LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD
Hi there, Iâm Jack and Iâm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Photograph: Morkos (Carrots)Photographer: Kander (Wikipedia) 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 âaswords that end in âÄ change to âes now letâs go over some examplesâ a carrot morkacarrots morkosI am eating a carrot aÅ valgau morkÄI eat the carrots aÅ valgau morkasI am not eating a carrot aÅ nevalgau morkosI am not eating the carrots aÅ nevalgau morkÅ a sausage deÅrasausages deÅrosyou are eating a sausage (tu)tu valgai deÅrÄyou eat the sausages valgai deÅrasyou are not eating a sausage nevalgai deÅrosyou do not eat the sausages nevalgai deÅrÅ a pizza picapizzas picosthey are eating a pizza jie valgo picÄthey eat the pizzas jie valgo picasthey are not eating a pizza jie nevalgo picosthey are not eating the pizzasjie nevalgo picÅ a potato bulvÄpotatoes bulvÄshe is eating a potato jis valgo bulvÄhe is eating the potatoes jis valgo bulveshe is not eating a potato jis nevalgo bulvÄshe is not eating the potatoes jis nevalgo bulviÅ a vegetable darÅovÄvegetables darÅovÄsshe is eating a vegetableji valgo darÅovÄshe eats vegetables ji valgo darÅovesshe is not eating a vegetable ji nevalgo darÅovÄsshe 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.

Lithuanian Out Loud 0110 Beg - Nevalgyti To Not Eat - Voicemail 206-202-4745
Sun August 24 2008
Hi there, this is Jack, and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud. Before we get to todayâs episode, hereâs another fabulous installment of AgnÄ iÅ Vilniaus. Take it away, Agne! Photograph: RÅdininkÅ 13, Vilnius, LithuaniaPhotographer: AgnÄ iÅ Vilniaus 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 slowlyaÅ alkanas kaip vilkasaÅ alkanas kaip vilkas â I am as hungry as a wolfaÅ alkanas kaip ÅuoaÅ 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 meaÅ alkanas kaip vilkas aÅ alkanas kaip Åuoand a female would say,aÅ alkana kaip vilkas aÅ alkana kaip Åuo aÅ alkana kaip vilkas aÅ alkanas kaip ÅuoAfter 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 nevalgauyou do not eat (tu) tu nevalgaihe does not eat jis nevalgoshe does not eat ji nevalgowe do not eat mes nevalgomeyou do not eat (jÅs) jÅs nevalgoteyou all do not eat jÅs nevalgotethey do not eat jie nevalgothey do not eat (all females) jos nevalgo now letâs make some sentences using nevalgyti. a bananabananasthe bananas bananaiIâm eating a banana aÅ valgau bananÄIâm eating the bananasaÅ valgau bananusIâm not eating a banana aÅ nevalgau bananoIâm not eating the bananas aÅ nevalgau bananÅ the mushroom grybasthe mushrooms grybaiare you eating a mushroom? ar tu valgai grybÄ?are you eating mushrooms? ar valgai grybus?you are not eating a mushroom nevalgai gryboyou are not eating mushrooms nevalgai grybÅ an egg kiauÅinisthe eggskiauÅiniaihe is eating an egg jis valgo kiauÅinÄhe is eating eggs jis valgo kiauÅiniushe is not eating an egg jis nevalgo kiauÅiniohe is not eating eggs jis nevalgo kiauÅiniÅ a sandwich or hamburger sumuÅtinisthe sandwiches or hamburgerssumuÅtiniaishe is eating a sandwich ji valgo sumuÅtinÄsheâs eating hamburgers ji valgo sumuÅtiniusshe is not eating a sandwich ji nevalgo sumuÅtinioshe is not eating hamburgers ji nevalgo sumuÅtiniÅ an apple obuolysthe apples obuoliaiwe are eating an apple mes valgome obuolÄwe are eating the applesmes valgome obuoliuswe are not eating an apple mes nevalgome obuoliowe are not eating apples mes nevalgome obuoliÅ a crab krabascrabs krabaiare you eating a crab? ar jÅs valgote krabÄ?are you eating crabs? ar jÅs valgote krabus?you are not eating a crab jÅs nevalgote kraboyou are not eating crabs jÅs nevalgote krabÅ eel ungurysthe eels unguriaiare you all eating an eel? ar jÅs valgote ungurÄ?are you all eating eels? ar jÅs valgote ungurius?you all are not eating an eel jÅs nevalgote ungurioyou all are not eating eels jÅs nevalgote unguriÅ a perch(a species of fish) eÅerysthe perch (plural) eÅeriaiare they eating a perch? ar jos valgo eÅerÄ?are they are eating perch? ar jos valgo eÅerius?they are not eating a perchjos nevalgo eÅeriothey are not eating perch jos nevalgo eÅeriÅ Puiku!

Sun August 17 2008
Hi there, this is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud, a lot of flavor, zero calories. Before we start todayâs episode, just wanted to mention a couple of things. As of this recording the Lithuanian basketball team has won four games at the Beijing Olympics and lost none. Could this be the Olympic Games where they win the gold medal? Iâm rooting for Lithuania! Valio, valio, valio! Photograph: Gaidys (a rooster - a male chicken) Photographer: unknown (Wikipedia) Now, hereâs another AgnÄ iÅ Vilniaus contribution. AgnÄ says every Lithuanian aged three and older knows this song by heart. I looked for this song on Youtube and added links on the Lithuanian Out Loud blogpage so you can see the song with a video. Click on the links, I think youâll enjoy them. Of course, if you want to see the lyrics to the song, you can read them on the show notes on the blogpage or you can get them off the episode pdf. Labai aÄiÅ, Agne! Youâve created another fantastic contribution! Youâre super!

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 spurgabearlokys 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 valgauyou eat (tu) tu valgaihe eats jis valgoshe eatsji valgowe eatmes valgomeyou eat (jÅs) jÅs valgoteyou all eatjÅs valgotethey eat(jie) jie valgothey 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 bananasbananas bananaithe bananas bananaiIâm eating a banana aÅ valgau bananÄIâm 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 grybasthe mushrooms grybaiare 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 kiauÅinisthe eggs kiauÅiniaihe is eating an egg jis valgo kiauÅinÄhe is eating eggs jis valgo kiauÅinius a sandwich or hamburger sumuÅtinisthe sandwiches or hamburgers sumuÅtiniaishe is eating a sandwich ji valgo sumuÅtinÄsheâs eating hamburgers ji valgo sumuÅtinius an apple obuolysthe apples obuoliaiwe are eating an apple mes valgome obuolÄwe are eating the apples mes valgome obuolius a crab krabascrabs krabaiare you eating a crab? ar jÅs valgote krabÄ?are you eating crabs? ar jÅs valgote krabus? an eel ungurysthe eelsunguriaiare you all eating an eel? ar jÅs valgote ungurÄ?are you all eating eels? ar jÅs valgote ungurius?a perch eÅerysthe perch (plural) eÅeriaiare they eating a perch? ar jos valgo eÅerÄ?are they are eating perch? (plural) ar jos valgo eÅerius? Puiku! Excellent! You made it to the end of another episode! Puiku! Alright! Thatâs it for today! Thanks for the download!

Sun August 10 2008
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 August which in Lithuanian is - rugpjÅtis. Photograph: The StelmuÅÄ OakPhotographer: Algirdas Svid 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.O, aÅ tokia laiminga, aÅ turiu naujÄ automobilÄ.

Now Raminta will repeat her words slowly with a translation. O mano diena buvo ilga, vaÅiavau Ä KlaipÄdÄ autobusu,Oh my day was long, I went to KlaipÄda by bus, turÄjau vieÅnagÄ KlaipÄdoje, aplankiau brolius, registravau maÅinÄ ir grÄÅau su maÅina Ä VilniÅ,I had a stay in KaipÄda, visited my brothers, registered the car and returned with the car to Vilnius, pasiÄmiau iÅ draugÄs ÅunÄ, ir grÄÅau visa pavargus namo.took the dog from a girlfriend and returned home all tired.

Lithuanian Out Loud 0107 Beg - As Is Prienu I Am From Prienai - Voicemail 206-202-4745
Sun August 10 2008
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 August which in Lithuanian is - rugpjÅtis. Photograph: The train station of AnykÅÄiai - AnykÅÄiÅ siauruko geleÅinkelio stotis Photographer: Matasg (Wikipedia) 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.
