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.
I haven't heard much about Lithuania expect that it has become quite a popular place recently...I love these words, thanks for sharing
I really want to visit Lithuania one day😩😀
Nėra už ką* ☺️ Great video! Glad to see you visiting Lithuanian again!
as someone planning to visit the Baltics, this video came out at a great time.
Very educational, thanks :D
Never really heard Lithuanian until now. It sounds really nice. Well done Mark, you’ve made me interested in another language I totally didn’t think about before 😊
Iš one of the oldest languages.
Thank you!
I'll be there in January!
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!
How did you learn? I’ve been struggling because it’s very overwhelming for me.
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!
Thanks! Going to Lithuania tomorrow for the first time. Knew some words, but good with a refresher.
Can't ignore the small differences with Latvian I'm learning right now in my spare time.
I'm going to Lithuania this month 😮
Can't wait to try their foods 🎉❤
Off to Klaipeda in a couple of days :)
Thanks, very useful.
Awesome video
Nice, great 👍
This was neat!
Don't forget to make the distinction between the nasal "e" soond and ė which is just a "normal" e sound.
"'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.
😃😃😃
Excelente
Labas.....i like this. It's kind of cute and just rolls off you're tongue. Anyway Labas to all.
But in Tagalog (with the stress on the last sylable) it means "go away" 😃. Phillipinos living in Lithuania notice trhis immediately and used to make jokes about it.
@@fidenemini111 Thanks for commenting, yes, words are always different in other countries
Prasom! 🙂
WOW ' GOOD JOB SIR, KEEP IT UP, RESPECT 🙏 U, GREAT VEDIOE'S 👍, FROM SURANGA ( SRILANKA )
❤❤❤❤👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Friends from Lithuania. If we will be one powerfull country as previously it will be easier for all! Orzel&Pogon together.
kiek kojona not just kiek kainuoja :) im proud of this person :) very nice job :) soooooooo bad in Lietuva ? that you left ?
I would definitely love to visit Lithuania, I hope it’s not difficult getting a Visa permit from Nigeria 😢
I guess there are different dialects because my grandma used to say kavos for coffee
Lithuanian language has 4 dialects
@@shadowgirl393 wow I did not know that
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.
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"
03:01 Old Town - senamiestis (accent: senámiestis), not “senamiestas”.
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…
Kas is what or who.
if someone gives you something or compliments you, just sneeze to show your gratitude 🤧 _AČIU_ !!
Well, it’s ačiū
any chance for a Latvian video?
Good, but your pronunciation is not like lithuanian's
Accent sounds a bit Italian?
Not sure about that, but I always got asked if I was Spanish when speaking Lithuanian in public.
How to travel in Lithuania now I am ni Minsk which doucment need
I am a 35 year old Moroccan guy looking for a Lithuanian girl for marriage

Why?
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 soviet union
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 i know lithuania is lithuania but people outside often don’t know
@@piotr1997 Well, most popular smuggled item inside via border was Lithuanian books so it makes sense why it's not cyrillic. xD
hope russ gives it to you good ukerlovers
I think you're being a bit too xenophobic.
