Published: Dec. 17, 2012, 11:44 a.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.

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.

\xa0

The Holocaust in Lithuania

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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

\xa0

\xa0

\xa0

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

\xa0

you'll remember we used po quite a bit with the instrumental case where it meant, "under"

\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
