Lithuanian Out Loud 0185 - Inagininkas Instrumental Case II

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 online article, "Baltic unrest reaches Lithuania," (this article recently removed from source – no link available)   Police fired teargas and rubber bullets to keep demonstrators away from the Lithuanian parliament on the 16th of January 2009.  Thousands of demonstrators protested the economic situation and the Lithuanian government's response to the economic crisis sweeping the world today. 15 people were injured and more than 80 were arrested in the violent clashes.   today we'll continue with our introduction to the instrumental case   the instrumental can also be used to describe a period of time in which something is happening   vocabulary                                            žodynas   a thing                                                   daiktas   to do sports                                            sportuoti   at present                                               šiuo metu   at this time                                             šiuo metu    nowadays                                              šiuo metu   during                                                    metu   in the time of                                          metu   at the moment I'm reading the book, "The Occupation Army in Lithuania"       šiuo metu aš skaitau knygą, „Okupacinė kariuomenė Lietuvoje" where do you live nowadays?                  kur šiuo metu gyveni?
