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 Wikipedia, the online free dictionary, The Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Lithuania resulted in the near total destruction of Lithuanian Jews living in the Nazi-controlled Lithuanian territories. Out of approximately 208,000 to 210,000 Jews, an estimated 195,000\u2013196,000 were murdered before the end of World War II.\xa0 The Holocaust resulted in the largest ever loss of life in so short a space of time in the History of Lithuania.

The Holocaust in Lithuania

\xa0
today we begin a series of episodes focused on pronouns and how they are declined
\xa0
this is a very big topic, so we'll do one episode per pronoun
\xa0
this episode will cover man\u0119s, the next episode will cover tav\u0119s, etcetera
\xa0
we\u2019ll start off with the most common declension, vardininkas or the nominative case, and what the pronouns look like
\xa0
we\u2019ve used these hundreds of times so it should be easy by now
\xa0
a\u0161, tu, jis, ji, mes, j\u016bs, jie, jos
\xa0
some quick examples;
\xa0
the nominative case
vardininkas
\xa0
I eat
a\u0161 valgau
\xa0
you understand (tu)
tu supranti
\xa0
he has
jis turi
\xa0
she can
ji gali
\xa0
you are (j\u016bs)
j\u016bs esate
\xa0
we talk
mes kalbame
\xa0
you all don\u2019t understand (j\u016bs)
j\u016bs nesuprantate
\xa0
they live (jie)
jie gyvena
\xa0
they want (jos)
jos nori
\xa0
by now, those should be easy
\xa0
now, the genitive case or kilmininkas and the same pronouns
\xa0
a\u0161 changes to man\u0119s
tu changes to tav\u0119s
jis changes to jo
ji changes to jos
j\u016bs changes to j\u016bs\u0173
mes changes to m\u016bs\u0173
j\u016bs changes to j\u016bs\u0173
jie changes to j\u0173
jos changes to j\u0173
\xa0
before we get to our examples, here are some prepositions that require the genitive case or kilmininkas
keep in mind that some of these prepositions can have entirely different meanings with other cases,
of course, here we're only looking at the genitive case

a preposition we've added to the bottom of this list is "po"
\xa0

\xa0
in the genitive case, po translates as "after"
\xa0
in the genitive case, or kilmininkas, the pronoun a\u0161 changes to man\u0119s
\xa0
laukti, like many other verbs, requires the genitive case
\xa0
