Hi there, I'm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Here's a quick note before we get to today's episode continuing the instrumental case,

Dave MacLeod from PageF30.com has created something to help him memorize Lithuanian declensions. He creates English sentences and replaces select words with Lithuanian words. You can take a look at his work and let him know what you think. I'll post his link on the Lithuanian Out Loud webpage.

A listener named Viktorija left a post on our blogpage on an earlier episode concerning the use of labukas. Viktorija wants us to know, "labukas" is a quite intimate, soft and even flirting way of saying hi. So, a girl can say "labukas" to another girl or a guy she knows well, and a guy can say "labukas" to a girl. But if a guy says "labukas" to another guy, it sounds odd and effeminate. Viktorija says, she's from Vilnius and she uses "labukas" with her friends.

Today we'll continue where we left off with the instrumental case. Alright, let's get started with today's program, enjoy! Let's go over some examples using feminine singular nouns…
