Lithuanian Out Loud 0213 – Kaip Vadinasi Tas Filmas What Is That Film Called

Kaip Vadinasi Tas Filmas What Is That Film Called Hi there, I'm Jack.  In the last episode, episode 212, we went over tas, ta, tie, tos, etcetera.   In today's episode, that we'll get to in a moment, Romas and Daiva emphasized that even though in Lithuanian they have these words, you would never ask, kas tas? or kas ta? kas šitas? kas šita?, etcetera, when you don't know what something is.    In Lithuanian it's very simple.  You would say,    what is this?  kas tai?   what is that?  kas tai?   what are these? kas tai?   what are those? kas tai?   You could say, kas tai yra?  Or you could even say, kas čia, as in, what is this here? Or, kas ten, what is that there?   what is this here? kas čia?   what is that? kas ten?   what are these here? kas čia?   what are those there? kas ten?   Got it?  It's very simple.  If you don't know what something is, just ask,   kas tai? kas čia? kas ten?   But, hey, don't learn from my accented Lithuanian.  In a moment you'll hear Daiva and Romas repeat all of this.  Also, we'll leave a space after the English and before the Lithuanian so you can guess at the pronunciation.   Now I'll play our recording.  I asked Daiva to read what I had typed, "kas yra šitas?"   Now we'll start the episode where Daiva is correcting me, telling me you wouldn't ask the question that way.  Enjoy the show!   Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Daiva and I'm Romas, and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.   Where are you from, Daiva?  I'm from Kaunas.  Kaunas!  Alright, they speak the best Lithuanian there, I hear.     I'm not sure.  That's what I've been told!  That's what people from Kaunas told me.   Is it okay if I record you for Lithuanian Out Loud?  Yeah.  Okay, great.   Today's episode is a continuation of the last episode.  Let's get started.   Šitas or šita is the word for, this, as in, this near me.  Šitas is masculine, šita is feminine.  Now, let's ask the question,   what is this? kas yra šitas? but, palauk, no, but palauk, okay, well, I think nobody asks like that, kas yra šitas nobody would ever ask like this, okay they ask, kas tai yra kas tai yra kas šitas ne, no you would never say that? no, kas tai really? you don't have even have to tell like, kas tai yra? - kas tai, kas tai, kas tai, kas tai well, see, that's a good point to make then arba kas čia - kas čia okay, so, you would never really say, kas yra šitas, right?  no you would just say, kas tai yra, yeah, okay   this is a table tai yra stalas   so, you would never say, šitas stalas, no, not with a question   this is a table tai yra stalas   so, I am just asking a Lithuanian, what is this, kas šitas, or you just say, kas tai, kas tai, kas tai   so, I would say, kas tai?  uh-huh, tai yra stalas kas šitas yra - no, kas tai yra, kas tai yra, kas tai   okay, what is this?
