i’m getting a locket engraved for my lover, who i call my honey. she’s deeply in love with her lithuanian ancestry! is it tacky to say mano medus to call her my honey? i know it’s not a typical term of endearment, and i don’t want the direct translation to be off

My name is Ella. Would it be different in Lithuanian?

REGISTRATION ENDS SOON!! - NOVEMBER 1ST

Hi everyone! Sveiki! My name is Richard, and I’m a PhD student at Vilnius University. I’m excited to invite you to join my Lithuanian course! :)

This course is ideal for elementary and pre-intermediate learners (A1/A2) who already have some basic knowledge and have completed an introductory Lithuanian course. Throughout the program, we’ll focus on practical, real-life situations to help you improve your Lithuanian language skills.

The course starts on November 4th and is offered at a special price of 75 euros, which is a 50% discount compared to regular Lithuanian courses at Vilnius University. Plus, by participating, you'll be contributing to my PhD research, which I truly appreciate. As a foreigner who has successfully learned Lithuanian fluently, I am passionate about finding ways to improve the teaching methods for this language—this passion is what inspired my PhD project.

You can find more information about the course and the registration form through the link here: https://www.flf.vu.lt/en/lsk/news/short-lithuanian-language-course-at-level-a2

If you have any questions, feel free to write a comment below or email me at: richard.udes@flf.stud.vu.lt

I look forward to seeing you in class! Iki greito pasimatymo! :)

Richard

Hi guys, Is it a big mistake to use Vardininkas instead of Šauksmininkas in everyday speech? For example, saying Ponas Tomas instead of Pone Tomai. Does Labas Adomas sound awkward to you? Do native Lithuanian speakers ever speak this way? :)

This is a question and a suggestion. I am also learning Interslavic and they have an online dictionary with a (most likely generated) declension table. Does anything like this exist for Lithuanian? If not, would it be hard to create?

I found this song in Teodoras Narbuttas t.1., in Polish version (129 - 131 p.)

It is in old spelling, does anyone know the proper modern spelling and how this song is sung? Thank you.

Aussrinne swodba kėle; Perkuns pro wartus ijoja. Aużolą żalą parmusze.

Aużolo krauj's warwedams Apszlakste manu draubużius, Apszlakstė wajnikeli.

Saułes dukryte werkiant. Surinko tris mettėlius, Pawytusus lapėlius.

O kur mamyte mano, Draubżius iżmazgosiu? Kur kraują iżmazgosiu?

Dukryte mano jaunoji, Ejk pas tą Ezerati, Kur tek dewynes Uppátes.

O kur momyte mano, Drabużelius dzowiszu? Kur wėje iszdzowiszu?

Dukryte tame Darżatij! Kuraug' dewynes rozates.

O kur momyte mano Drabużeis apsiwilkszu? Baltosus iżneszosiu?

Dukryte toi Dienélej', Kad spis dewynos saułeles.

I've seen lithuanians say it's an idiom or a common saying but what does it translate to? Have you ever heard/seen this phrase?

Hello, does anyone have any Lithuanian language learning applications to recommend? I know couple of phrases, but I'm very new to the language, so any recommendations would help.

Thank you

What did you do exacly? I am working with my textbook, glossika and clozemaster but I feel like I have no returns from it.

Edit: my grandpa’s family, native to Lithuania, taught my mom and her siblings that Tete means aunt. We’re thinking maybe it’s either regional, very informal (kind of like a kid calling their dad “pop” or something), or a childish thing

Growing up I would refer to my Lithuanian aunt as “Ta-tee” (ta pronounced like in the word tabby) and my mom spells it like Tete. The pronunciation might be very American-ized because my mom and aunt do not speak Lithuanian. She says it means aunt in Lithuanian but I’ve only ever seen it as “teta,” pronounced mostly like teh-tuh. Is tete commonly used?

Hlw , Good to see you guys are reading my post 😄.I am an international student studying at Vilnius university.I am from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 .I want to learn and explore Lithuanian language but don't know how to start and where to start? Please advise me 😊 As i am student so now on the beginning i prefer to use free resources.

Hi! I am cabin crew and would like to know some formal greetings I can say to people when they arrive and leave the plane, during the morning, afternoon and evening. Things that would sound natural to hear from a cabin crew.

Thank you :)

what's some popular lithuanian slang that's used frequently!

Hii, I'm from Ireland and currently in the process fo learning Lithuanian, and would love a buddy I can talk to in Lithuanian regularly to help me! Is anyone else in the process of learning? (Fair warning I am very much a beginner)

I enjoy most of the Lithuanian singers I’ve been exposed to through Eurovision and currently have Donny Montell and Jessica Shy on repeat. I’ve seen Monika Lynkite in concert here in L.A., but would like to get more music recommendations y’all could possibly have.

Is there some place I can freely talk to Lithuanians and practice how to speak

I am a Lithuanian who lives in England and only speaks english in school and russian to my parents and and have been interested in learning but i cant really focus and the language is very confusing to me i don't really have any way to learn except youtube and taking notes i only know a few words any advice

How to say microwave in lithuanian. Other household translations would be appreciated as well. Ačiu

How do I say, You are loved, In lithuanian?

Hello from Australia I have the last name medutis and can’t find anything about it online until my families immigration here and another record of immigration to the USA but can’t find anything about it from Lithuania apart from cake recipes. Can anyone help?

Example:

Me: I thought you were going to take your break?

Him: Nahka, I was going to nahka, but then this thing happened nahka.

He says it along side almost everything and I'd love to know why 😂

I completely understand the language since i was little, but i am not sure what i can start using to get better at speaking, writting.

I heard (mostly in songs) ačiū labai, but people i know says labai ačiū. Can you use either one of them?
