Daug Many

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

Egle, welcome to the show! Hi!

Where, now, where are you from?

Okay, I am from Lithuania.

What part? Klaipėda. Vakarų Lietuva – western Lithuania.

So, you're from western Lithuania. Yes.

And, what is your accent? What style of accent..?

No accent! Standard?

(Raminta in the background) Yes!

So, Egle…

Stelmužė is a village in Zarasai district, Lithuania. There is a wooden chapel built in 1650 not using saws or iron nails; it is the oldest wooden religious building in Lithuania. Stelmužė is also known for the Tower of Slaves or Vergų bokštas, a rectangular building constructed of stone and bricks, used for imprisonment of serfs.

Nasty. Did you know this? No! Wow, we try to teach on every lesson a little bit about Lithuania. That's nice. History, religion, the old religion, things like this.

pradėkime, let's get started

On recent episodes we worked on numbering things such as three museums, trys muziejai or thirty seven dogs, trisdešimt septyni šunys. That's a lot! Yes!

Today we'll go over how to say, many dogs or a lot of people. We're talking about an indefinite number of things. When you talk about indefinite numbers of things you use the plural genitive. First, some vocabulary…
