Lithuanian tutorial - nouns 1

http://ltlessons.blogspot.com/... Hope will be ready for easier learning as soon as possible.So there is some information on how to distinguish masculine and feminine nouns in Lithuanian ...All the words mentioned in the video are in singular and nominative case as plural endings are different as well as other cases ...the most usual endings for masculine word:-as (namas - house, batas - shoe)-is (mėnulis - moon)-ys (obuolys - apple)-us (televizorius - TV set)the most common feminine noun endings:-ė (kėdė - chair)-a (siena - wall)Every rule has exception ...There are a lot of exceptions in the Lithuanian language.Here are few links ...1) http://indoeuro.bizland.com/tr... know why, but the link is diplayed with the space between balt/ and lithuanian.html, so you should delete it. You can read it for the sake of interest, however there are mistakes. and the sentence written in Lithuanian has lots of mistakes. It is written in text message style, like no ą č ę ė į š ų ū ž letters, so it's not good :)2) http://postilla.mch.mii.lt/Kal... Some more information about the history of the Lithuanian language (haven't read the whole article, but at least the begining seems ok to me :) )3) http://www.lkz.lt/startas.htmL... language dictionary - It is Lithuanian-Lithuanian dictionary, but still u can have a look if you are not sure about the spelling or accent in a word.Lietuvių kalboje yra tokių vyriškosios giminės daiktavardžių, kurių negalima priskirti nė vienam linksniavimo tipui. Jie morfologiškai, prozodiniais elementais arba morfonologiškai skiriasi nuo visų kitų daiktavardžio paradigmų. Tokių daiktavardžiųparadigmos vadinamos izoliuotomis. Tai vyriškosios giminės daiktavardžiai šuo, mėnuo, viešpats, žmogus.Daiktavardžio šuo (4 kirčiuotė) linksniavimas panašus į -uo klasės linksniavimą.Todėl gramatikose įprasta šį daiktavardį skirti prie daiktavardžių akmuo, vanduo. Valeckienė (1998: 320) jį priskiria dvyliktajai paradigmai, skiriamai pagal (e)n kamieną, o Ambrazas, red. (1997: 77) vienuoliktajai paradigmai pagal fleksiją -uo. Tačiaužių daiktavardžių fleksijos sutampa tik vienaskaitos vardininke (akmuo / šuo), kituoselinksniuose vyriškosios giminės klasės -uo daiktavardžių fleksijoms priklauso kamiengalis -e, kurio izoliuota paradigma šuo neturi (akmens / šuns, akmeniui / šuniui).

Hi! Thanks for the videos, they are the best here about lithuanian. About gender, english doesn't have any, at least morphologically. Sometimes they (my first language isn't english either : ), and it does have genders...) give gender to things, like calling a machine by 'she', or Death personified being male, but there is no gender concordance, like we would have, in 'the tall girl' versus 'the tall boy'.

My grandmother taught me a few Lithuanian phrases when I was little. Sadly I can only recall a few. Such as when she told me to clean up.
