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!   I'm doing well, and how are you? aš gyvuoju gerai, o kaip tu?   I'm living better than ever  aš gyvuoju geriau nei bet kada   I'm not doing bad       aš gyvuoju neblogai   tu hi, how are you doing? sveikas, kaip gyvuoji?   good morning, neighbor, how are you? laba diena, kaimyne, kaip gyvuoji?   how are you doing today?     kaip tu šiandien gyvuoji?   out with it, how are you?               pasakok, kaip gyvuoji?   jis a fleet laivynas   how is the Lithuanian fleet faring?  kaip gyvuoja Lietuvos laivynas?   justice         teisingumas    is there justice in Lithuania? ar Lietuvoje gyvuoja teisingumas?   does Lithuanian theater exist in America? ar lietuviškas teatras gyvuoja Amerikoje?   business, trade, occupation verslas   this business won't last long šitas verslas ilgai negyvuoja   ji why does one idea survive, while others die? kodėl viena idėja gyvuoja, o kita miršta?   a culture exists only in contact with other cultures kultūra gyvuoja tik bendraudama su kitomis kultūromis   the Lithuanian language survives not only in Lithuania lietuvių kalba gyvuoja ne tik Lietuvoje   a people, nation, race, nationality tauta   a hero didvyris   the nation doesn't exist without its heroes tauta negyvuoja be savo didvyrių   a heart                         širdis   she exists in our hearts           ji gyvuoja mūsų širdyse   mes still vis dar   we still exist, and I believe everything will be okay vis dar gyvuojame ir, manau, kad viskas bus gerai   still dar   as you see, we still exist               kaip matote, dar gyvuojame   we're doing well      gyvuojame gerai   we get along little by little gyvuojame po truputį   jūs how are you doing? kaip gyvuojate?   it's cool to see that you're doing well smagu matyti kad gyvuojate gerai   I only want to see how you're doing noriu tik pasižiūrėti, kaip gyvuojate   I'm happy that you are living well aš laimingas, kad jūs gerai gyvuojate   jūs how is everyone doing? kaip gyvuojate visi?   friends, how are you getting on?               bičiuliai, kaip gyvuojate?   jie for a long time ilgai   dinosaurs dinozaurai   do dinosaurs still exist? ar dinozaurai dar gyvuoja?   we cannot know why and how they survive negalime suprasti kodėl ir kaip jie gyvuoja   they exist in Lithuania     jie gyvuoja Lietuvoje   they didn't exist for long jie negyvuoja ilgai   jos the sun saulė   a spot, a stain dėmė   usually, normally paprastai   barely, hardly, scarcely vos   a few, several keli, kelios   sun spots can be large, but normally they survive scarcely a few days saulės dėmės gali būti didelės, bet paprastai jos gyvuoja vos kelias dienas   a rose         rožė   a garden sodas   a year metai   I have several roses in my garden, they exist for several years aš turiu keletą rožių savo sode, jos gyvuoja kelis metus   wind     vėjas   energy energija, energetika   a wind turbine vėjo turbina   a new thing                naujas dalykas   however, notwithstanding tačiau   foreign country užsienis   overseas, abroad užsienyje   a turbine  turbina   common bendras, bendra   long ago, for a long time, for ages seniai   already                   jau   In Lithuania wind energy is a new thing.
