      Sincerely. This is modern "Lithuanian" language. A lot of time ago in Lithuanian Kingdom people spoke in Polish. After many events and years Samogitians created their own language which called "Lithuanian" as you can hear on this film. Regards.

      Andrzej, I wish you would love education as much - then you would know that what you've written here is a complete nonsense. Lithuanian language has vastly divergent dialects (Samogitian is just one of those dialects) with many archaic features - something that would be impossible if there would have been some massive language replacement that you claim.
      Just because some people also learned Polish during the time of Commonwealth of Both Nations doesn't mean that Lithuanian could have been completely extinct, just like now many people in Lithuania can speak English but it doesn't mean that Lithuanian is extinct now.

      Good. It was ironic joke. I meant your language is not too connected with the name "Lithuanian". Your baltic "not slavic" nation appropriated this name and that's the shame. During the commonwealth the nobility spoke in old Polish and old Belarusian. Only the minorities spoke in baltic language. It's funny to redo every names which isn't yours e.g. Kazimiežas Marcinkievičius, Hitleris, Stalinas, Pilsudskis etc. Belarusian people are the real Lithuanian. They know what was someones property.

      I know from history about the first and second wave of emigration to the US from the Russian Empire. believe me, this is a tragic page in history. a long journey into the unknown, the struggle for the former with other emigrants (especially the struggle with the Irish) and it was not a political / diplomatic struggle but a physical (as can be seen in the film "gangs of new york") job search, including mining some Lithuanians got into gold rush and died in the fight against other gold diggers.
      your grandmother and your grandmother's parents were people of strong will because only such people could survive in the 19th-20th centuries. USA. much more fortunate for those who fell to South America but here more for the period 1920-1929. working in the fields from morning to evening and slavery rather than work because most died during the voyage in the overcrowded holds of the ship, and when hit to South America immediately became indebted to the voyage, to the senior, and worked only for food.

    27:30 the subtitle says "He went towards the West" . But Jurgis says in Russian "Vostok" - "towards the East". In Lithuanian subtitles it's also "vakarus" which means "West" .

    Is one of the Russian soldiers being played by Vovka from Zero 2?)) He's overplaying, it seems, looking more like that Vovka from Naujininkai rather than a Russian policeman))

    • @Balticfolk
      @Balticfolk  7 лет назад +7

      It's him :)
      And the connection to Vovka is there but it's the other way round than you imagine.
      Archetypical Vovkas from places like Naujininkai do take after Russian immigrants, especially those involved in the power structures from the past: army, police, prison guards...

    Why did he use Belarusian words like "gaspadine" and "harelka"? I thought "degtine" meant vodka in Lithuanian... Or does it all happen on the borderlands?

    • @Balticfolk
      @Balticfolk  7 лет назад +9

      "Degtinė" is a newly coined word, it's a direct translation of Ruthenian harielka. Historically Lithuanians didn't drink vodka, instead the drinks of choice were mead and beer. It was only during the Tsarist occupation when vodka became more popular and at first it went by loanwords: arielka, branvynas, šnapsas...

    TEVYNE means "Motherland" (NOT fatherland) TEVYNE is in the feminine gender; otherwise it would be : "Tevynis" Fine film .

    • @Balticfolk
      @Balticfolk  6 лет назад +7

      The noun genders are non-translatable in English because none of the English nouns have them. English language has lost the endings of the words long time ago, in proto-Indo-European language from which both Lithuanian and English hail the grammatical gender used to be expressed precisely by the word's ending.
      The reason I've chose to translate Tėvynė as "fatherland" is because the etymology of this word coincides with that of Tėvynė (it's derived from the word "tėvas" meaning "father" - and not "motina" meaning "mother").

    • @someonewhosupportukraine
      @someonewhosupportukraine 4 года назад +6

      Gimtinė would be motherland, Tevynė (fatherland) tevas - (father)

    • @irenagrant-koch7159
      @irenagrant-koch7159 3 года назад +1

      In Lithuanian, most words ending with a vowel are generally feminine. Thiose ending with an "s" are generally masculine. In ancient times, Lithuania was a Matriarchal society. Some poets refer to Lietuva "Mano Motinele" (Lith. my mother). No-one refers to Lietuva as "my father". NEVER (Lietuva, mano tevas),
