Varinis Pinigas A Copper CoinHi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Photograph: AukÅtojas Hill, LithuaniaPhotographer: 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.

Lediniai Tiltai Icy BridgesHi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. English: Battle of Grunwald by Jan MatejkoLietuviÅ: Åalgirio mÅÅis Jano Mateikos paveikslasThe 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. --- Todayâs episode will be a continuation of the last episode on adjectives.  Today weâll essentially take the singular adjectives from the last episode and make them plural. the plural of âas changes to âi, the plural of -a changes to âos the plural of âus changes

Hey there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today we have a special recording that a listener sent us.  This is a story from Jonas who wanted to tell us about his days as a young man in 1969.  First we'll play his recording for you and then weâll translate it and break some of it down. Photograph: A windmill near DarbÄnai, LithuaniaPhotographer: Julius (Wikipedia) 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. high school                                       vidurinÄ mokyklabecause, due to, inasmuch                  kadangiwe went home because we were tired  iÅejome namo kadangi buvome pavargÄto pull                                               trauktito attract                                           patraukti, pritrauktito not attract                                     netrauktiSoviet times                                      sovietiniai laikaiin Soviet times                                  sovietiniais laikaiscompulsory                                       privalomasmilitary rank                                     karinis laipsnis military service                                  karinÄ tarnybamilitary oath                                      karinÄ priesaika work, service, job                              tarnybain the mood                                       nusiteikÄsto give                                              duotito surrender                                      atiduotisoviet                                               tarybinisthe army                                           kariuomenÄ, armijasoldier                                              kareivisa rule                                               taisyklÄcement                                             cementascement mixer                                    cemento maiÅyklÄ a mill                                                gamyklaa cement factory                               cemento gamyklain the cement factory                         cemento gamyklojea turning lathe                                   tekinimo staklÄs a system                                           santvarkarevenue, income                                pajamosto live                                               gyventito survive                                          pragyventiservice                                              prievolÄto do                                                atliktito fear                                              bijotito get into                                         pakliÅtisection, chapter, department              skyriusa sailor                                             jÅreivis, jÅrininkasthe then government                         tuometinÄ vyriausybÄ a workplace                                     darbovietÄto stage, to arrange                           surengtia farewell party                                iÅleistuvÄsamply, aplenty, richly                       gausiaito load up tables with tasty foods       nukrauti stalus skaniais valgiais strong, hard drinks                           svaigalaiamateur                                          mÄgÄjasto whirl                                           svaigtia plant pot                                       vazonasrelatives                                          giminÄsa few                                              keli, keletasa few friends                                   keli draugaito take part in an evening party          vakarotito fill up                                          prisivaiÅintito report                                          prisistatytimilitary                                           karinis 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!

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Photograph: Nemunas River near KryvicyPhotographer: Rahnieda (Wikipedia) 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 neuterthe neuter has no case and no numberyou use the neuter when youâre talking about something not identifiedyou donât combine nouns with neutral adjectives because nouns donât have a neutral formyouâll see what we mean as we go through the next few episodesthe plural of âas changes to âi, the plural of -a changes to âosbut on this episode weâre only concerned with the singular forms here are examples of âas and âasmall                         maÅas / maÅasoft                           minkÅtas / minkÅtahard                          kietas / kieta the neuter form of this group ends in âamaÅaminkÅtakieta the second group -us or âi has three genders â masculine, feminine and neuterthe neuter has no case and no numberthe plural of âus changes to âÅs, the plural of -i changes to âioson this episode weâre only concerned with the singular forms here are examples of âus and âiclean                         Åvarus / Åvaricheap                        pigus / pigiexpensive                  brangus / brangi the neuter form of this group ends in âu Åvarupigubrangu the third group -is or âÄ has only two genders â masculine and femininethis group doesnât have a neuter formthe plural of âis changes to âiai, the plural of -Ä changes to âÄs here are examples of âis and âÄicy                            ledinis / ledinÄsilky                          Åilkinis / ÅilkinÄsynthetic                    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. small     maÅas / maÅa a small dog                maÅas Åuoa small cat                 maÅas katinasa small house             maÅas namasa small car                 maÅas automobilisa small table              maÅas stalas a small country          maÅa Åalisa small boat               maÅa valtisa small ant                maÅa skruzdÄlÄa small fox                maÅa lapÄa small library           maÅa biblioteka neuter example:  how small!  kaip maÅa! -soft     minkÅtas / minkÅta a soft armchair           minkÅtas fotelisa soft bag                  minkÅtas maiÅelisa soft carpet               minkÅtas kilimasa soft cheese              minkÅtas sÅrisa soft rabbit               minkÅtas kiÅkis a soft sofa                 minkÅta sofaa soft blanket             minkÅta antklodÄa soft chair                minkÅta kÄdÄa soft bed                  minkÅta lovaa soft pillow               minkÅta pagalvÄ neuter example:  how soft!  kaip minkÅta! -hard     kietas / kieta a hard muffin             kietas keksasa hard cheese             kietas sÅrisa hard stone               kietas akmuoa hard armchair          kietas fotelisa hard bench              kietas suolas a hard sofa                 kieta sofaa hard chair                kieta kÄdÄa hard bed                  kieta lovaa hard pillow              kieta pagalvÄa hard bun                 kieta bandelÄ neuter example:  how hard it is to sit here!  kaip kieta Äia sÄdÄti! -clean     Åvarus / Åvari a clean beach             Åvarus pliaÅasa clean bowl               Åvarus dubuoa clean room              Åvarus kambarysa clean house             Åvarus namasa clean bedroom         Åvarus miegamasis a clean bathtub           Åvari voniaa clean kitchen           Åvari virtuvÄa clean stove              Åvari viryklÄa clean plate               Åvari lÄkÅtÄa clean saucer             Åvari lÄkÅtutÄ neuter example:  how clean it is in the house!  kaip Åvaru namuose! -cheap     pigus / pigi a cheap bicycle           pigus dviratisa cheap camera           pigus fotoaparatasa cheap overcoat        pigus paltasa cheap pen               pigus tuÅinukasa cheap ticket             pigus bilietas a cheap dress             pigi suknelÄa cheap blouse           pigi bliuzelÄa cheap jacket            pigi striukÄa cheap guitar             pigi gitaraa cheap handbag         pigi rankinÄ neuter example:  in this store everything is cheap - Åioje parduotuvÄje viskas pigu -icy     ledinis / ledinÄ an icy pond                ledinis tvenkinysan icy pool                 ledinis baseinasan icy drink                ledinis gÄrimasan icy lake                  ledinis eÅerasan icy bridge              ledinis tiltas an icy river                ledinÄ upÄan icy sea                  ledinÄ jÅraan icy street               ledinÄ gatvÄan icy puddle             ledinÄ balaan icy stairway           ledinÄ laiptinÄ neuter example:  there is none -silky     Åilkinis / ÅilkinÄ a silky skirt               Åilkinis sijonasa silky necktie           Åilkinis kaklaraiÅtisa silky sweater          Åilkinis megztinisa silky robe                Åilkinis chalatasa silky pillowcase       Åilkinis uÅvalkalas a silky dress               ÅilkinÄ suknelÄa silky blouse             ÅilkinÄ bliuzelÄa silky blanket            ÅilkinÄ antklodÄa silky sheet               ÅilkinÄ paklodÄa silky headscarf         ÅilkinÄ skarelÄ neuter example:  there is none -synthetic    sintetinis / sintetinÄ a synthetic chemical    sintetinis chemikalasa synthetic coat           sintetinis paltasa synthetic fur             sintetinis kailisa synthetic sweater      sintetinis megztinisa synthetic tie             sintetinis kaklaraiÅtis a synthetic blouse       sintetinÄ palaidinukÄa synthetic jacket        sintetinÄ striukÄa synthetic fabric        sintetinÄ medÅiagaa synthetic glove         sintetinÄs pirÅtinÄsa synthetic resin          sintetinÄ derva the adjective didelis is an oddball and it doesnât follow the normal rules -big, heavy, large    didelis / didelÄ a big noise                 didelis triukÅmasa big elephant            didelis dramblysa big man                  didelis vyrasa big mountain           didelis kalnasa big house                didelis namas a big structure           didelÄ struktÅraa big country             didelÄ Åalisa big sofa                  didelÄ sofaa big snowflake         didelÄ snaigÄa large book              didelÄ knyga Åaunuoliai!  Excellent!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!

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

Hi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Photograph: Vilnius, LithuaniaPhotographer: Marek Dziwior 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.

Photograph: Graduation Day Vilnius UniversityPhotographer: Alma Pater (Wikipedia) According to Radio Vilnius: News & Current AffairsLithuania has the third lowest birthrate in Europe and Lithuania makes the list of the ten nations worldwide with the lowest birthrates.  Naturally itâs difficult for parents to combine childcare with work and daycare isnât easy to find.  Lithuania has the longest maternity leave coverage in the world.  The childcare giver receives two years off work with full pay supplied by the Lithuanian government.

Hi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Photograph: Yotvingian ForestPhotographer: Przemyslaw 'Blueshade' Idzkiewicz 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. to be able (can)                galÄtiI can                               aÅ

Hi there, Iâm Raminta and Iâm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Photograph: Ladakalnis hill, AukÅtaitija National Park, LithuaniaPhotographer: Wojsyl (Wikipedia) PraÅom... 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! PirmÅ pirmiausia paklausiu klausimÄ ar sutinkate bÅti ÄraÅyta ir ar informacija gali bÅti panaudota internete?

KodÄl taip manot? 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.

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 welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  This is our second installment of Gyvenimas Puikus.  First, weâll let you hear the conversation and then weâll go over the conversation slowly and break it down a little.  After that weâll let you hear the recordings that we had to cut out because Raminta and her friend DovilÄ just couldnât keep from laughing.  And by the way, Iâd like to sincerely thank DovilÄ for taking the time to help us with the Gyvenimas Puikus series.  Dovile, you have a beautiful voice.  Alright, here we go, enjoy!

Hi there, this is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud.  On previous episodes Raminta and I went over the nationalities of some of our listeners.  We named the countries, named nationalities and drank toasts to the countries.  Since then weâve added many listeners from many nations around the world.  Today we want to catch up our listeners from these nations by doing the same for them.  Just so you know, we recorded this a few weeks ago and since then some more listeners in other nations joined us.  So, we pasted some more recordings into this episode.  Because of that the audio might sound a little bit odd here and there but, hey, what are you gonna do?  Enjoy! Photograph: Lithuanians in the Lithuanian Seimas (Parliament) 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.

Hi there, this is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud.  Today weâre in a new month!  In Latin Decem means ten.  December was the tenth month in the old Roman calendar.  Later, when January and February were added it became the 12th month but retained its old name.  In Lithuanian this month is gruodis from the word gruodas which roughly translates as âfrozen mud clod.â  In this month the mud choked dirt roads are made passable again as the ground freezes. Photograph title: PusiauÅiemio iÅdaiga (midwinter's joke)Photographer: Algirdas (Wikipedia)   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. labÄ dienÄgood day labÄ dienÄgood day norÄtumÄm staliukÄ dviems praÅauwe would like a table for two, please trys ÅmonÄs?three persons? ne, tik duno, just two bet reikÄs penkiolika minuÄiÅ palauktibut itâs necessary for fifteen minutes to wait gerai, palauksimokay, weâll wait koks JÅsÅ vardas?what is your name?

Hey there!  This is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud.  Today we have a special program with a special guest co-host.  Raminta and I invited Kristina to come on the show and do an episode.  Kristina is orginally from KlaipÄda, Lithuania but she is currently studying at a university in Aberdeen, Scotland.  Kristina is the famous Kristina of the Lithuanian tutorials on Youtube.  She is the author and star of some great free videos teaching Lithuanian to English speakers.  Raminta and I highly recommend that you visit Youtube, do a search for Lithuanian Tutorial and we guarantee youâll really enjoy Kristina teaching you Lithuanian.  Please leave her some comments on her comments section and tell her we sent you.  Weâll include a link to her videos on the Lithuanian Out Loud blogpage. Photograph: The USS VigilantPhoto courtesy United States Coast Guard 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. please repeat, praÅom pakartoti to want, to wish                           norÄtiI want                                         aÅ noriuyou want (tu)                               tu norihe wants                                     jis norishe wants                                    ji noriyou want (jÅs) (polite form)          jÅs noriteyou all want (jÅs)                         jÅs noritewe want                                      mes norimethey want (mm/mf)                      jie norithey want (ff)                              jos nori to not want                                  nenorÄtiI donât want                                aÅ nenoriuyou donât want (tu)                      tu nenorihe doesnât want                           jis nenorishe doesnât want                          ji nenoriyou donât want (jÅs) (polite form)  jÅs nenoriteyou all donât want (jÅs)                 jÅs nenoritewe donât want                              mes nenorimethey donât want (mm/mf)              jie nenorithey donât want (ff)                      jos nenori aÅa male cat                                    katinasa male doctor                               gydytojasto fall asleep                                 uÅmigtiagain                                           vÄlI want to fall asleep                       aÅ noriu uÅmigti I want to fall asleep                       noriu uÅmigtiI want to do that again and again     aÅ noriu tai daryti vÄl ir vÄl!

PraÅom Palaukti Please WaitHi 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 November which in Lithuanian is lapkritis. 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. Photograph: Grass SnakePhotographer: 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          praÅomhere you are         praÅomthis is for you       praÅom thank you             aÄiÅitâs nothing           nÄra uÅ kÄitâs nothing           nÄra uÅ kÄ when you say nÄra uÅ kÄ in normal conversation is sounds more like one word itâs nothing           nÄra uÅ kÄno sweat              nÄra uÅ kÄ itâs nothing           nieko tokioyouâre welcome    nieko tokiono sweat               nieko tokio a friend brings you a drink and says, here you go           praÅomyou 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              praÅomthe bookseller says,thank you                 dÄkojuand 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                     dÄkojuthank you                     dÄkuithank you                     dÄkojuthank you                     dÄkojuthanks                          dÄkuithanks                          dÄkuithank you (formal)        dÄkui jumsthank 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                 praÅomthank you                    dÄkojuyouâre 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            praÅomthank you                     dÄkojuyouâre welcome            praÅom you open your front door and invite a friend in, you say,please come in               praÅomthank you                      aÄiÅitâs nothing                    nÄra uÅ kÄ youâre getting on a bus and you stand aside to let an elderly woman board before you,please, you first              praÅomthank you                      dÄkui jumsitâs 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               praÅomthanks                          dÄkuiyouâre 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, atsisÄstiplease, give (me)             praÅom, paduotiplease, tell (me)              praÅom, pasakytiplease, repeat                 praÅom, pakartotiplease, write                   praÅom, raÅytiplease, take                    praÅom, paiimtiplease, read (me)            praÅom, paskaitytiplease, wait                    praÅom, palauktiplease, listen                   praÅom, klausytiplease, donât smoke        praÅom, nerÅkyti (rÅkyti â to smoke)please, come in               praÅom, uÅeitiplease, eat                      praÅom, valgytiplease, show (me)           praÅom, parodytiplease, advise (me)          praÅom, patartiplease, have a seat           praÅom, prisÄstiplease, listen                   praÅom, paklausytiplease, visit                     praÅom, apsilankytiplease, stand up              praÅom, atsistoti or, during a language class we might use theseâ please, speak Lithuanian     praÅom kalbÄti lietuviÅkaiplease, speak English          praÅom kalbÄti angliÅkai Puiku!  Excellent!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!

Miesteliuose In The Towns 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 winterPhotographer: 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 VilniujeVilnius is in Lithuania            Vilnius yra LietuvojeBerlin is in Germany              Berlynas yra VokietojeTokyo is in Japan                  Tokijas yra JaponijojeDelhi 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 vocabulary â Åodynas a park           parkasa bookstore   knygynasa bar             barasan auto         automobilisa town          miestelisa pastry        pyragÄlisa basket        krepÅysa train           traukinysa market       turgusa museum     muziejusa convoy       konvojusa television    televizoriusa fruit           vaisiusa stone          akmuoa bowl           dubuo praÅom pakartoti,(-as)in the park            parke              in the parks         parkuosein the bookstore    knygyne          in the bookstores knygynuosein the bar              bare                in the bars           baruose(-is)in the auto            automobilyje    in the autos        automobiliuosein the town            miestelyje       in the towns       miesteliuosein the pastry          pyragÄlyje       in the pastries     pyragÄliuose(-ys)in the basket          krepÅyje         in the baskets      krepÅiuosein the train             traukinyje       in the trains        traukiniuose(-us)in the market         turguje            in the markets     turguosein the museum       muziejuje        in the museums   muziejuosein the convoy         konvojuje       in the convoys     konvojuose(-ius)in the television      televizoriuje    in the televisions  televizoriuosein the fruit             vaisiuje           in the fruits          vaisiuose(-uo)in the stone           akmenyje         in the stones       akmenysein the bowl            dubenyje         in the bowls        dubenyse examples pavyzdÅiai birds are in the park               paukÅÄiai yra parkebirds are in the parks              paukÅÄiai yra parkuosebooks are in the bookstore      knygos yra knygynebooks are in the bookstores     knygos yra knygynuosewe can dance in the bar         galime Åokti barewe can dance in the bars        galime Åokti baruosethe key is in the car               raktas automobilyjethe keys are in the cars          raktai automobiliuosepigeons in the town                balandÅiai miestelyjepigeons in the towns              balandÅiai miesteliuosea cherry is in the pastry          vyÅnia yra pyragÄlyjecherries are in the pastries      vyÅnios yra pyragÄliuosebread in the basket                 duona yra krepÅyje cherries in the baskets            vyÅnios yra krepÅiuosepeople in the train                  ÅmonÄs traukinyjepeople in the trains                 ÅmonÄs traukiniuosepeople in the market               ÅmonÄs turgujepeople in the markets              ÅmonÄs turguosea painting in the museum         paveikslas muziejujepaintings in the museums         paveikslai muziejuoseships in the convoy                 laivai konvojujeships in the convoys                 laivai konvojuosedust in the television               dulkÄs televizoriujedust in the televisions             dulkÄs televizoriuoseworms in the fruit                   kirmÄlÄs vaisiujeworms in the fruits                 kirmÄlÄs vaisiuosea crack in the stone                traÅkÄjimas akmenyjecracks in the stones                traÅkÄjimai akmenysewater in the bowl                   vanduo dubenyjewater in the bowls                  vanduo dubenyse Åaunu!  Great!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!  Excellent!

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.

Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. 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. pradÄkime, letâs get started Today weâre going to mix all the different endings of numbers in one big review episode using just one noun.  The currency of Lithuania â litas.
