Mano Gyvenimas Puikus My Life Is Excellent

Hi there, I’m Raminta and I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

Today Raminta and I got an interesting email.  It seems we have been nominated for Persons of the Year by the news portal at Lietuviams.com in Lithuania.  If you would like to see us and our competition at the Lietuviams website just follow the link on the Lithuanian Out Loud blogpage.  Naturally, we’d love it if you have the time to go there and vote for us.  You have to vote some time in January.  No voting will be allowed in February.  How fun!

Ar jūs pasiruošę užsisakyti maistą?

Aš nežinau, ar picoje „Margarita“ nėra svogūnų? Aš nekenčiu svogūnų.

Ne, šioje picoje nėra svogūnų.

Gerai, pabandysiu šią picą.

Taip, šis patiekalas su svogūnais, bet mes galime juos nuimti.

Oi, puiku, aš pabandysiu tai be svogūnų, prašau.
