Hi there, this is Jack, Raminta and I would like to welcome you back to another episode of Lithuanian Out Loud.

Today we\\u2019ll continue working on numbers combined with nouns.\\xa0 This episode covers numbers that end in the number zero.\\xa0 On the next episode we\\u2019ll take a break from numbers and explore the verb \\u017ei\\u016br\\u0117ti \\u2013 to look at and ne\\u017ei\\u016br\\u0117ti \\u2013 to not look at.

Back in May of 2008, Ola Halvorsen, a listener from Oslo, Norway wrote us saying he loved to view the show notes for our episodes in iTunes.\\xa0 But, after episode 42 or so, they disappeared.\\xa0 Well, it took a few months to get it all done, but we tore down all the episodes that didn\\u2019t have show notes in the lyrics section, there were about 60 of them, added the show transcripts and put the mp3s back up.

So now, if you download the episodes using iTunes, you can right click on the episode, then click on \\u201cinfo\\u201d and you\\u2019ll see the episode\\u2019s show notes.\\xa0 You can even modify them for your own needs if you like.\\xa0
\\xa0
Now, here\\u2019s another awesome installment of Agn\\u0117 i\\u0161 Vilniaus, take it away Agne!

Sveiki, a\\u0161 Agn\\u0117.\\xa0 Today we\'ll learn how to say you don\'t like something or you want to say, that something is disgusting. If your Lithuanian friend asks you, "what do you think about the weather?\\u201d And you don\'t like it for any reason, you could say, "baisus kaip gyvenimas..." - literally - as awful as life.
\\xa0
Let\'s translate the words
\\xa0

baisus, baisi \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0
terrible, awful

kaip\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0
like

gyvenimas\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

k\\u0105 manai apie...? \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0\\xa0
what do you think about...

oras\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0

dress
\\xa0
Now let\'s say it one time slowly
\\xa0
baisus kaip gyvenimas \\xa0
as awful as life

Now let\'s see some examples:
\\xa0
What do you think about the weather?
K\\u0105 manai apie or\\u0105? - Baisus kaip gyvenimas

What do you think about this house? \\xa0 \\xa0
K\\u0105 manai apie \\u0161\\u012f nam\\u0105? - Baisus kaip gyvenimas

If the object you are asking about is feminine, you will say not baisus, but baisi:

What do you think about this advertising?
K\\u0105 manai apie \\u0161i\\u0105 reklam\\u0105? - Baisi kaip gyvenimas

What about the dress in this old photo? \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0
K\\u0105 manai apie suknel\\u0119 \\u0161ioje senoje nuotraukoje? - Baisi kaip gyvenimas

Try this expression out on your Lithuanian friends and see, how it works. I\'m Agn\\u0117 and I\'ll see you next week when we\'ll do some more Lithuanian from Vilnius.\\xa0 Ate!

keturiasde\\u0161imt arkli\\u0173 - forty horses

Hi there, I\\u2019m Raminta and I\\u2019m Jack 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\\xa0 -\\xa0 rugs\\u0117jis.

According to Wikipedia, Russia and Belarus have what are called Special Purpose Police Squads or OMON (Russian: \\u041e\\u0442\\u0440\\u044f\\u0434 \\u043c\\u0438\\u043b\\u0438\\u0446\\u0438\\u0438 \\u043e\\u0441\\u043e\\u0431\\u043e\\u0433\\u043e \\u043d\\u0430\\u0437\\u043d\\u0430\\u0447\\u0435\\u043d\\u0438\\u044f; Otryad Militsii Osobogo Naznacheniya).\\xa0 Their motto is "We know no mercy and do not ask for any."\\xa0 In May 1991 the Soviet Union still hadn\\u2019t recognized Lithuania\\u2019s independence and the OMON assaulted the Krak\\u016bnai border post.\\xa0 Approximately 30 Lithuanian officers were attacked and wounded including Gintaras \\u017dagunis who was killed.\\xa0 Two months later the OMON unit stationed in Riga attacked the Medininkai border crossing near the Vilnius-Minsk highway on 31 July.\\xa0 Seven Lithuanian officers, Mindaugas Balavakas, Algimantas Juozakas, Juozas Janonis, Algirdas Kazlauskas, Antanas Musteikis, Stanislovas Orlavi\\u010dius and Ri\\u010dardas Rabavi\\u010dius were shot and killed.\\xa0 These men were unarmed and they were all shot in the head execution style.\\xa0 Customs officer Tomas \\u0160ernas barely survived and today is disabled.

The men responsible for these cold-blooded murders are now in Russia.\\xa0 The Russian government refuses to hand them over to Lithuanian authorities.

prad\\u0117kime, let\\u2019s get started

Today we\\u2019ll continue combining numbers with nouns.\\xa0 In this episode we\\u2019ll focius on numbers that end in zero.\\xa0 If a number ends in zero, such as ten, twenty, 140 or 1,000, we use the plural genitive.
