I was in Lithuania last year for the holidays. It was a fantastic experience to walk the same streets as my kin from so very long ago. It is now one of my favorite destinations in all of Europe. The people, food, culture, national pride, etc... All very wonderful.
Lithuania, so beautiful & possessing such a rich & diverse history. I've long been both intrigued & interested in the Baltic countries & specifically, Lithuania. For me personally, I first fell in love with this country, after meeting a most wonderful & hospitable human being from Lithuania. I met her as a Royal District Nurse here in Australia & as soon as we met, she & her kind husband welcomed me like family into their home. I was actually blown away by this lady's open, trusting nature, kindness & easy going, friendly attitude toward me, a complete stranger inside her home. It gets even better, although @ the time, I certainly didn't expect or ask anything of her, except to be there to check in on her & to provide any required care to her. Nonetheless, upon each ensuing visit thereafter, I was treated to a full traditional Lithuanian lunch, which she'd prepared for she, her husband & I, as she was expecting me. She'd cook the most delicious meals, usually consisting of potatoes, carrots, onions, beetroot, pork or fish & plenty of sour cream. Fresh homemade salads were always on the menu too. I did feel somewhat guilty, as I didn't expect free lunch & such hospitality, but she would not take "no" for an answer. She cooked for me, this most delicious chicken & noodle soup & I recall some onion & tasty herbs in there too & what tasted like a delicious stock for the liquid. It was so tasty, but my favourite was her fried potatoes in butter & she'd sometimes add some freshly crushed garlic, salt & cracked black pepper. Her food was so similar to mine actually & I guess I could totally relate to the traditional cuisine. I loved this woman & she me & to this day, over 15 yrs later, I still remember & think of her very fondly. I suspect she's now passed on, as I was then in my 20s & I'm now in my 40s. She was a kindergarten teacher back in Lithuania & she was well suited to this role, as she was very intelligent, genuinely kind & patient. I have met many wonderful humans abound, but nobody quite like this lady. Her heart was pure gold & her arms always open for me & for others. She was like my 2nd Mother. I have since decided, that I am going to fly to Lithuania in memory of my dear long lost friend & I wish to fully explore Lithuania. Funnily enough, I took a number of DNA tests & all revealed that I am part Baltic. If only I'd known back then, I'd have shared this surprising info with her, but I doubt she'd have cared, as she loved everyone, no matter who they were or where they came from. She would always tell me to respect & love & just love & never allow adversities to cloud my better judgement, or even to never pre-judge those I don't know. Such sharp lessons for a younger me. She was the true teacher, so to all Lithuanian's, if you are all akin to my dear long lost friend, then Lithuania must be a cracking place to be, not to mention, it's such a lovely country & I really love the "old town". Very quaint & sweet. These Expoza Travel videos are always super interesting & informative & I've been watching for years now. I do think however, that many require "updates", albeit, I still love the old videos & I hope they will always be available to view, as life was somewhat different back then & in a good way. Peace to all.✌
For those who may not be fully aware, the Lithuanian language is a very old language & a very beautiful one too. Many Linguists possess specific interest in the Lithuanian language, mainly because it's considered to be the oldest surviving Indo-European language. This thought alone, I find completely fascinating & reminds me of the Hungarian language, which is also very old & completely unique within Europe, albeit it shares similarities with both Khanty & Mansi (West Siberian dialects). (Hungarian belongs to the Ugric branch of Finno-Ugric languages.) Interestingly, the Lithuanian language retains many archaic features, which are believed to have been present in the early stages, of the Proto-Indo-European language.
I want to visit Lithuania soon as this country suffered under communist dictators for long periods and now they have taken a stand against DICTATORS OF CHINA. All who support freedom and justice should visit Lithuania as a token of appreciation to their country and at the same time enjoy beautiful scenery and people of Lithuania.
It's been many years since I've been to Lithuania. I visited a number of time courtesy of Sir Alf and lady Diana, whom I will never forget. Truly a wonderful, historical place which is also very beautiful. The video missed many interesting places such as the art gallery (?) of the centre of Europe, plus other interesting and religious places including one where the Virgin Mary appeared! Love you Lithuania! x
I plan to visit in 2021 and this is the best video I have found yet. Through my studies and *working on the language a bit* it could have been an hour longer and still kept one in awe.
Yes, Lithuania has a long history. In here no big mountains but over 900 small hills on which has been castles of woods and it reminds for us and what makes us to proud that Lithuania in the past has been the biggest and strongest country in Europe when the country's size were started from the Baltic sea until Black sea where is know Belarus, Ukraine and some parts of Poland and Russia. Our nature is simple and beautiful: rivers, lakes, forest. Everywhere is so green because we respect the trees that's why the same Vilnius is the greenest city of Europe.
The Maspeth Vyciai, Knights of Lithuania Council 110, honors and pays tribute to the President the honorable GItanas Nauseda, the republic's people, her culture, religion and her proud history. You have friends and family in Maspeth. We invite the President, all Lithuanians and friends of the Baltics to visit Transfiguration church in New York City which is the oldest lithuanian parish in New York and home to the Vyciai. Our love and loyalty to Lithuania shall endure time. God Bless Lithuania and may God Bless America. Aciu labai Dr. Paul-Michael Kazas
While some people are harsh here, I'm forced to agree that pronunciation of some words might've ruined otherwise Great video guide to Lithuania. some of the tips from another comment š - sh ž - zh č - ch There is 3 kind of vowels of each one (except "o"): u - is a short one that I can't think of an example in English. ų - is a bit longer one and usually in the end ū - is the longest one it would be like -oo in a "spoon". Same goes for e (like in f-E-nce or sh-E-lf), ę, ė (the last one is also pronounced a bit different) i - like "in", į - a bit longer and Y in Lithuanian is the longest "i"- like in "Eel" g - is always pronounced like in "google", never like in "George" j - is like "ya-cht", not "jet"
I enjoyed the video, but the pronounciation of Lithuanian words (names and locations) was really bad. Even as a native speaker I was struggling to understand. Next time, please take the time to ask the natives how to pronounce the words correctly and give the instructions to the narrator. Travellers who like your videos will certainly appreciate the authenticity and reliability.
I couldn't agree more. The "Na moo' nas" was bad enough, but "See Ay Lee Ay" instead of "Shiau-lay" (Šiauliai)? That's just beyond unforgivable. Great video, though. I'd think this video just might bring some tourism our direction.
Labas rytas ,I was just in Lithuania,I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional kind of food specialities. I only have a warm heart towards them.
According to the United Nations, Northern European countries are Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. wkpd
I were live in Lt for 25 years Education is in hi level like post soviet country, to invest in something you will always find, Lithuania is missing investment, construction, it, transport, import-export, fashion and more
@@paintzombie1724 good. I am located king for someone who can help me with Immigration help for*non -EU* Investment and students who wish to pursue higher education in Lithuania in English medium of instruction.
I kinda suspect that the rulers of Lithuania were eventually called grand dukes just because they conquared some Rus souls where Rus people had those dukes. Lithuanians were not Christians for a long time, that's why only two pf them tried to become recognized as kings in the West, and only one of the two got a crown.

While some people are harsh here, I'm forced to agree that pronunciation of some words might've ruined otherwise Great video guide to Lithuania. some of the tips from another comment
š - sh
ž - zh
č - ch
There is 3 kind of vowels of each one (except "o"):
u - is a short one that I can't think of an example in English.
ų - is a bit longer one and usually in the end
ū - is the longest one it would be like -oo in a "spoon".
Same goes for e (like in f-E-nce or sh-E-lf), ę, ė (the last one is also pronounced a bit different)
i - like "in", į - a bit longer and Y in Lithuanian is the longest "i"- like in "Eel"
g - is always pronounced like in "google", never like in "George"
j - is like "ya-cht", not "jet"
🤘🤘🤘
Lithuania is a beautiful country with rich nature and glory history (magnus ducatus of Lithuania). All are wellcome!!
very good .if there is display about name of place ,it would be good as we are outsider
After pandemic I go there

I have to agree, even for people who are planning to visit Lithuania it is a bad thing, how are they gonna find a place that locals never heard of?
Labas rytas ,I was just in Lithuania,I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional kind of food specialities.
I only have a warm heart towards them.
nice video. there is something didn't mentioned in this video. Lithunia is small country who has lots of lakes, forests, beautiful nature

Checking this video out after I found that my dna consist of 4.7% Baltic. Hope to pinpoint exact locations.
is stepsys a common last name in Lithuania ?
Never heard Stepsys but ending sounds Lithuanian my surname ends in ys
Yeap, its sounds like lithuanian last name :)

funny how not a single name was pronounced correctly. Especially Šiauliai :)
Kos Tas funny how you don’t understand that the presenter isn’t Lithuanian so our words are foreign to him, so he won’t pronounce them right....
Are you an idiot or what?
Are you here for the pronunciation? Moron
@@saqibsheikh1517 well, your obviously an idiot, not question there. correct pronunciation in an Educational Video is obvious requirement you moron.
@@SamogitianLithuanian at least, he coul hage types it on google translator. It pronounces the word correctly
There were dukes NOT princes. It’s the Grang Duchy of Lithuania NOT the Lithuanian Kingdom.
Crypto-Pole writing?
I kinda suspect that the rulers of Lithuania were eventually called grand dukes just because they conquared some Rus souls where Rus people had those dukes. Lithuanians were not Christians for a long time, that's why only two pf them tried to become recognized as kings in the West, and only one of the two got a crown.
Anyone else trying to see where the ball brothers bout to be 😭
Please, fix the pronunciation of the names and places. They sound nothing like they should. Even as a native I hardly understood them.
Im born here im watching this because i never had been there

So..... You were born in Lithuania, but you have never been in it?
