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!
