Lithuanian Out Loud 0041 - Vienas Du Trys One Two Three

from LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD · host Raminta & Jack

Hey! Hey! Hey!  This is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where Raminta is the native speaker and I'm the beginner.  Today we'll learn numbers one through ten.  On the episode after this we'll learn some more ways of saying thank you for things and on the episode after that we'll start working on numbers from eleven on up.  But before we get to any of that, here's a message from Eglė in the port city of Klaipėda, Lithuania. Hello everybody, this is Eglė from Klaipėda, you're listening to Lithuanian Out Loud with Raminta and Jack, enjoy! Thank you very much Eglė, that was very sweet of you to say that for the show.  Ačiū labai!  In case you weren't aware of it, eglė is the Lithuanian word for "fir tree." Now, here's a lesson that Raminta and I recorded a few weeks ago.  Enjoy! --- Hello everybody!  This is Jack and I'm Raminta and you're listening to Lithuanian Out Loud, the world's first Lithuanian language lessons in a podcast series!  According to the World Health Organization, of the ten nations who have the highest rate of suicide, Finland comes in at 10th place.  Number nine, Kazakhstan, eight, Ukraine, seven, Slovenia.  Coming in at sixth place is Hungary, at fifth, Estonia and at fourth place is Latvia.  I think you see where I'm going with this.  Now the final three nations with the highest suicide rate.  In third place is Belarus, in second is Russia and the number one nation with the highest suicide rate in the world is…Lithuania.  What's up with that? According to the World Health Organizaton statistics, in the year 2000, 75 men and 16 women of every thousand people kill themselves in Lithuania.  Evidently a number of health organizations are studying the problem but no solution as of yet. Now let's spend a few lessons talking about numbers.  Yep, you knew it was coming sooner or later! Unfortunately, we have both masculine and feminine numbers.  Now, don't get depressed, once you learn them you can show off to your friends.  Here we go!  Let's do masculine numbers first. please repeat  out loud prašom pakartoti nulis    zero nulis    zero vienas  one vienas  one du        two du       two trys     three keep in mind this number is spelled with the letter "y" or y ilgoji, so it has the long 'eee' sound, not the short "i" sound. trys        three keturi     four keturi     four penki     five penki     five šeši        six šeši        six septyni   seven septyni   seven aštuoni   eight aštuoni   eight devyni     nine devyni     nine dešimt     ten dešimt    ten keep in mind, dešimt is the same in masculine or feminine numbers now the feminine numbers, please say them out loud nulis         zero nulis        zero viena        one viena       one dvi          two dvi          two trys          three trys          three keturios   four keturios   four penkios    five penkios    five šešios       six šešios       six septynios  seven septynios  seven aštuonios  eight aštuonios  eight devynios   nine devynios   nine dešimt       ten dešimt       ten Okay, Raminta, let's hear you count - one to ten really fast!
