Lithuanian Out Loud 0282 - Gyvuoti To Exist
LL0282 \u2013 Gyvuoti To Exist
\xa0
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
According to the website www.balticreports.com, some Russians are going into Russian stores and putting stickers of swastikas on Lithuanian products.\xa0 The Russian government says this has happened, but is not widespread.\xa0 Shop owners remove the products from the shelves since not many people want to buy a product with a swastika attached.
\xa0
Russian groups are placing the stickers on products because a Klaip\u0117da District Court dropped charges against four youths who were arrested for displaying swastika placards.\xa0
\xa0
The youths were able to prove to the court that the swastika was a common symbol in ancient Lithuania, displayed on rings, bracelets and personal jewelry.

Today we\u2019ll go over the Lithuanian verb gyvuoti \u2013 to be, to survive, to fare, to exist, or to live.
\xa0
I want to give you a little warning before we go any further. The Lithuanian verb gyvuoti can be replaced in many situations with other verbs such as gyventi, egzistuoti, b\u016bti, i\u0161gyventi and others. When I first started putting together examples for this episode I wrote them all down. One by one almost all my examples were deleted by native Lithuanian speakers who said the phrases sounded strange and a different verb should be used. But, the purpose of this episode is to introduce you to gyvuoti, not the other verbs.
\xa0
For example, keep in mind when we use the English verb \u201cto survive\u201d on this episode many other Lithuanian verbs might be more commonly used depending on the situation. But, again the focus of this episode is gyvuoti. Hopefully on future episodes we\u2019ll be able to go over other verbs which can be substituted for gyvuoti.
\xa0
So, keeping in mind we\u2019re only focusing on gyvuoti, let\u2019s continue the episode.
