Lithuanian Out Loud 0090 - Jis Neturi Automobilio He Does Not Have A Car
from LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD
Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Today we're in the month of June which in Lithuanian is birželis. Labai ačiū. O, prašom labai – with all my heart! A Danish company distributes a popular beer in Lithuania known as Kalnapilis. Do you like this beer? A lot! No! No, I don't like beers. I'm not a beer person. Me either. But, I heard that it's a good beer. Better is Švyturys. Švyturys? Švyturys. Kas yra? (what is it?) Švyturys is the company making beer – Lithuanians. In 2006 this company found itself in the middle of a controversy after it began an advertising campaign featuring Rūpintojėlis wearing headphones and listening to music. Did you see this ad? No, I didn't sorry! Oh, you missed out. I know, what a loss. Many Lithuanians found the commercialization of a traditional Lithuanian icon to be troubling. After receiving a flood of complaints the advertisements were removed. pradėkime, let's get started. Okay, I'm ready. Previously we learned how to use the verb turėti – to have. For example, I have a passport – aš turiu pasą, or she has a car – ji turi automobilį. In these examples we have to use the accusative case. Neturėti is the verb – to not have. Here is neturėti conjugated: prašom pakartoti… I don't have aš neturiu you don't have (tu) tu neturi he doesn't have jis neturi she doesn't have ji neturi we don't have mes neturime you don't have (jūs) jūs neturite you all don't have jūs neturite they don't have (male or male/female group) jie neturi they don't have (females only) jos neturi Dėmesio! Attention! This is an important point. When we negate a transitive verb we don't use the accusative, we use the genitive case or kilmininkas. Let's do some examples, prašom pakartoti…labai gerai. a passport pasas I have a passport aš turiu pasą I don't have a passport aš neturiu paso a question klausimas I have a question aš turiu klausimą I don't have a question aš neturiu klausimo a problem problema you have a problem (tu) tu turi problemą you don't have a problem (tu) tu neturi problemos a wife žmona you have a wife (tu) tu turi žmoną you don't have a wife (tu) tu neturi žmonos a husband vyras she has a husband ji turi vyrą she doesn't have a husband ji neturi vyro a female friend draugė she has a female friend ji turi draugę she doesn't have a female friend ji neturi draugės a house namas he has a house jis turi namą he doesn't have a house jis neturi namo automobile automobilis he has a car jis turi automobilį he doesn't have a car jis neturi automobilio a male friend draugas you have a male friend (jūs) jūs turite draugą you don't have a male friend (jūs) jūs neturite draugo the room kambarys you have a room (jūs) jūs turite kambarį you don't have a room (jūs) jūs neturite kambario idea idėja you all have an idea jūs turite idėją you all don't have an idea jūs neturite idėjos a male doctor gydytojas they have a male doctor jie turi gydytoją they don't have a male doctor jie neturi gydytojo a female doctor gydytoja they have a female doctor jie turi gydytoją they don't have a female doctor jie neturi gydytojos father tėvas they have a father (jos) jos turi tėvą they don't have a father (jos) jos neturi tėvo mother motina they have a mother (jos) jos turi motiną they don't have a mother (jos) jos neturi motinos museum muziejus the city has a museum miestas turi muziejų the city doesn't have a museum miestas neturi muziejaus television televizorius Raminta has a television Raminta turi televizorių Raminta doesn't have a television Raminta neturi televizoriaus Oh, how sad. That is sad. Kaip liūdnas. (incorrect) Kaip liūdna. (how sad) Kaip liūdna.
