Lithuanian Out Loud 0119 - Keturiasdešimt Arklių Forty Horses

Hi there, this is Jack, Raminta and I would like to welcome you back to another episode of Lithuanian Out Loud. Today we'll continue working on numbers combined with nouns.  This episode covers numbers that end in the number zero.  On the next episode we'll take a break from numbers and explore the verb žiūrėti – to look at and nežiūrėti – to not look at. Back in May of 2008, Ola Halvorsen, a listener from Oslo, Norway wrote us saying he loved to view the show notes for our episodes in iTunes.  But, after episode 42 or so, they disappeared.  Well, it took a few months to get it all done, but we tore down all the episodes that didn't have show notes in the lyrics section, there were about 60 of them, added the show transcripts and put the mp3s back up. So now, if you download the episodes using iTunes, you can right click on the episode, then click on "info" and you'll see the episode's show notes.  You can even modify them for your own needs if you like.    Now, here's another awesome installment of Agnė iš Vilniaus, take it away Agne! Sveiki, aš Agnė.  Today we'll learn how to say you don't like something or you want to say, that something is disgusting. If your Lithuanian friend asks you, "what do you think about the weather?" And you don't like it for any reason, you could say, "baisus kaip gyvenimas..." - literally - as awful as life.   Let's translate the words   baisus, baisi               terrible, awful kaip                              like gyvenimas                    life ką manai apie...?            what do you think about... oras                              weather namas                          house reklama                         advertisement suknelė                         dress   Now let's say it one time slowly   baisus kaip gyvenimas   as awful as life Now let's see some examples:   What do you think about the weather? Ką manai apie orą? - Baisus kaip gyvenimas What do you think about this house?     Ką manai apie šį namą? - Baisus kaip gyvenimas If the object you are asking about is feminine, you will say not baisus, but baisi: What do you think about this advertising? Ką manai apie šią reklamą? - Baisi kaip gyvenimas What about the dress in this old photo?        Ką manai apie suknelę šioje senoje nuotraukoje? - Baisi kaip gyvenimas Try this expression out on your Lithuanian friends and see, how it works. I'm Agnė and I'll see you next week when we'll do some more Lithuanian from Vilnius.  Ate! keturiasdešimt arklių - forty horses Hi there, I'm Raminta and I'm Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today we're in the month of September which in Lithuanian is  -  rugsėjis. According to Wikipedia, Russia and Belarus have what are called Special Purpose Police Squads or OMON (Russian: Отряд милиции особого назначения; Otryad Militsii Osobogo Naznacheniya).  Their motto is "We know no mercy and do not ask for any."  In May 1991 the Soviet Union still hadn't recognized Lithuania's independence and the OMON assaulted the Krakūnai border post.  Approximately 30 Lithuanian officers were attacked and wounded including Gintaras Žagunis who was killed.  Two months later the OMON unit stationed in Riga attacked the Medininkai border crossing near the Vilnius-Minsk highway on 31 July.  Seven Lithuanian officers, Mindaugas Balavakas, Algimantas Juozakas, Juozas Janonis, Algirdas Kazlauskas, Antanas Musteikis, Stanislovas Orlavičius and Ričardas Rabavičius were shot and killed.  These men were unarmed and they were all shot in the head execution style.  Customs officer Tomas Šernas barely survived and today is disabled. The men responsible for these cold-blooded murders are now in Russia.  The Russian government refuses to hand them over to Lithuanian authorities. pradėkime, let's get started Today we'll continue combining numbers with nouns.  In this episode we'll focius on numbers that end in zero.  If a number ends in zero, such as ten, twenty, 140 or 1,000, we use the plural genitive. prašom pakartoti…please repeat… an armchair     fotelis the armchair        fotelis armchairs           foteliai the armchairs       foteliai a horse               arklys the horse            arklys horses                arkliai the horses          arkliai Now let's combine some nouns with some numbers 10 sisters            dešimt seserų 20 daughters        dvidešimt dukterų 30 uncles            trisdešimt dėdžių 40 horses            keturiasdešimt arklių 50 televisions       penkiasdešimt televizorių 60 days               šešiasdešimt dienų 70 glasses            septyniasdešimt taurių 80 countries        aštuoniasdešimt šalių 90 tables             devyniasdešimt stalų 100 songs           šimtas dainų 110 women          šimtas dešimt moterų 120 armchairs       šimtas dvidešimt fotelių 150 museums      šimtas penkiasdešimt muziejų 200 bowls            du šimtai dubenių 220 people          du šimtai dvidešimt asmenų 250 people          du šimtai penkiasdešimt žmonių 300 hotels           trys šimtai viešbučių 330 letters           trys šimtai trisdešimt laiškų 350 birds              trys šimtai penkiasdešimt paukščių 370 objects          trys šimtai septyniasdešimt dalykų 400 bicycles         keturi šimtai dviračių 440 trees             keturi šimtai keturiasdešimt medžių 450 pigeons         keturi šimtai penkiasdešimt balandžių 500 songs            penki šimtai dainų 550 pizzas           penki šimtai penkiasdešimt picų 560 things           penki šimtai šešiasdešimt daiktų 600 armchairs      šeši šimtai fotelių 650 televisions     šeši šimtai penkiasdešimt televizorių 660 horses           šeši šimtai šešiasdešimt arklių 700 days             septyni šimtai dienų 750 glasses           septyni šimtai penkiasdešimt taurių 770 countries         septyni šimtai septyniasdešimt šalių 800 tables            aštuoni šimtai stalų 850 songs            aštuoni šimtai penkiasdešimt dainų 880 women          aštuoni šimtai aštuoniasdešimt moterų 900 museums       devyni šimtai muziejų 950 bowls            devyni šimtai penkiasdešimt dubenų 990 people           devyni šimtai devyniasdešimt žmonių 1,000 people        vienas tūkstantis žmonių 1,010 hotels         vienas tūkstantis dešimt viešbučių 1,050 letters         vienas tūkstantis penkiasdešimt laiškų 1,150 birds           vienas tūkstantis vienas šimtas penkiasdešimt paukščių 2,000 bicycles       du tūkstančiai dviračių 2,760 pizzas         du tūkstančiai septyni šimtai šešiasdešimt picų 2,340 trees           du tūkstančiai trys šimtai keturiasdešimt medžių 3,550 pigeons       trys tūkstančiai penki šimtai penkiasdešimt balandžių 4,000 armchairs    keturi tūkstančiai fotelių 5,240 songs          penki tūkstančiai du šimtai keturiasdešimt dainų 6,000 things         šeši tūkstančiai daiktų Puiku!  Excellent!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!
