutÄ atiduoki
     Oh, you, old woman, don't tomfool, give me back my tobacco-pipe (diminutive form)
Oi tu boba nekvailioki, man pypkutÄ atiduoki
     Oh, you, old woman, don't tomfool, give me back my tobacco-pipe (diminutive form)

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

Oi lylia oi lylia, oi lylia oi lylia
Oi lylia oi lylia, dainuok linksmai

That was super Agne!  What an awesome performance!  Thank you for taking the time to record this, transcribe it for us, send it to us and allow us to share it with the world.  Your contribution is priceless!  AÄiÅ milijonÄ kartÅ.  Thanks a million times.

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today weâre in the month of July which in Lithuanian is liepa.

Okay, I think we all agree that Lithuania is not one of the largest nations in the world.  But, the next time youâre tempted to say Lithuania is a small country, think about this.  Lithuania is larger than Denmark.  Itâs bigger than Taiwan, Netherlands, and Belgium.  So, whenever I hear anyone mention Lithuania is small, I just tell them itâs not that small.  Itâs bigger than Switzerland.

Today weâll learn a new declensionâ

PradÄkime, letâs get started!

Oh!  Good idea, we should get started first!

Today weâll learn a new declension.  Itâs called the vocative or Åauksmininkas.  Åaukti is the verb, to shout.  Åauksmininkas is the declension we use when weâre shouting at someone, when weâre speaking to someone, when weâre addressing someone or when we just want to get their attention.

Åauksmininkas is not difficult.  The declensions are simple, except for words that end in âas.  So, weâll start with the words that end in âas and the rest will be easy.

Romas!                                            Romai!
Dominykas!                                      Dominykai!
Mindaugas, come here!                      Mindaugai, ateik Äia!
Vladas, stay healthy!                          Vladai, bÅk sveikas!

Vladas, Vladas, I like this word Vladas.  Pretty name!  But, I donât think itâs Lithuanian.  Vladas - Vladimir, it seems â Russian.

If a personâs first or last name ends in âas, then âas changes to âai.

Jonas, look there!                              Jonai, ÅiÅrÄkite ten!
Vytautas, stop buzzing!                      Vytautai, nustok zysti!  (stop bothering)
Good morning Algirdas!                     Labas rytas Algirdai!
Good evening ÄÅuolas!                      Labas vakaras ÄÅuolai!

If a noun, which is not somebodyâs name ends in âas, it changes to âe.  For example, the word for sir or mister is ponas. 

mister                                               ponas
sir                                                     ponas

Letâs get his attention.

mister!                                              pone!
thank you, sir!                                   aÄiÅ, pone!

The word for father is tÄvas.

father                                                tÄvas
Happy birthday, Father!                      Su gimimo diena, TÄve!
Sweet dreams, Father!                        SaldÅiÅ sapnÅ, TÄve!
Father!  I love you!  TÄve!                  AÅ tave myliu!

Technically, you could talk to a mountain if you like.

Good morning, Mountain! Labas rytas, Kalne!

Previously we went over professions such as padÄjÄjas - assistant or gydytojas â doctor.  If a noun ends with a suffix such as âtojas or âÄjas then this suffix changes to âtojau and âÄjau.

Doctor, I feel bad                              Gydytojau, aÅ jauÄiuosi blogai
Doctor, look here                              Gydytojau, ÅiÅrÄkite Äia
Driver, where is the restaurant?           Vairuotojau, kur restoranas?
Driver, are you from Vilnius?              Vairuotojau, ar jÅs esate iÅ Vilniaus?

If a word ends in a diminutive such as âukas or âiukas as in the diminutive names Justukas or Petriukas, just drop the âas.

Justukas!                                           Justuk!
Petriukas!                                          Petriuk!

So, there are the words that end in âas.  Big job!  All the rest are simple.

Here are the rest of the masculine wordsâ

If a word ends in âis the suffix changes to -i!
If a word ends in âys the suffix changes to -y!
If a word ends in âus the suffix changes to -au!
If a word ends in âuo the suffix changes to -enie!

Jurgis!                                              Jurgi!
Karolis!                                            Karoli!
Åaltys!                                              Åalty!
Andrius!                                            Andriau!
Antonijus!                                         Antonijau!

There arenât many words that end in âuo but here are threeâ

Person! âas in asmuo                         Asmenie!
Stone! âas in akmuo                          Akmenie!
Dog! âas in Åuo                                 Åunie!

The feminine nouns are extremely easy.

If a word ends in âa the suffix changes to -a!
If a word ends in âÄ the suffix changes to -e!
If a word ends in âis the suffix changes to -ie!
If a word ends in âuo the suffix changes to -erie!
Sesuo is the only feminine word which ends in -uo

Mrs. MalinauskienÄ!                          Ponia Malinauskiene!
Good morning, madame                     Labas rytas, ponia
Raminta, Iâm hungry                          Raminta, aÅ alkanas
AgnÄ, thanks for the help                    Agne, aÄiÅ uÅ pagalbÄ
DovilÄ, Iâm cold                                 Dovile, man Åalta

ÅÄsis is the word for goose.  Antis is the word for a duck.  Weâll use these two words here since theyâre unusual.  They end in the letter âsâ but they are feminine words.

Go away goose!                                 Eik Åalin ÅÄsie!
Duck!  Eat a little bread!                     Antie! Valgyk truputÄ duonos!
Sister, does he speak Lithuanian?         Seserie, ar jis kalba lietuviÅkai?
Sister, where is Karolis?                      Seserie kur yra Karolis?

Puiku!  Excellent!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!

Remember the plug Bayram of Turkey gave us recently?  Well, he just sent me an email.  He was in Vilnius today in a coffee shop working on his computer and he heard a familiar voice.  He went up to the woman and asked her some questions and then gave her a big hug.  Raminta was really surprised someone had recognized her voice while she was chatting with a friend in a Vilnius coffee shop.  What a coincidence!  Thanks for the email Bayram!

Today we have a special guest on the show.  Someone who might be contributing something to Lithuanian Out Loud on a regular basis for a long time to come â I hope.  So, here is AgnÄ from Vilnius or AgnÄ iÅ Vilniaus and her first contribution to the show.

"Äiau braÅke, susitiksim kompote"

AgnÄ says this phrase is used by a lot by children in Lithuania to say goodbye.  The literal translation isnât really important, itâs better to learn this as a whole phrase, but for those of you who are curious it means, "goodbye, strawberry, see you in kompotas."  Kompotas is a Lithuanian stewed fruit drink â very yummy.

Here is it again, slowlyâ

Äiau braÅke, susitiksim kompote

Äiau braÅke, susitiksim kompote

Äiau braÅke, susitiksim kompote

Äiau braÅke, susitiksim kompote

Again, AgnÄ says children use this a lot but adults use it as a joke or in order to sound funny.  Try it on your Lithuanian friends.

AgnÄ has a few hundred ideas on future contributions to the show and we love having her enthusiasm in our community.  Thanks a million, Agne and welcome to the program!  Itâs super having you here with us.

Okay, enough notes, letâs get on with todayâs episode, enjoy!

Hi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. 

Today weâre in a new month!  July was named for Julius Caesar or Julijus Cezaris who was born in this month.  In Lithuanian this month is liepa, the linden tree, which flowers during this month.  The flowers scent the air, are used to make herbal teas and attract honeybees.  Pretty tree!

According to Wikipedia, AustÄja is the ancient Lithuanian household goddess of bees. AustÄja is a goddess of fertility, brides, and growing families. AustÄja is the wife of Bubilas.

Bubilas is the household god of bees.  People may have sacrificed honey to Bubilas.  They believed that doing so would make bees swarm better.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

Today letâs talk about work.  Hereâs a Lithuanian proverb:

Kas skaito ir raÅo, tas duonos nepraÅo.  He who learns to read and write will not beg for bread.

Most of the time a personâs job has the suffix âtojas or âtoja, âÄjas or âÄja, and âininkas or âininkÄ.

Here weâll list some infinitive verbs and then weâll list the job title that follows it.

to work                      dirbti
a male worker             darbininkas
a female worker          darbininkÄ
to farm                       Åkininkauti
a male farmer             Åkininkas
a female farmer          ÅkininkÄ
to sing                        dainuoti
a male singer               dainininkas
a female singer            dainininkÄ
to cure                       gydyti
a male doctor              gydytojas
a female doctor           gydytoja
to drive                       vairuoti
a male driver               vairuotojas
a female driver            vairuotoja
to write                       raÅyti
a male writer               raÅytojas
a female writer            raÅytoja
to help                        padÄti
a male assistant            padÄjÄjas
a female assistant         padÄjÄja
to give or to serve        paduoti
a male waiter               padavÄjas
a female waiter             padavÄja
to sell                          parduoti
a salesman                   pardavÄjas
a saleswoman               pardavÄja

The last three professions we purposely put together because they look and sound so similar.  Itâs  worth the effort to memorize these.

padÄjÄjas
padavÄjas
pardavÄjas

padÄjÄja
padavÄja
pardavÄja

Now some job titles that donât follow these rulesâ

to lead                              vadovauti
a male manager                 vadovas
a female manager              vadovÄ
to be a lawyer or barrister   advokatauti
a male lawyer or barrister   advokatas
a female lawyer/attorney     advokatÄ
to control                           kontroliuoti
a male controller                 kontrolierius
a female controller              kontrolierÄ
to direct                             direktoriauti
a male director                   direktorius
a female director                direktorÄ

Now, just before we finish, letâs combine some of these.  To do this we have to use kilmininkas.

a lawyerâs female assistant    advokato padÄjÄja
an attorneyâs male assistant   advokato padÄjÄjas
a directorâs female assistant   direktoriaus padÄjÄja
a directorâs male assistant      direktoriaus padÄjÄjas

So, wonder why we do it all for free?  Two major reasons, one, we started the series as a tool for me to learn Lithuanian â and I still need to learn it.  The second reason is our community of listeners and all of your comments, plugs, emails, and new listeners joining the community every day.  Weâve had over 120,000 total downloads and we are breaking 1,500 downloads a day.  What can we say?  You guys are super.  You are one of the major reasons why we continue.  Without you, Lithuanian Out Loud wouldnât exist.  We know you depend on us and so we feel a responsibility to keep the episodes coming.  How could we possibly leave you hanging?  Thanks for being there for us.

So, Iâd like to thank all of you for listening and for spending time with us.  Above all, I want to thank the most perfect, the most intelligent, the most beautiful, engaging, interesting, the greatest woman Iâve ever met in my life, my wife Raminta.  Thank you honey, you leave me breathless.

Now, hereâs another street recording asking passers-by about Lithuania.  My apologies for the way this one was recorded.  When I found out both guys here were from Spanish speaking countries I couldnât help myself and I started to speak Spanish.  Later, I regretted doing that since most of our community probably doesnât speak Spanish.  But, if you listen closely youâll be able to make out these guys know the answers to all three questions.  Where is Lithuania?  What language do they speak there? What is the capital city?

Great! Now, on with episode number 100 which Raminta and I recorded a few weeks ago.  This episode covers the verbs gyventi and negyventi and it will be the pattern weâll follow for future verb introductions.  From here on out weâll introduce a new verb, weâll conjugate the verb, do many examples of the verb in sentences and weâll negate this verb with examples.  Then at the end weâll go over the imperative that we introduced in episode 99.  Now, letâs get started on the next 100 episodes and please, if you can, leave us a review on our iTunes page, we still donât have 50 yet!  Enjoy!

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

According to Wikipedia, the Geographical Center of Europe monument is located in Lithuania.  After an estimation of the boundaries of the continent of Europe in 1989 the French National Geographic Institute determined that the Geographic Center of Europe is located 26 kilometers north of its capital city, Vilnius, near the village of PurnuÅkÄs. A monument, composed by the sculptor Gediminas JokÅbonis and consisting of a column of white granite surmounted by a crown of stars, was erected at the location in 2004. This location is the only one listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the geographical center of Europe. 17 km away lies Europos Parkas, Open Air Museum of the Center of Europe, a sculpture park containing the world's largest sculpture made of TV sets, now partially collapsed.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

Today weâll go over the verb gyventi â to live.  In episodes 0008 through 0013 we went over some uses of gyventi.  Letâs dig into it some more, here are gyventi and negyventi conjugated in the present tense.

Lithuanian_Out_Loud_91-99_Notes.pdf

Did you know Lithuania once had a dictator?  At the end of World War One Lithuania was occupied by German soldiers.  Lithuania declared its independence in 1918 and they left.  In 1926 Antanas Smetona was one of the leaders of a military coup d'Ãtat.  Lithuanian soldiers removed the democratically elected government, put the most conservative Lithuanian party in power, placed Antanas Smetona in the presidentâs chair and he ruled Lithuania until it was invaded by the Soviet Union in 1940.

The dictatorship lasted for 14 years and all other political parties were outlawed.  When the Soviet Union invaded in 1940 at the beginning of World War II they claimed they were doing Lithuanians a favor by defeating fascism.

pradÄkime, letâs get started

Back in episode 0047 we learned two commands.  Kiss me! PabuÄiuok mane!  Hug me!  Apkabink mane!

Today weâll go over the imperative.  We use the imperative to tell people or animals to do something.  Such as, Look!  Sit down!  Come here!

This stuff isnât super difficult.  Start with the infinitive of the verb, chop off the âtâ â âi" or the â-tiâ at the end of the verb and add â-kâ or the Lithuanian letter âk.â

the verb dirbti, to work, changes to dirbk!
the verb Åokti, to dance, changes to Åok!
the verb ÅiÅrÄti, to look, changes to ÅiÅrÄk!

work!             dirbk!
dance!            Åok!
look!              ÅiÅrÄk!

dirbk!  Åok!  ÅiÅrÄk! are all examples of how to command an individual using the âtuâ form.  Weâd use this with a child, a close friend or an animal.  To command a group of people or to give a command in a more polite way, we use jÅs, we add âkite instead of just âk.

work!             dirbkite!
dance!            Åokite!
look!              ÅiÅrÄkite!

lastly, to give a command to a group that weâre a part of, as in âusâ or âwe,â we add ââkime .â

letâs work!       dirbkime!
letâs dance!      Åokime!
letâs look!        ÅiÅrÄkime!

Now, letâs practice with some examples.  First, letâs do the familiar or âtuâ form.  Weâll say the verb in English, then the infinitive in Lithuanian.  Then weâll give the command in English and you try to guess the command in Lithuanian.  Good luck!  SÄkmÄs!

to work               dirbti  
work!                  dirbk!
to dance              Åokti  
dance!                 Åok!
to jump                ÅokinÄti  
jump!                  ÅokinÄk!
to look                 ÅiÅrÄti  
look!                   ÅiÅrÄk!
to run                  bÄgti  
run!                     bÄk!
to do                   daryti  
do it!                   daryk!
to go                    eiti  
go!                      eik!
to come               ateiti  
come!                  ateik!
to take                  imti  
take it!                 imk!
to remain, to stay  likti  
stay healthy!         lik sveikas!
to wait                  palaukti  
wait!                    palauk!
to hurry                skubÄti  
hurry!                  skubÄk!
to shout                Åaukti  
shout!                   Åauk!
to bring                 atnÄÅti  
bring it!                atnÄÅk!
to sit                     atsisesti  
sit!                       atsisesk!

Now letâs give the same commands to a person using the âjÅsâ form which is also the form weâd use giving a command to a group of people.

work!                   dirbkite!
dance!                  Åokite!
jump!                   ÅokinÄkite!
look!                    ÅiÅrÄkite!

and of course, in normal conversation we can drop the tail end -e

look!                    ÅiÅrÄkit!
run!                      bÄkit!
do it!                    darykit!
go!                       eikit!
come!                   ateikit!
take it!                  imkit!
stay healthy!         likit sveikas!
wait!                    palaukit!
hurry!                  skubÄkit!
shout!                  Åaukit!
bring it!                atnÄÅkit!
sit down!              atsisÄskit!

Great!  Now letâs give a command to a group of people to which we belong.  These commands would be equivalent to, Letâs work! Letâs dance!  Letâs run!

letâs work!            dirbkime!
letâs dance!           Åokime!
letâs jump!            ÅokinÄme!
letâs look!             ÅiÅrÄkime!
letâs look!             ÅiÅrÄkim!
letâs run!               bÄkim!
letâs do it!             darykim!
letâs go!                eikim!
letâs take it!           imkim!
letâs wait!              palaukim!
letâs hurry!            skubÄkim!
letâs shout!            Åaukim!
letâs sit down!        atsisÄskim!
