Lithuanian Out Loud 0130 - Miesteliuose In The Towns

Miesteliuose In The Towns Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  In Latin novem is the word for nine.  Today we're in a new month!  In the old Roman calender November was the ninth month.  In Lithuanian this month is lapkritis – derived from lapas, the word for leaf and kristi, to fall.  Lapkritis is leaf falling month. According to Wikipedia, in Lithuania trees of special significance include oak (ąžuolas), birch (beržas), linden (liepa), and spruce (eglė). A veneration of oak trees comes from pre-Christian times, when they were of religious significance. An ancient oak tree in Stelmužė, thought to be at least 1,500 years old, is the best-known tree in the country. So far you've been introduced to the accusative singular and plural and the genitive singular and plural.  The locative singular for example, I'm in Vilnius                        aš esu Vilniuje Vilnius is in Lithuania            Vilnius yra Lietuvoje Berlin is in Germany              Berlynas yra Vokietoje Tokyo is in Japan                  Tokijas yra Japonijoje Delhi is in India                     Delis yra Indijoje Masculine nouns that end in –as change to –e in the locative singular.  For example, the city – miestas, in the city – mieste. In the plural locative the ending changes to –uose.  In the city – mieste, in the cities – miestuose. Here are the masculine endings for the plural locative: -as changes to –uose -is changes to –iuose -ys changes to –iuose -us changes to –uose -ius changes to –iuose vocabulary – žodynas a park           parkas a bookstore   knygynas a bar             baras an auto         automobilis a town          miestelis a pastry        pyragėlis a basket        krepšys a train           traukinys a market       turgus a museum     muziejus a convoy       konvojus a television    televizorius a fruit            vaisius a stone          akmuo a bowl            dubuo prašom pakartoti (-as) in the park            parke           in the parks         parkuose in the bookstore    knygyne           in the bookstores  knygynuose in the bar              bare                 in the bars           baruose (-is) in the auto            automobilyje in the autos        automobiliuose in the town            miestelyje       in the towns       miesteliuose in the pastry          pyragėlyje       in the pastries     pyragėliuose (-ys) in the basket          krepšyje         in the baskets      krepšiuose in the train             traukinyje        in the trains        traukiniuose (-us) in the market         turguje            in the markets     turguose in the museum       muziejuje        in the museums    muziejuose in the convoy         konvojuje       in the convoys     konvojuose (-ius) in the television     televizoriuje    in the televisions  televizoriuose in the fruit             vaisiuje           in the fruits          vaisiuose (-uo) in the stone           akmenyje       in the stones       akmenyse in the bowl            dubenyje         in the bowls        dubenyse examples pavyzdžiai birds are in the park           paukščiai yra parke birds are in the parks             paukščiai yra parkuose books are in the bookstore   knygos yra knygyne books are in the bookstores knygos yra knygynuose we can dance in the bar         galime šokti bare we can dance in the bars       galime šokti baruose the key is in the car               raktas automobilyje the keys are in the cars          raktai automobiliuose pigeons in the town                balandžiai miestelyje pigeons in the towns              balandžiai miesteliuose a cherry is in the pastry         vyšnia yra pyragėlyje cherries are in the pastries   vyšnios yra pyragėliuose bread in the basket               duona yra krepšyje cherries in the baskets         vyšnios yra krepšiuose people in the train                 žmonės traukinyje people in the trains               žmonės traukiniuose people in the market             žmonės turguje people in the markets             žmonės turguose a painting in the museum     paveikslas muziejuje paintings in the museums     paveikslai muziejuose ships in the convoy               laivai konvojuje ships in the convoys               laivai konvojuose dust in the television             dulkės televizoriuje dust in the televisions           dulkės televizoriuose worms in the fruit                 kirmėlės vaisiuje worms in the fruits                 kirmėlės vaisiuose a crack in the stone                traškėjimas akmenyje cracks in the stones               traškėjimai akmenyse water in the bowl                    vanduo dubenyje water in the bowls                  vanduo dubenyse Šaunu!  Great!  You made it to the end of another episode!  Puiku!  Excellent!
