Kaip Vadinasi Tas Filmas What Is That Film Called
Hi there, I\'m Jack.\\xa0 In the last episode, episode 212, we went over tas, ta, tie, tos, etcetera.
\\xa0
In today\'s episode, that we\'ll get to in a moment, Romas and Daiva emphasized that even though in Lithuanian they have these words, you would never ask, kas tas? or kas ta? kas \\u0161itas? kas \\u0161ita?, etcetera, when you don\'t know what something is.\\xa0
\\xa0
In Lithuanian it\'s very simple.\\xa0 You would say,\\xa0
\\xa0
what is this?\\xa0
kas tai?
\\xa0
what is that?\\xa0
kas tai?
\\xa0
what are these?
kas tai?
\\xa0
what are those?
kas tai?
\\xa0
You could say, kas tai yra?\\xa0 Or you could even say, kas \\u010dia, as in, what is this here? Or, kas ten, what is that there?
\\xa0
what is this here?
kas \\u010dia?
\\xa0
what is that?
kas ten?
\\xa0
what are these here?
kas \\u010dia?
\\xa0
what are those there?
kas ten?
\\xa0
Got it?\\xa0 It\'s very simple.\\xa0 If you don\'t know what something is, just ask,
\\xa0
kas tai?
kas \\u010dia?
kas ten?
\\xa0
But, hey, don\'t learn from my accented Lithuanian.\\xa0 In a moment you\'ll hear Daiva and Romas repeat all of this.\\xa0 Also, we\'ll leave a space after the English and before the Lithuanian so you can guess at the pronunciation.
\\xa0
Now I\'ll play our recording.\\xa0 I asked Daiva to read what I had typed, "kas yra \\u0161itas?"
\\xa0
Now we\'ll start the episode where Daiva is correcting me, telling me you wouldn\'t ask the question that way.\\xa0 Enjoy the show!
\\xa0
Hi there, I\\u2019m Jack and I\\u2019m Daiva and I\'m Romas, and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.
\\xa0
Where are you from, Daiva?\\xa0 I\'m from Kaunas.\\xa0 Kaunas!\\xa0 Alright, they speak the best Lithuanian there, I hear. \\xa0
\\xa0
I\'m not sure.\\xa0 That\'s what I\'ve been told!\\xa0 That\'s what people from Kaunas told me.
\\xa0
Is it okay if I record you for Lithuanian Out Loud?\\xa0 Yeah.\\xa0 Okay, great.
\\xa0
Today\\u2019s episode is a continuation of the last episode.\\xa0 Let\\u2019s get started.
\\xa0
\\u0160itas or \\u0161ita is the word for, this, as in, this near me.\\xa0 \\u0160itas is masculine, \\u0161ita is feminine.\\xa0 Now, let\\u2019s ask the question, \\xa0
what is this?
kas yra \\u0161itas?
but, palauk, no, but palauk, okay, well, I think nobody asks like that, kas yra \\u0161itas
nobody would ever ask like this, okay
they ask, kas tai yra
kas tai yra
kas \\u0161itas
ne, no
you would never say that?
no, kas tai
really?
you don\'t have even have to tell like, kas tai yra? - kas tai, kas tai, kas tai, kas tai
well, see, that\'s a good point to make then
arba kas \\u010dia - kas \\u010dia
okay, so, you would never really say, kas yra \\u0161itas, right?\\xa0 no
you would just say, kas tai yra, yeah, okay
\\xa0
this is a table
tai yra stalas
\\xa0
so, you would never say, \\u0161itas stalas, no, not with a question
\\xa0
this is a table
tai yra stalas
\\xa0
so, I am just asking a Lithuanian, what is this, kas \\u0161itas, or you just say, kas tai,
kas tai, kas tai
\\xa0
so, I would say, kas tai?\\xa0 uh-huh, tai yra stalas
kas \\u0161itas yra - no, kas tai yra, kas tai yra, kas tai
\\xa0
okay, what is this?

\\xa0

\\xa0
