LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD

Lithuanian Out Loud 0141 - Interviu Su Ingrida Interview With Ingrida


Listen Later

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

Prašom...

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 Klaipėda. 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, you’ll hear the conversation between Raminta and Ingrida and then we’ll break it down using some examples. Then at the end we’ll play the conversation again.  Enjoy!  Enjoy! Viskas….Labas vakaras, Ingrida!

Labas vakaras, Raminta!

Pirmų pirmiausia paklausiu klausimą ar sutinkate būti įrašyta ir ar informacija gali būti panaudota internete?

Gali

…projekte “Lithuanian Out Loud”

Prašau

Ačiū, tai va, Ingrida, kaip manai, kas gyvenime yra laimingesni – vyrai ar moterys?

Aš galvoju, kad laimingesnės vis tik moterys yra gyvenime.

Moterys? Kodėl taip manot?

Todėl, kad jos gali pasiekti daugiau negu vyrai kartais, jos yra išradingesnės, subtilesnės, jautresnės, įdomesnės daugumoje, aišku yra ir vyrų įdomių, na ir daug daugiau tų privalumų yra ištikrųjų, tik reikia būti moteriai protingai, protas nugali viską.

Šaunu, ištikrųjų šaunu

Raminta: Viskas….Labas vakaras, Ingrida! That’s it…Good evening, Ingrida!

Ingrida: Labas vakaras, Raminta! Good evening, Raminta

Raminta: Pirmų pirmiausia paklausiu klausimą ar sutinkate būti įrašyta ir ar informacija gali būti panaudota internete? First of all I will ask a question do you agree to be recorded and can the information be used on the internet?

Ingrida: Gali It can

Raminta: …projekte “Lithuanian Out Loud” …in the project “Lithuanian Out Loud”

Ingrida: Prašau “Go right ahead”

Raminta: Ačiū, tai va, Ingrida, kaip manai, kas gyvenime yra laimingesni – vyrai ar moterys? Thanks, so, Ingrida, what do you think, who in life is happier - men or women?

Ingrida: Aš galvoju, kad laimingesnės vis tik moterys yra gyvenime. I think that happier, nevertheless, women are in life.

Raminta: Moterys? Kodėl taip manot? Women? Why do you think so?

Ingrida: Todėl, kad jos gali pasiekti daugiau negu vyrai kartais, jos yra išradingesnės, subtilesnės, jautresnės, įdomesnės daugumoje, aišku yra ir vyrų įdomių, na ir daug daugiau tų privalumų yra ištikrųjų, tik reikia būti moteriai protingai, protas nugali viską. 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 it’s necessary for women to be clever, intelligence conquers all.

Raminta: Šaunu, ištikrųjų šaunu Great, really great
