  • Hi,

    how do the following sound to you?

    "Kaip eina?"

    "Ka weiki?"

    "Kaip stow su tawim?"

    "Kaip taw eit?"

    -------------

    "Man gerai eit."

    "Man labai pictai eit."

    They are Prussian-Lithuanian round 1870.

  • @edda46

    They sound a like Lithuanian but LT does not have 'w' and also some expressions are not valid, but maybe from the context it is possible to understand, but I assume all of then are: How are you and one of them What are you doing

  • @kristytamo

    Prussian-Lithuanian had W for modern V. Mazvydas already had W.

    The quoted sentences are from

    -Wörterbuch der littauischen Sprache by Friedrich Kurschat (Director of the Lithuanian Seminar in Königsberg) 1870

    -Der kleine Littauer by Friedrich Becker 1866

    Both books are descriptive and for German learners of Lithuanian, therefore I think this is genuine (Prussian-)Lithuanian.

    The books can be downloaded at the epaveldas site.

  • @MagicWarrior100

    Cool!

  • Ah! I've been learning Lithuanian and I have to say, it's fun!

    Thanks for the videos; they're very helpful! :]

  • Would any of the words changed if you wanted to use Jūs? To be polite or when talking to more than one person?

  • @KaytiPita10

    Yes, For the polite form you have to use the second person in plural which is jūs (meaning you all) as well as you polite form.

    so

    Kaip laikaisi? - Kaip laikotės?

    Kaip gyveni? - Kaip gyvenate?

    But

    Kaip tau sekasi? - Kaip jums sekasi?

  • aciu :D

  • @doryan69

    Sometimes I do need suggestions for my videos, as my ideas are getting on the low side. And you were lucky:) I had time to do it :D

  • man patinka! :D

  • Your accent is noticeably unique. I think Lithuanian have the most unique accent in Europe. I was talking about this with a friend from Vilnius, there is a certain high pitch to Lithuanian girls who speak English. I don't know about men, but every girl I've heard has the same accent on the words, the same high pitch almost metallic sound. It's very hard to explain, but its easy to tell the difference to me between a Lithuanian and a Polish or Russian accent. It's very nice to hear.

  • @youngbuck189

    Ha!!! Thank you. Well I think that my accent has improved since I came to GB. And ppl usually class me as eastern European or even few times someone said Canadian.

    While living in Lithuania I never rolled my "r" when speaking English, but since I live in Scotland, I got used to rolling "r".

  • @kristytamo We don't roll our "r" in the U.S. at all, hardly ever. It seems stupid since Latin America is our neighbor where the "r" is rolled a lot I guess it shows how culturally isolationist we are. What I found so surprising about Lithuanian, there are rolling R. I never expected in an Indo-European language. I just assumed it was not something to be found, but I was wrong. You are much better than me at it. : )

    Anyone from Eastern Europe is Polish where I am from, big stereotypes here.

  • can you please put the words up or in the description

    aciu

  • @kristytamo aciu

    it helps me when i can see and hear the words

    you are wonderful

    have a nice day

  • I liked your translation of neblogai.

    Awesome as always.
