Lithuanian Out Loud 0197 - Kokia Bjauri Diena What A Nasty Day

Kokia Bjauri Diena What A Nasty Day   Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.   The 200 litas or du šimtai litų banknote depicts Vydūnas, a famous Lithuanian writer, philosopher and playwright.  The reverse side features the Klaipėda Lighthouse, or Klaipėdos švyturys which no longer exists.   pradėkime, let's get started   In episode 0017 we learned the word ką?  As in, what?  Or, what did you say?   When you use koks or kokia you're asking for the characteristics of something; you're asking for a description of something.  Kokia tavo profesija?  What is your profession or what are the characteristics of your profession?  Kokia tavo nuomonė?  What is your opinion?  What are the characteristics of your opinion?   As we saw previously, koks is used with masculine nouns and kokia is used with feminine nouns.   Koks or kokia can also be used not as a question word but more as an expression of surprise or exclamation.  You can say things like;   what a nasty day!                                                 kokia bjauri diena!   what an ugly storm!                                             kokia bjauri audra!   what an ugly car!                                                kokia bjauri mašina!   profession                                                              profesija   what's your profession?                                      kokia tavo profesija?   what type of profession do you have?           kokia jūsų profesija?     opinion                                                                 nuomonė   what's your opinion?
