Lithuanian Out Loud 0093 Beg - Septyni Akmenys Seven Stones Updated: 2008-06-27 05:04:00 Description: Septyni Akmenys Seven StonesHi there, I’m Raminta and I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Something you have to see in Vilnius are the, Gates of Dawn or Aušros Vartai. Between 1503 and 1522 the city was protected by a wall which included three towers and nine gates. This is the last of the nine gates to survive and it‘s beautiful. dawn aušragate, gates vartaithe gates of dawn ordawn’s gates aušros vartai --- pradėkime, let’s get started Alrighty! Now let’s continue working on plural nouns but today the nouns are a little unusual. These verbs end in –uo. Remember masculine nouns have to be matched to masculine numbers and feminine nouns have to be matched to feminine numbers. Akmuo is the Lithuanian word for stone. Most nouns that end in –uo are masculine and they have unusual endings in the plural. Thanks to Eglė Ribalkaitė of Klaipėda, Lithuania for reviewing this episode for errors. a stone akmuoa stone akmuoone stone vienas akmuotwo stones du akmenysnine stones devyni akmenysfive stones penki akmenysseven stones septyni akmenys dubuo is the word for bowl the bowl dubuoone bowl vienas dubuotwo bowls du dubenysfour bowls keturi dubenyssix bowls šeši dubenysthree bowls trys dubenys raumuo is the word for muscle the muscle raumuoa muscle raumuoone muscle vienas raumuotwo muscles du raumenysfive muscles penki raumenysthree muscles trys raumenysfour muscles keturi raumenys ruduo is the word for autumn autumn ruduofall ruduoone autumn vienas ruduotwo autumns du rudenysseven autumns septyni rudenyseight autumns aštuoni rudenysthree autumns trys rudenys asmuo is a word that means person a person asmuoone person vienas asmuotwo people du asmenysfive people penki asmenysnine people devyni asmenyseight people aštuoni asmenys šuo is the word for dog the dog šuoa dog šuoone dog vienas šuotwo dogs du šunysnine dogs devyni šunysfour dogs keturi šunysfive dogs penki šunys sesuo is unusual, it’s the word for sister and it’s the only feminine word that ends in –uo a sister sesuoone sister viena sesuotwo sisters dvi seseryseight sisters aštuonios seserysfive sisters penkios seserys Coming up we’ll continue with some more unusual nouns in the plural.
