Hi there, I\\u2019m Jack and I\\u2019m Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language \\u2013 and we\\u2019re excited about it too!
Today we\\u2019re in a new month!\\xa0 In Latin September means seven and septimus means seventh.\\xa0 In Lithuanian this month is rugs\\u0117jis.\\xa0 In this month we add the prefix s\\u0117ti \\u2013 to sow.\\xa0 This time of year the grain is sown, germinates and overwinters in the field.
Acording to Wikipedia, the white stork (gandras) is usually felt to be the national bird of Lithuania. Lithuanians believe that storks bring harmony to the families on whose property they nest; they have also kept up the tradition of telling their children that storks bring babies.
Were you told that?\\xa0 Yeah
Did you believe it?\\xa0 Yes\\u2026by the way, I saw in America, next to one house, it was a stork with babies, so I guess in America you have that tradition too.
Yeah, tradition, yes, but we don\\u2019t actually tell our children this.
Mhmm, but maybe some families do because it would not make sense to have a stork with babies in front of the house and not believe in that\\u2026I don\\u2019t know\\u2026
Stork Day is celebrated on March 25 with various archaic rituals: gifts for children, attributed to the storks, such as fruits, chocolates, pencils, and dyed eggs, are hung on tree branches and fences; snakes are caught, killed and buried under the doorstep; straw fires are lit. Lithuania is a beneficial and important habitat for these birds: it has the highest known nesting density in the world.
Stork Day, do you celebrate Stork Day, Dear?\\xa0 No, I don\\u2019t.
The primary focus of this episode is to cover some unusual nouns that don\\u2019t follow the normal rules when they are declined.
This episode will focus on just three words.\\xa0 All three are feminine.
