\xa0
Today we\u2019ll use the word, \u201ckeletas\u201d or several.\xa0 We\u2019re talking about an indefinite number of things.\xa0 When you talk about an indefinite numbers of things you use the plural genitive.\xa0

Just so everybody knows, Romas, what part of Lithuania are you from? \xa0
\xa0
I\u2018m from Dz\u016bkija, actually, it\u2018s very close to the border with Poland.\xa0 Only seven kilometers from the Poland border.\xa0 So, I speak Polish as well.\xa0 South side of Lithuania.\xa0 \xa0
\xa0
South side, like this...would it... \xa0 Yeah, southwest to be exact. \xa0 Southwest. \xa0 Uh-huh. \xa0 We have four major dialects in Lithuania, so I am Dz\u016bkas. \xa0 Dz\u016bkas. \xa0 Dz\u016bkas \u2013 that\u2018s your accent. \xa0
\xa0
That\u2018s my accent.\xa0 If I would speak it actually, but right now I\u2018m not using my accent.\xa0 Do you, hey if you want I can do another lesson here. \xa0 No, that\u2018s okay.\xa0 No, but, uh, our listeners are aware that there are different accents, so I just like to tell them... \xa0
\xa0
Yeah, as a matter of fact this summer I spent a couple of weeks up north, \u017demaitija, and I swear, you know, I could not understand them. \xa0 Oh, really. \xa0 And when they speak with their dialect...I said, all right speak proper Lithuanian or I will leave! \xa0 And what about Raminta, what accent would you say she has? \xa0
\xa0
Well, since she is from Vilnius, she has correct accent, she does not have accent\u2026it\u2019s Auk\u0161tai\u010diai but Auk\u0161tai\u010diai is probably the closest one to the proper Lithuanian language. \xa0 Mmm, Auk\u0161tai\u010diai, this is high...highland... \xa0 Yeah, auk\u0161tas is Lithuanian... \xa0
\xa0
And what does Dz\u016bkas mean? \xa0 There is no meaning for it.\xa0 I would say something...it would be a swear word, though. \xa0 Okay, uh, let\u2018s see, where did we leave off? \xa0
