In Lithuania your pet can talk, but cover your ears!  The only thing they want to talk about on the one day they can form words is the how and when of your death!  This lesson we learn how to say the word, you.  Important stuff that. 

tu                                  
you (familiar)

jūs                                 
you (formal)

kaip gyveni?                   
how are you?  ("tu" is implied here)

kaip tu gyveni?               
how are you?  ("tu" used here for emphasis)

kaip jūs gyvenate?          
how are you? 

kaip jūs gyvenat?            
how are you?
