Lithuanian Out Loud 0080 - Du Broliai Two Brothers

Hey there!  This is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud.  First off, I need to apologize to anyone who's sent us an email with a gmail address.  Unfortunately, our spam blocker was working overtime again and blocked these emails and we never got them.  We're very sorry for the error.  So, if you have a gmail address and you sent us an email and did not get a response, please send it again and we promise to reply this time.  Sorry about that. I'd like to thank Aldona of Los Angeles, California for coming on the show and helping us record this episode.  Aldona teaches Lithuanian and she was kind enough to spend about an hour with us working on this episode.  Thanks a million Aldona! Just for clarification, this episode only covers regular nouns, we'll cover some irregular nouns in upcoming episodes.  Well, Raminta will be here in just three days!  Woohoo!  So, this episode should be the last one you listen to using Skype for quite some time.  After today we'll be providing much better audio.  Also, as soon as Raminta gets here we'll be working overtime to produce a few intermediate episodes along with our beginning episodes.  A few weeks after that we'll try to bring you something in the advanced category. Please don't forget about us, if you have a moment please go to iTunes and give us a review.  Our goal is still 50 positive reviews.  Alright, on with the show, enjoy! Laba diena, ar čia Aldona? Laba diena, laba diena, čia Aldona. Kaip jums sekasi? Man gerai sekasi, kaip tau? Sveikas kaip ridikas, ačiū.  (healthy as a raddish) Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Aldona and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  The next time you're in Vilnius, go to Cathedral Square and look for the Stebuklas Tile.  Stebuklas is the Lithuanian word for miracle.  Now, it's bad luck to mention where the tile is located exactly so people may not want to say where it is if you ask.  Just look for a small crowd of people laughing and spinning on a tile.  To make a wish, close your eyes and make three clockwise turns on the tile and your wish will come true. Are you familiar with this tile? No, it's the first time I've heard of it, but next time I'll look for it. Today we'll learn how to create the plural of regular masculine nouns.  That's to say, three restaurants, seven automobiles, two museums, etcetera.  Masculine nouns have to be matched to masculine numbers and feminine nouns have to be matched to feminine numbers.  We'll go over some irregular nouns later.  To review numbers go back to episodes 0041 and 0044. to create plural nouns: masculine nouns that end in –as change to –ai masculine nouns that end in –is change to –iai masculine nouns that end in –ys change to –iai masculine nouns that end in –us change to –ai masculine nouns that end in –ius change to –iai again, all the numbers and nouns in this episode are masculine. prašom pakartoti… the restaurant                        restoranas one restaurant                        vienas restoranas two restaurants                     du restoranai the restroom                          tualetas one restroom                        vienas tualetas two restrooms                      du tualetai the male friend                     draugas one male friend                    vienas draugas two male friends                  du draugai the automobile                      automobilis one automobile                     vienas automobilis two automobiles                   du automobiliai the brother                          brolis one brother                         vienas brolis two brothers                        du broliai the armchair                        fotelis one armchair                        vienas fotelis two armchairs                      du foteliai the train                               traukinys one train                              vienas traukinys two trains                             du traukiniai a basket                              krepšys one basket                          vienas krepšys two baskets                         du krepšiai the room                             kambarys one room                            vienas kambarys two rooms                          du kambariai (conversation) a museum                              muziejus one museum                          vienas muziejus two museums                        du muziejai the television                          televizorius one television                         vienas televizorius two televisions                        du televizoriai the fruit                                  vaisius one fruit                                vienas vaisius two fruits                                du vaisiai the actor                                aktorius one actor                               vienas aktorius two actors                             du aktoriai now let's add bigger numbers to these nouns.  To review numbers listen again to episode 0041. again, these are all masculine numbers and masculine nouns two restaurants                       du restoranai three restaurants                     trys restoranai three restrooms                       trys tualetai four male friends                    keturi draugai five automobiles                     penki automobiliai six brothers                            šeši broliai seven armchairs                      septyni foteliai eight trains                             aštuoni traukiniai nine baskets                          devyni krepšiai three rooms                           trys kambariai two televisions                      du televizoriai five fruits                              penki vaisiai four actors                            keturi aktoriai three restaurants                    trys restoranai eight museums                       aštuoni muziejai two bathrooms                     du tualetai six male friends                    šeši draugai seven automobiles                 septyni automobiliai eight brothers                        aštuoni broliai nine armchairs                      devyni foteliai two trains                             du traukiniai four baskets                         keturi krepšiai two rooms                            du kambariai six museums                          šeši muziejai four televisions                      keturi televizoriai seven fruits                          septyni vaisiai nine actors                           devyni aktoriai four restaurants                     keturi restoranai five bathrooms                      penki tualetai two male friends                   du draugai six automobiles                    šeši automobiliai three brothers                      trys broliai seven trains                         septyni traukiniai two baskets                        du krepšiai seven rooms                       septyni kambariai five televisions                     penki televizoriai three fruits                          trys vaisiai six actors                            šeši aktoriai four museums                     keturi muziejai Thanks to Eglė Ribalkaitė of Klaipėda, Lithuania for reviewing this episode for errors.
