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

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 – valgyti – to eat.  But, we only did masculine nouns.

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

words that end in –a change to –as words that end in –ė change to –es

now let’s go over some examples…

a carrot           morka

carrots                             morkos

I am eating a carrot           aš valgau morką

I eat the carrots                 aš valgau morkas

I am not eating a carrot       aš nevalgau morkos

I am not eating the carrots   aš nevalgau morkų

a sausage                                   dešra

sausages                                    dešros

you are eating a sausage (tu)         tu valgai dešrą

you eat the sausages                   valgai dešras

you are not eating a sausage        nevalgai dešros

you do not eat the sausages         nevalgai dešrų

a pizza                                       pica

pizzas                                        picos

they are eating a pizza                 jie valgo picą

they eat the pizzas                       jie valgo picas

they are not eating a pizza           jie nevalgo picos

they are not eating the pizzas        jie nevalgo picų

a potato                                      bulvė

potatoes                                     bulvės

he is eating a potato                     jis valgo bulvę

he is eating the potatoes               jis valgo bulves

he is not eating a potato               jis nevalgo bulvės

he is not eating the potatoes         jis nevalgo bulvių

a vegetable                                 daržovė

vegetables                                  daržovės

she is eating a vegetable               ji valgo daržovę

she eats vegetables                     ji valgo daržoves

she is not eating a vegetable         ji nevalgo daržovės

she is not eating the vegetables     ji nevalgo daržovių

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

keep in mind when you say aš valgau, you’re 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, don’t 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!
