Lithuanian Out Loud 0282 - Gyvuoti To Exist
from LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD
LL0282 – Gyvuoti To Exist 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 website www.balticreports.com, some Russians are going into Russian stores and putting stickers of swastikas on Lithuanian products. The Russian government says this has happened, but is not widespread. Shop owners remove the products from the shelves since not many people want to buy a product with a swastika attached. Russian groups are placing the stickers on products because a Klaipėda District Court dropped charges against four youths who were arrested for displaying swastika placards. The youths were able to prove to the court that the swastika was a common symbol in ancient Lithuania, displayed on rings, bracelets and personal jewelry. http://balticreports.com/?p=19795 http://www.delfi.lt/archive/article.php?id=32970715 *** Today we'll go over the Lithuanian verb gyvuoti – to be, to survive, to fare, to exist, or to live. I want to give you a little warning before we go any further. The Lithuanian verb gyvuoti can be replaced in many situations with other verbs such as gyventi, egzistuoti, būti, išgyventi and others. When I first started putting together examples for this episode I wrote them all down. One by one almost all my examples were deleted by native Lithuanian speakers who said the phrases sounded strange and a different verb should be used. But, the purpose of this episode is to introduce you to gyvuoti, not the other verbs. For example, keep in mind when we use the English verb "to survive" on this episode many other Lithuanian verbs might be more commonly used depending on the situation. But, again the focus of this episode is gyvuoti. Hopefully on future episodes we'll be able to go over other verbs which can be substituted for gyvuoti. So, keeping in mind we're only focusing on gyvuoti, let's continue the episode. *** Here are gyvuoti and negyvuoti conjugated in the present tense. to be, to exist gyvuoti I exist aš gyvuoju you exist (tu) tu gyvuoji he exists jis gyvuoja she exists ji gyvuoja we exist mes gyvuojame you exist (formal) jūs gyvuojate you all exist jūs gyvuojate they exist (mm/mf) jie gyvuoja they exist (ff) jos gyvuoja to not be, to not exist negyvuoti I do not exist aš negyvuoju you do not exist (tu) tu negyvuoji he does not exist jis negyvuoja she does not exist ji negyvuoja we do not exist mes negyvuojame you do not exist (formal) jūs negyvuojate you all do not exist jūs negyvuojate they do not exist (mm/mf) jie negyvuoja they do not exist (ff) jos negyvuoja here are a few examples for you infinitive in the refrigerator, they can survive for many days šaldytuve jie gali gyvuoti daug dienų they can exist together jie gali gyvuoti kartu passion can survive without love aistra gali gyvuoti be meilės society, public, community visuomenė can society survive without morals? ar gali gyvuoti visuomenė be moralės? ...that is why the law should not exist ...tai kodėl teisė turėtų negyvuoti aš I'm doing well! aš gyvuoju gerai!
