    Labas! Labas! As an American of Lithuanian descent...I was thrilled to see this video. I still haven't made it there yet, but I plan to go in a few years. Thank you (Ačiū) so much for this video!
    PS: I don't speak Lithuanian fluently, my Mom and Daddy did. But we were taught when saying goodbye it was...Su Dievu...Go with God. Kind of like Vaya con Dios in Spanish.

    Aš esu amerikietis bet esu studijavęs lietuvių kalbos beveik 5 metus, Skrendau iš Sietlo į Vilnių ir reikia pasakyti kad tas miestas buvo gražus ir labai daug ką padaryti. Mano manymu lietuviai labai sąžiningi bet tylūs bet suprantu kodėl jie taip elgėsi. Siūlau visiems į Lietuvą keliauti. Buvau taip pat Kaune, tai truputį kitoks nei Vilnius.

      Wow, this is amazing! There are some mistakes, like "skrendau" is not a form that exists, but its understandable, because its "as skrendu (i fly)" so its easy to make that mistake, some words have very different forms, some are simple. The correct one is "as skridau (i flew)" from the root "skristi", then you might ask why isnt it "as skrindu (i fly)" and idk the answer to that, it may be an outlier. Im not very good at explaining grammar. Its so fun to see foreigners learn our seldom spoken language, you are awesome!

      Those comments are the reason, why you should consider stop learning the language. People will answer to you in English either way, so you should not bother too much, as it will be a waste of time and you won't be able to conversate in Lithuanian.

    Lithuanian has always looked so fascinating to me. I understand it's the most conservative Ianguage of the Indo-European language family, so it's the closest to the language spoken 5 thousand years ago that many prominent languages (including English, Italian, Russian, Greek, Farsi, Hindi etc.) descend from. There's even a surprising amount of words that look very close to Ancient Sanskrit, which it isn't particularly closely related to, just because those words have changed that little.
    That doesn't mean it hasn't changed at all or is exactly the same by any means, but there's more interesting linguistic glances into the past to be found.

    Was nice to see Klaipeda on the video. How i wish this video had been from a few years ago before we all came to visit my family.
    On a language note, I grew up during the change from Russian to Lithuanian in school. For most of the early 90s I tried to get by adding as is or os to the end of words and just hoping to be somewhat correct.
    I hope you made it to stora antis! Cant wait for the rest of your baltic journey!

    Don't forget to make the distinction between the nasal "e" soond and ė which is just a "normal" e sound.

    • @fidenemini111
      @fidenemini111 Рік тому +1

      "'ė" is actually a tricky one for English and Slavic speakers but it should be not a problem for Germans, it sounds exactly like "ä" in "später" or first "e" in German name Peter.

      True different dialects are there, but kavOS has a different ending to kavA, because it has a different meaning - a request/wish for a coffee.

    • @FullPounder
      @FullPounder 2 роки тому

      In Lithuanian you change the ending of a word to give it a different meaning. If you're just saying what it's called, you would say "kava", but if you're requesting/asking for coffee then you say "kavos"

      @Baranausko 6 місяців тому

      04:25 five - penki, while “penkios” is also five, but in feminine gender. Numerals have two forms, which are used depending on gramatical gender of the word which follows: vienas (masculine) - viena (feminine) (vienas vyras - one man, viena moteris - one woman; the words that have no reference to actual gender nevetheless depend to a gramatical gender: viena knyga - one book, vienas obuolys - one apple), du - dvi, trys - trys (no difference), keturi - keturios, penki - penkios…
