Do you have time for this short lesson now, on \u017einoma?\xa0 Sure!\xa0 \u017dinoma!

Hi there, I\u2019m Jack and I\u2019m Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.\xa0 We\u2019re not teachers, but we do the best we can.\xa0 Don\u2019t we dear?\xa0 We do.\xa0 We do\u2026

Dangus is the Lithuanian word for the sky or heaven.\xa0 Dievas is the word for a god.\xa0 According to the article, \u201cLithuanian Mythology\u201d written by Gintaras Beresnevi\u010dius of the Lithuanian Institute of Culture and Arts, the Lithuanian God of the sky was Dangaus Dievas.

Long ago Dangaus Dievas gave Perk\u016bnas his powers of thunder and lightning and afterwards Dangaus Dievas fades into the background and becomes an inactive deity.\xa0 Perk\u016bnas is pictured as a middle-aged man.\xa0 He has a large axe and arrows.\xa0 Perk\u016bnas rides on a two-wheeled chariot pulled by a team of goats, similar to the Norwegian God Thor.

Very nice, nicely done, very good!\xa0 Well done!
