Published: Sept. 15, 2007, 4:01 a.m.

Are you familiar with the Lithuanian version of Wikipedia?  It's called Vikipedija.  You should take a look.  Even if you're a novice learner of Lithuanian you'll find it interesting.  Take a look at the photos and descriptions.  Vikipedija's address is listed below.  Enjoy!

In today's lesson we learn some new greetings.

Sveika!                   health! (to a female)
Sveikas!                 health! (to a male)
Kas naujo?             what's new?
Nieko                     nothing
Ate!                       bye!
Sveiki!                   health! (to a group)
Sveikos!                 health! (to a female group)
Sveikutė!                health! (diminutive - between girls only)
