photograph by Zuikis Puikis, 19 July 2008 (Wikipedia) English: Native home of Lithuanian poet Maironis, then at Bernaty, Rossienski Uyezd, Kovno Governorate, Russia; now in Bernotai, Raseiniai Rayon, Kaunas Region, Lithuania. Lietuvių: Maironio tėviškė. Dabar Bernotai, Raseinių rajonas, Kauno apskritis, Lietuva. Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Gintarė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Every summer the port city of Klaipėda holds Jūros šventė - The Sea's Festival. Šventė is the Lithuanian word for holiday, feast, or festival. Jūra is the word for the sea. According to the webpage Kadmusarts, the Sea Festival invites the locals and city guests to enjoy more than 100 events, in which over 600 singers and bands are involved. Something I’ve found difficult to understand is the word namas and its relatives. Today we’ll take a few minutes to go over namas, namo, namo, namai, namuose, namie, namų, namui, namams, namą, name! namas is the word for a house here is namas in vardininkas, singular I like this house very much šitas namas man labai patinka our house is in Vilnius mūsų namas yra Vilniuje here is my house čia yra mano namas the house was big namas buvo didelis the house is not old namas nėra senas he is as big as a house jis yra didelis kaip namas she is as big as a house ji yra didelė kaip namas a children's home vaikų namas namai is namas declined in vardininkas, plural namai can translate as either houses or home namai – houses namai – home first, let's use namai as in houses riverside paupys houses on the riverside namai prie paupio the yellow houses geltoni namai the houses are expensive namai yra brangūs now, let's use namai meaning home my home is in Vilnius mano namai yra Vilniuje your home is cozy tavo namai yra jaukūs I like your home man patinka jūsų namai context is important here some of these sentences could mean either home or houses namo is the word that expresses “to home or homewards“ and expresses movement to accompany lydėti to return sugrįžti to come back grįžti to go on foot eiti pėsčiomis I go home einu namo I will go home eisiu namo I will accompany you home aš lydžiu tave namo I go home at night einu naktį namo I said, I'm returning home sakau, aš namo sugrįžau I'm going back home (I came home) aš grįžau namo I'm going home from work einu namo iš darbo I went home on foot grįžau pėsčiomis namo who is going home? kas eina namo? now go home and talk to your husband dabar eik namo ir pakalbėk su savo vyru I want to go home! noriu namo! (note: at the time of this recording, Gintarė was planning a trip home to Lithuania and she was very excited to get going) Nežinau kodėl...ah, your family...it will be a party every day I think...um hum...yeah, it’s gonna be great! namo is the singular genitive of namas and it expresses possession...sweet! the house's location namo vieta the house's color namo spalva the house's price namo kaina the house's size namo dydis the house's appearance namo pasirodymas the house's garage namo garažas the house's doors namo durys namų is the plural genitive of namas and it expresses possession many houses daug namų several houses keletas namų the houses' location or the location of more than one house namų vieta the houses' color or the color of more than one house namų spalva in the following examples we're staying with the plural genitive, namų, but keep in mind that the plural vardininkas of namas is namai namai can mean houses or it can mean home so, if we decline namai, home, in the genitive, we get namų house arrest namų areštas home page namų puslapis a housekeeper namų šeiminkinkė I'm calling from a home telephone aš skambinu iš namų telefono he often ran from home labai dažnai bėgdavo iš namų This week is house-keeping week.

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 "Musical Instruments," the kanklės is an ancient, traditional stringed musical instrument of Lithuania. The kanklės was carved from a single piece of wood and it was played during sacrifices to the gods or as protection from evil or to keep death away. The best kanklės were made from old growth forests and the best time to cut wood for a new instrument was between a person's death and burial. Lithuanian kanklės http://ausis.gf.vu.lt/eka/instrum/chordoph.html Here is the second half of some more practice with the instrumental case. Now that you’ve learned how to say, “mes su” we’re going to show you another option. You can also say, I with the dog, aš su šuniu, but then you have to conjugate the verb to the first person. Let’s use the verb to sleep, miegoti. I sleep aš miegu the dog and I sleep in the bed mes su šuniu miegame lovoje the dog and I sleep in the bed aš su šuniu miegu lovoje the dogs and I sleep in the bed mes su šunimis miegame lovoje the dogs and I sleep in the bed aš su šunimis miegu lovoje So, you see you can say, for example, mes su Raminta miegame, Raminta and I sleep. If you use this form – mes – then you have to conjugate the verb miegoti for mes. If you want to say, aš, then you have to conjugate the verb miegoti for aš. Aš su Raminta miegu - Raminta and I sleep.
