Lithuanian Out Loud 0111 Beg - Jis Valgo Bulves He Eats Potatoes
Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.
According to the Wikipedia page, List of Lithuanian Gods; Teliavelis was a powerful smith who made the sun and threw it into the sky. This myth survived in folk tales up to the beginning of 20th century.
In the last few episodes we learned how to use the accusative plural and genitive plural in conjunction with a transitive verb – valgyti – to eat. But, we only did masculine nouns.
Today we’ll use some feminine nouns. Feminine nouns are declined in the plural accusative like this:
words that end in –a change to –as
words that end in –ė change to –es
now let’s go over some examples…
a carrot
morka
carrots
morkos
I am eating a carrot
aš valgau morką
I eat the carrots
aš valgau morkas
I am not eating a carrot
aš nevalgau morkos
I am not eating the carrots
aš nevalgau morkų
a sausage
dešra
sausages
dešros
you are eating a sausage (tu)
tu valgai dešrą

valgai dešras
you are not eating a sausage
nevalgai dešros

ji valgo daržovę

(now a conversation on whether or not people should eat squirrels - voverės)
keep in mind when you say aš valgau, you’re saying I eat or I am eating, jis valgo, he eats or he is eating, mes valgome, we eat or we are eating.
Also, if this all seems difficult, don’t worry, we plan to do hundreds or even thousands of examples using many, many verbs to make this easier for you.
Puiku! Excellent! You made it to the end of another episode! Puiku!
