Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Today we're in the month of June which in Lithuanian is birželis.

Labai ačiū. O, prašom labai – with all my heart!

A Danish company distributes a popular beer in Lithuania known as Kalnapilis. Do you like this beer? A lot! No! No, I don't like beers. I'm not a beer person. Me either. But, I heard that it's a good beer. Better is Švyturys. Švyturys? Švyturys. Kas yra? (what is it?) Švyturys is the company making beer – Lithuanians.

In 2006 this company found itself in the middle of a controversy after it began an advertising campaign featuring Rūpintojėlis wearing headphones and listening to music. Did you see this ad? No, I didn't sorry! Oh, you missed out. I know, what a loss. Many Lithuanians found the commercialization of a traditional Lithuanian icon to be troubling. After receiving a flood of complaints the advertisements were removed.

pradėkime, let's get started. Okay, I'm ready.

Previously we learned how to use the verb turėti – to have. For example, I have a passport – aš turiu pasą, or she has a car – ji turi automobilį. In these examples we have to use the accusative case. Neturėti is the verb – to not have.

Here is neturėti conjugated: prašom pakartoti…

I don't have aš neturiu

you don't have (tu) tu neturi

he doesn't have jis neturi

she doesn't have ji neturi

we don't have mes neturime

you don't have (jūs) jūs neturite

you all don't have jūs neturite

they don't have (male or male/female group) jie neturi

they don't have (females only) jos neturi

Dėmesio! Attention! This is an important point. When we negate a transitive verb we don't use the accusative, we use the genitive case or kilmininkas. Let's do some examples, prašom pakartoti…labai gerai.
