Lithuanian Out Loud 0111 - Jis Valgo Bulves He Eats Potatoes

Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. According to the Wikipedia page, List of Lithuanian Gods; Teliavelis was a powerful smith who made the sun and threw it into the sky. This myth survived in folk tales up to the beginning of 20th century. In the last few episodes we learned how to use the accusative plural and genitive plural in conjunction with a transitive verb – valgyti – to eat.  But, we only did masculine nouns. Today we'll use some feminine nouns.  Feminine nouns are declined in the plural accusative like this: words that end in –a change to –as words that end in –ė change to –es now let's go over some examples… a carrot           morka carrots                             morkos I am eating a carrot           aš valgau morką I eat the carrots                 aš valgau morkas I am not eating a carrot       aš nevalgau morkos I am not eating the carrots   aš nevalgau morkų a sausage                                   dešra sausages                                    dešros you are eating a sausage (tu)         tu valgai dešrą you eat the sausages                   valgai dešras you are not eating a sausage        nevalgai dešros you do not eat the sausages         nevalgai dešrų a pizza                                       pica pizzas                                        picos they are eating a pizza                 jie valgo picą they eat the pizzas                       jie valgo picas they are not eating a pizza           jie nevalgo picos they are not eating the pizzas        jie nevalgo picų a potato                                      bulvė potatoes                                     bulvės he is eating a potato                     jis valgo bulvę he is eating the potatoes               jis valgo bulves he is not eating a potato               jis nevalgo bulvės he is not eating the potatoes         jis nevalgo bulvių a vegetable                                 daržovė vegetables                                  daržovės she is eating a vegetable               ji valgo daržovę she eats vegetables                     ji valgo daržoves she is not eating a vegetable         ji nevalgo daržovės she is not eating the vegetables     ji nevalgo daržovių (now a conversation on whether or not people should eat squirrels - voverės) keep in mind when you say aš valgau, you're saying I eat or I am eating, jis valgo, he eats or he is eating, mes valgome, we eat or we are eating. Also, if this all seems difficult, don't worry, we plan to do hundreds or even thousands of examples using many, many verbs to make this easier for you. Puiku!  Excellent!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!
