Hi there, I\u2019m Jack and I\u2019m Gintar\u0117 and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

According to Radio Vilnius: News and Current Affairs an Easter tradition in Lithuania centers around a swing.\xa0 The swings are large enough for more than one person.\xa0 Men would swing standing together.\xa0 Women would swing sitting and whichever women would swing the highest would be named the best housekeepers.
\xa0
today we\u2019ll work on the verb gerti
\xa0
Gerti is a transitive verb so it requires the accusative case or galininkas.\xa0 Of course, when we negate a transitive verb, such as negerti, we use kilmininkas or the genitive case.\xa0
\xa0
In Lithuanian a\u0161 geriu kav\u0105 means I drink coffee or I\u2019m drinking coffee.\xa0
