Lithuanian Out Loud 0271 – Mes Su Narimantu Narimantas And I
from LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD
LL0271 – Mes Su Narimantu Narimantas And I Hi there, I'm Jack and I'm Gintarė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. According to the Wikipedia page, Užgavėnės, this is a traditional Lithuanian celebration that's held at the same time as Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Brazil's Carnival. The celebration starts with the burning of Morė, an effigy of winter. Participants wear costumes, folklore groups perform traditional plays, people dance and eat traditional foods. Many of the costumes worn during the festival represent devils, witches, farm animals, the grim reaper, etcetera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzgavenes photo: Užgavėnės 14 February 2010 photographer: Andrius Petrucenia (Wikipedia) Today we'll go over how to say things like Raminta and I, Narimantas and I, or the dog and I. The way you can express this idea in Lithuanian is different from the way English speakers do it. Lithuanians can say roughly, "we with Daiva" to express, "Daiva and I" or "we with Romas" to express, "Romas and I." prašom pakartoti, please repeat… we mes with su Evaldas is eating a pizza Evaldas valgo picą Evaldas and I are eating a pizza Mes su Evaldu valgome picą Raminta is sleeping in the bed Raminta miega lovoje Raminta and I are sleeping in the bed mes su Raminta miegame lovoje when you see the word "su" you know it's time to use the instrumental. What we'll do here is say something in English using vardininkas, then we'll change the sentence using įnagininkas.
