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!
