Lithuanian Out Loud 0270 - Dirbu Darbo Dienomis I Work On Weekdays

from LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD

LL0270 – plural instrumental inagininkas part three Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Gintarė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. A bizarre story out of Lithuania concerns a man named Drąsius Kedys of Kaunas, Lithuania.     Mr. Kedys allegedly murdered Lithuanian District Court Judge Jonas Furmanavičius and a few hours later, the sister of his ex-girlfriend, Violeta Naruševičienė.   Police said that possible motives for the murders were either a bitter three-year-long custody fight or the claims by Drąsius Kedys that Judge Jonas Furmanavičius and other men raped his young daughter.   Drąsius Kedys had become a Lithuanian folk hero for taking the law into his own hands and murdering two people.  Street demonstrations were held and mugs and t-shirts supporting Drąsius were sold all over Lithuania.   His body was found in a Kaunas reservoir in April 2010.   Killer of judge, woman in Kaunas remains at large http://balticreports.com/?p=2444   Drąsius Kedys found dead in Kaunas http://balticreports.com/?p=15414   In the last episode we went over the plural instrumental case or įnagininkas.  Today, we'll go over some more examples using the plural instrumental case used in different ways.   Let's start with the days of the week.    Just a quick review, here are the days of the week in vardininkas   Monday pirmadienis   Tuesday antradienis   Wednesday trečiadienis   Thursday ketvirtadienis   Friday penktadienis   Saturday šeštadienis   Sunday sekmadienis   if you want to say something happens on a particular day of the week, you have to use the accusative singular   I work on Monday aš dirbu pirmadienį   on Tuesday began a new strike antradienį prasidėjo naujas streikas   on Wednesday lightning set fire to two buildings Antradienį žaibai padegė du pastatus   live jazz this Thursday! džiazas gyvai šį ketvirtadienį!   on Friday you can dance penktadienį tu gali šokti   why do we celebrate on Sunday rather than Saturday? kodėl mes švenčiame sekmadienį, o ne šeštadienį?   if you want to say something happens every Monday or every Tuesday, you use the instrumental plural   the lessons take place on Mondays pamokos vyksta pirmadieniais   selections will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays atrankos vyks antradieniais ir ketvirtadieniais   in December we will work on Wednesdays Gruodžio mėnesį dirbsime trečiadieniais   Salsa-mania happens on Fridays Salsamanija vyksta penktadieniais   court is closed on Saturdays teismas šeštadieniais nedirba   Julė works not only weekdays, but Sundays Julė dirba ne tik darbo dienomis, bet ir sekmadieniais   if you're talking about something that happens during a single day, you use the singular accusative   diena changes to dieną   during the day           dieną   I work all day         dirbu visą dieną   the judge sleeps all day         teisėjas visą dieną miega   in Kaunas it snowed all day         Kaune snigo visą dieną   what do you do every day?         ką darote kiekvieną dieną?   let's say you want to describe something that happens during the day, every day   here we'd use the instrumental plural of the word for day   dienomis   by days dienomis   during the days dienomis   during holidays švenčių dienomis   work time darbo laikas   work days darbo dienomis   I work on weekdays dirbu darbo dienomis   I sleep on holidays miegu švenčių dienomis   working time on holidays darbo laikas švenčių dienomis   open hours on holidays darbo laikas švenčių dienomis   on weekends and holidays I don't work savaitgaliais ir švenčių dienomis nedirbu   evenings or weekends go to the theater vakarais arba savaitgaliais eik i kiną   now let's describe something that happens in the evening   evening vakaras   evenings vakarai   in the evening vakare   this evening šiandien vakare   tomorrow evening rytoj vakare   Dear, maybe we can go tomorrow evening?
