Dear Jack and Raminta:
I thought you might like to know that our Lithuanian professor, Radvyda Vasvilait\\u0117, sent us your link when she sent us her class schedule.\\xa0 LCC International University has a large number of new North American professors every year who try to learn as much Lithuanian as they can.\\xa0 Your entertaining podcasts keep my mind busy while I do housework and other boring jobs.

Thank you!

Geri Henderson, PhD
Chair, English Department
LCC International University
Klaip\\u0117da, Lithuania

Thanks Geri for the nice words and we\\u2019ll try to keep the episodes coming.\\xa0 Okay, Agn\\u0117, your turn, take it away!!!

Hi, I am Agn\\u0117, and welcome back for some more Lithuanian phrases. If you see any angry Lithuanian, you could ask him: kod\\u0117l tu toks piktas kaip \\u0161ir\\u0161\\u0117? - Why are you as angry as a wasp?
Lithuanians have a lot of expressions with the word angry - piktas.

But let\'s start from the very beginning.
Here is a vocabulary for "angry expressions"

kod\\u0117l?
why?

toks
such, so

toks... kaip...
as... as...

piktas, pikta
angry

\\u0161ir\\u0161\\u0117
wasp

ragana
witch

velnias
devil

neb\\u016bti
to not be

neb\\u016bk
don\'t be

and here are the expressions:

piktas kaip \\u0161ir\\u0161\\u0117
pikta kaip \\u0161ir\\u0161\\u0117
piktas kaip velnias
pikta kaip ragana\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

Let\'s say them one time slowly:

piktas kaip \\u0161ir\\u0161\\u0117
as angry as a wasp
if you are addressing a male

pikta kaip \\u0161ir\\u0161\\u0117
as angry as a wasp
if you are addressing a female

piktas kaip velnias
as angry as the devil
commonly is used for a male, but it is not a mistake to say pikta kaip velnias, addressing a female

pikta kaip ragana
as angry as a witch
commonly is used for a female, but it is not a mistake if you wold use it for a male, saying piktas kaip ragana

Let\'s go over some examples:

kod\\u0117l jis toks piktas?
why is he so angry?

kod\\u0117l jis toks piktas kaip \\u0161ir\\u0161\\u0117?
why is he as angry as a wasp?

kod\\u0117l ji tokia pikta?
why is she so angry?

kod\\u0117l ji tokia pikta kaip ragana?
why is she as angry as a witch?

tavo t\\u0117tis piktas kaip \\u0161ir\\u0161\\u0117
your dad is as angry as a wasp

vairuotojas piktas kaip velnias
the driver is as angry as the devil

tavo draug\\u0117 pikta kaip ragana
your girlfriend is as angry as a witch

neb\\u016bk piktas (or pikta) kaip ragana
don\'t be as angry as a witch

That\'s it for today, see you next time! Enjoy it and don\'t be angry :)

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 Today we\\u2019re in the month of September which in Lithuanian is rugs\\u0117jis.

In the navy a submarine tender is a ship that supplies and supports submarines.\\xa0 In 1961 when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were still forceably part of the Soviet Union, Captain Jonas Ple\\u0161kys sailed his submarine tender out of Klaip\\u0117da and into the Baltic Sea.\\xa0 Soviet authorities had ordered the ship to travel to Tallinn, Estonia but Jonas sailed to Gotland, Sweden and defected to the west.\\xa0 The Soviet Union convicted Ponas Jonas in absentia and his sentence was death by firing squad.\\xa0 Jonas died in California in 1993 of old age.

His story is believed to be the basis for Tom Clancy\\u2019s book The Hunt for Red October.\\xa0 In the book and in the movie submarine captain Marko Ramius is known as, \\u201cThe Lithuanian.\\u201d\\xa0 The submarine captain sails his ship to the west and defects.

Just an interesting bit of trivia; in the beginning of the book Captain Marko Ramius kills his KGB political officer.\\xa0 The Soviet officer\\u2019s name?\\xa0 Ivan Putin.\\xa0 That\\u2019s funny.\\xa0

prad\\u0117kime, let\\u2019s get started

Now we\\u2019re going to study something I didn\\u2019t understand for a very long time.\\xa0 Numbers that end in the number one.\\xa0 For example, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91, 101, 11,391, 635,271, excluding 11.\\xa0 Eleven is the only number that doesn\\u2019t follow this pattern.

Before we get to the meat of this episode, here are some nouns for you;

The interesting thing about 21, 31, 41, etcetera, when paired with a noun, for example, 21 days, 31 cities, or 41 books, the noun has a singular form.

Do you see what we\\u2019re getting at here?\\xa0 If the number ends in a one, then the noun is singular.\\xa0 The only\\xa0 exception is eleven or vienuolika.\\xa0 Eleven does not follow this rule.\\xa0
