Hi there, I'm Jack. Today's episode begins a long series of episodes that will introduce a lot of new vocabulary related to food. When I started digging into this I was surprised at how large the subject of food is. You have your basic foods like apples, oranges, chicken, beef, etcetera. Then you have all the ingredients used in cooking such as flour, cloves, rosemary, and then you have all the foods you can create or that you might order in a restaurant, such as eggplant casserole with cheese, linguini pasta with clam sauce or cinnamon rolls with cherry filling. This is a huge topic. Anyway, we have many, many, many episodes scripted for this subject. We won't give them all to you at once or one after the other. We'll intersperse the series with exam episodes and episodes on other topics. Evenutally, we'll get through dozens of food programs. Just so you know what to expect, we just shoot through the food types and we use phrases that you might use such as, I like bananas, I don't like bananas, I want bananas, I don't want bananas, and then we'll move onto another food. The episodes won't by organized by types of food. We'll mix fruits with meats and salads with bakery products. We hope it all comes in handy. Now, on with today's episode that I recorded with Vytautas, the ballroom dance competitor visiting the United States from Kaunas, Lithuania. Enjoy! Hi there, I'm Jack, I am Vytautas and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

aukstaičiai

okay

it's the best Lithuanian, or..?

yeah, I think the best

the best!

alright, uh...

According to the Wikipedia article entitled, Kaunas Castle, in 1361 the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights sent spies to study the defenses of the castle. The following year, 1362, the German knights attacked and the siege lasted three weeks. The castle walls were 36 feet or 11 meters high but the Christian knights took the castle killing all but 36 of the 400 Lithuanian defenders. The Germans then commemorated the victory with a celebration on Easter Sunday 1362. Later the Lithuanians attacked the castle and drove the Christians away. In 1384 the Teutuonic Knights attacked and conquered the castle again. That same year the Lithuanians floated troops, cannons and trebuchets down the Neris River from Vilnius and smashed the German army.

Just a short review before we get to the meat of today's episode. If we're talking about an unspecified number of a COUNTABLE object we use the genitive plural. If we're talking about an unspecified amount of an UNCOUNTABLE object we use the genitive singular. Just keep this rule in mind. Today we're going to be going over items you might want to order in a restaurant. Using a countable noun we might say something like this; I would like mushrooms norėčiau grybų Using an uncountable noun we might say something like this; I would like milk norėčiau pieno what you would like? ko pageidausite?

LL0222 - Vidurzemio Jura The Mediterranean Sea

Hi there, I'm Jack and before we get started with today's episode, I just wanted to mention that Raminta won't be able to do any recordings for a few months. Fortunately, Gintarė has offered to help us and the two of us will be recording, maybe the next 40 - 60 episodes if we can meet up enough. It's not easy for us to get together and the location we record at isn't perfect, there are some noises in the background, but I'll try to edit out as much background noise as possible.

Also, a listener asked us how to pronounce, Children's Support Center, in Lithuanian. Well, it's Paramos Vaikams Centras. We hope that helps.

On today's episode Gintarė will say the phrase three times at the beginning and then she'll say it three times again at the end.

So, thanks Gintare, for helping us record our episodes, you're awesome! Okay, on with the show!
