Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Gintarė 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 195,000–196,000 were murdered before the end of World War II.  The Holocaust resulted in the largest ever loss of life in so short a space of time in the History of Lithuania.

today we begin a series of episodes focused on pronouns and how they are declined

this is a very big topic, so we'll do one episode per pronoun

this episode will cover manęs, the next episode will cover tavęs, etcetera

we’ll start off with the most common declension, vardininkas or the nominative case, and what the pronouns look like

 

we’ve used these hundreds of times so it should be easy by now

aš, tu, jis, ji, mes, jūs, jie, jos

some quick examples;

the nominative case

vardininkas

I eat

aš valgau

you understand (tu)

tu supranti

he has

jis turi

she can

ji gali

you are (jūs)

jūs esate

we talk

mes kalbame

you all don’t understand (jūs)

jūs nesuprantate

they live (jie)

jie gyvena

they want (jos)

jos nori

by now, those should be easy

now, the genitive case or kilmininkas and the same pronouns

aš changes to manęs

tu changes to tavęs

jis changes to jo

ji changes to jos

jūs changes to jūsų

mes changes to mūsų

jūs changes to jūsų

jie changes to jų

jos changes to jų

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

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

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

in the genitive case, po translates as "after"

in the genitive case, or kilmininkas, the pronoun aš changes to manęs

laukti, like many other verbs, requires the genitive case

to wait for              

laukti

are you waiting for me?

ar lauksi manęs?

wait for me! (formal)

palaukite manęs!
