Lithuanian Out Loud 0143 - Galėti To Be Able

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 free Wikipedia page Romuva; The Quendlinburg Chronicle mentions a missionary Bruno of Querfort, who was killed along with 18 men by Yotvingians because of entering The Holy Forest.  This was the first time the name of Lithuania was mentioned in written sources.  Lithuanians came to history as very conservative believers of an ancient European pre-Christian faith, they preserved this religion until the 14th and 15th centuries.  They happened to be the last non-nomadic people in Europe practicing pristine Indo-European polytheism. In the 13th century Pope Gregory IX declared crusades against the Baltic peoples.  This led to the destruction of the Baltic faith.  Grand Duke Mindaugas was Christianized with his family and warriors in 1251 to get recognition from Christian Europe.  But, Mindaugas still worshipped pagan deities as the Hyperian Chronicle mentions.  He sacrificed to the Supreme God Andajus or Dievas, Perkūnas, Teliavelis, the god of blacksmiths, and Žvorūna, goddess of forests and hunters. Today we'll go over the Lithuanian verb galėti – to be able.  Here are galėti and negalėti conjugated in the present tense. to be able (can)              galėti I can                               aš galiu you can                            tu gali he can                              jis gali she can                          ji gali we can                            mes galime you can                           jūs galite you all can                     jūs galite they can (mm/mf)           jie gali they can (ff)                    jos gali   to not be able (cannot)   negalėti I cannot                           aš negaliu you cannot                     tu negali he cannot                       jis negali she cannot                     ji negali we cannot                     mes negalime you cannot                       jūs negalite you all cannot                 jūs negalite they cannot (mm/mf)     jie negali they cannot (ff)               jos negali vocabulary                     žodynas I would like                     norėčiau also                                 irgi to read                           skaityti to write                         rašyti to work                            dirbti if                                    jei, jeigu to leave                           išeiti to enter                            įeiti to sing                            dainuoti to cook                           virti to dance                          šokti to do                              daryti, padaryti to start                            pradėti slow                                lėtas to hear                           girdėti to finish                          baigti to eat                             valgyti to win                            laimėti to change                        pakeisti life                                 gyvenimas to say, to tell                 pasakyti when?                            kada? why?                              kodėl? to read                           skaityti a sentence                      sakinys polite                              mandagus to trust                           pasitikėti pleasant, nice                 malonus outside                            laukas to relax                           atsipalaiduoti all                                  visas to rest                             pailsėti dessert                           desertas to smoke                        rūkyti to sit                              sėdėti to write                          rašyti nor                                 nei anywhere                        bet kur to study                          mokytis wonderful                       puikus pork                               kiauliena aš I can read                     aš galiu skaityti I can write                       aš galiu rašyti I can work                       aš galiu dirbti if I can, you can too       jei aš galiu, gali ir tu I can't shut up               negaliu tylėti I can't read                   negaliu skaityti I can't write                   negaliu rašyti I can't work                     negaliu dirbti tu can you?                             ar gali? can you speak English?         ar gali kalbėti angliškai? can you understand French? ar gali suprasti prancūziškai?
