Needs to be noted that Lithuanian is a pro-drop language. Since the endings already encode the grammatical gender, number, etc., it's simply superfluous to say "aš galiu", we often just say "galiu" (I can), "gali̇̀" (you can), "gãli" (he/she can). Drop-avoidance sounds robotic. However, if you don't feel secure with word stresses, it's better not to drop. That way, if somebody is confused about "ji gali̇̀", they will ask for clarification. And it's always best to be on the same page.
Great Lesson. You say that the second verb in a question/statement is usually the infinitive version of the verb. Is this also true if there are more than 2 verbs? For example, could I say: Ar tu gali man padėti sakyti? (Can you help me say) Meaning if I need help saying a word or phrase? Thank you. Thanks for the videos and the help. I’m really enjoying your content and learning the language.
You start from the vocative case. Easy. Next can be the locative case. It showcases the place where you are at; some expressions of time. Then, you take the nominative and accusative case and you construct sentences. Subject verb direct object. Then, you add the dative case; the indirect object. The instrumental case showcases with what you do / execute something. The genitive seems to be the most complex in several languages. It will take time to “get” all the usages of gramatical cases, but by building the bases, you will comprehend much faster the way they function.
Hey thank you for that! I had forgotten the grammatical term :) That is absolutely what that is. Sakyti focuses on the action itself, while pasakyti focuses on the completion of the action.

Sakyti ( imperfect aspect ) vs pasakyti ( perfect aspect ) ?
Hey thank you for that! I had forgotten the grammatical term :) That is absolutely what that is. Sakyti focuses on the action itself, while pasakyti focuses on the completion of the action.

We have the same thing in my language, but it works via consonant alteration.
