Akropolis Mall north of Vilnius is a must see attraction, but if you buy something, make sure it's what you want; it's very difficult to return gifts. Akropolis was Lithuania's first super-mall. It's a one of the fun sites to see if you visit Vilnius. Today you learn how to say "I'm from..." This is our first introduction to the genitive declension or kilmininkas. Kilmininkas is the most used declension after vardininkas or the naming case.
