@kristytamo yes, I mostly like all lithuanian food, but i don't like zepelinai and koldunai...! But theres so much good there, like grybu supe or kefiras(with loats of sugar, i cannot drink it a lot!!!!). Lol it seem that im going there only for food!!!!! ;DD
In Vilnius I was eating cepelinas three times a day! When I returned to the States I promised myself- never again! After a few weeks I missed cepelinas so badly I had to make some myself!
Lithuanians themselves do not have cepelinai very often, few times a year or even less (at least it was like that in my family). It takes a lot of time to make them :) And not everyone can make good cepelinai. Home-made are the best.
I've watched the video in which you explain the endings of the nouns.They are almost identical with the Greek ones,I think that has to do with the archaic character of Lithuanian. I see now in this video the endings in the plural for some of the foods are -iai. I have a question.The ending in -iai is for the feminine gender?Because if it is,it's the same with Greek! I thought Lithuanian was a difficult language,but now I see some patterns common it maybe not that hard.
Yes some scolars say that Lithuanian is the most archaic language among all the Indo-European banch languages. And they say that it greatly resembles Sanscrit.
If a person is into languages it is not that difficult to learn, however for English speakers it might be difficult to learn grammar as there are quite alot of struchtures English does not have.
The ending in plural for the feminine gender in Greek is also -ai in the nominative case.
Beeing a speaker of Greek ,I'm familiar with complex grammar strucrures and inflections,Greek grammar can kill people...
I watched also your videos with the inflection of the verbs "to have" and "to be".Are there only 3 tenses in Lithuanian?Although the past and future tenses seem hard,them beeing only 3 is a good thing!
I'm quite intrigued I'll watch your rest of your videos in time!
This is great motivation for learning as I can bring in my taste experiences to trigger memories. We have these products in the Russian stores of San Francisco which sometimes can be intimidating. Thanks for demystifying. You're awesome!

the ending -ai is for masculine plural words.
