Published: July 23, 2012, 12:49 p.m.

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.

\xa0

Every summer the port city of Klaip\u0117da holds J\u016bros \u0161vent\u0117 - The Sea's Festival.\xa0 \u0160vent\u0117 is the Lithuanian word for holiday, feast, or festival.\xa0 J\u016bra is the word for the sea.

\xa0

According to the webpage Kadmusarts, the Sea Festival invites the locals and city guests to enjoy more than 100 events, in which over 600 singers and bands are involved.

\xa0

Something I\u2019ve found difficult to understand is the word namas and its relatives.

\xa0

Today we\u2019ll take a few minutes to go over namas, namo, namo, namai, namuose, namie, nam\u0173, namui, namams, nam\u0105, name!

\xa0

in the following examples we're staying with the plural genitive, nam\u0173, but keep in mind that the plural vardininkas of namas is namai
