In Lithuanian, veidas, means \\u201cface."\\xa0 Are you familiar with the popular Lithuanian magazine called Veidas?\\xa0 It\\u2019s amazingly similar to the U.S. magazines Time and Newsweek, bursting with full color photos, national and international news, charts, graphs, entertainment news, history, etc.
My hubby discovered this gem when he visited the webpsite Balticshop.com looking for a gift for some close Lithuanian friends.\\xa0 One way to get a subscription to Veidas is to go to Balticshop.com.\\xa0 They have a wide selection of Lithuanian gifts.\\xa0 Balticshop.com will also send you a large, full color catalog full of photographs of their Lithuanian gifts.\\xa0 They\\u2019re based in the U.S. and no I wasn\\u2019t paid nor did I receive any compensation to mention them on Lithuanian Out Loud.\\xa0 The Veidas magazine subscription, as I recall, wasn\\u2019t cheap.\\xa0 I think it was around $200.00 but our friends get the magazine every week for a year.\\xa0 It\\u2019s a special gift for a special friend.

Okey dokey!\\xa0 On the last lesson we went over feminine nouns in the genitive case or kilmininkas.\\xa0 Let\\u2019s do some more on the same theme so that we\\u2019ve really got it.

As we learned in episode 0025,
A\\u0161 amerikiet\\u0117 is a female saying, \\u201cI\\u2019m American"
A\\u0161 angl\\u0117 is a female saying, \\u201cI\\u2019m English"
A\\u0161 lietuv\\u0117 is a female saying, \\u201cI\\u2019m Lithuanian"
A\\u0161 rus\\u0117 is a female saying, \\u201cI\\u2019m Russian"

But, amerikiet\\u0117 can also mean the American woman or girl,
angl\\u0117 can also mean the Englishwoman or girl,
lietuv\\u0117 can also mean the Lithuanian woman or girl and
rus\\u0117 can also mean the Russian woman or girl.\\xa0
Does it all make sense?

So, let\\u2019s take the Lithuanian word for wife \\u2013 \\u017emona..
The name of the wife or the vardas of the \\u017emona
The word \\u017emona changes to \\u017emonos

pra\\u0161om pakartoti
please repeat

Alright!\\xa0 Now I think we have a very good understanding of how to change feminine nouns into the genitive case or kilmininkas.
Ready for a challenge?\\xa0 Please try to say it in Lithuanian Out Loud before and after me.\\xa0 Here we go!\\xa0 Pra\\u0161om pakartoti\\u2026
