I'm trying to learn lithuanian to get a scholarship (in vilnius). Actually, there are 3 opportunities for me: italy, lithuania or france. My guess is everybody knows french at my uni so i remain with italian and lithuanian. Until now, I was actually convinced I'll study italian, since I already understand the language, but I thought I should give lithuanian a try. And it sounds quite nice. Congrats for a very altruistic programme. And you're quite good at teaching.
Actually kristy, You would be surprised with the US. It is similar to France or Russia. My dad's side of the family is Lithuanian. The came to the US in 1910/11-ish. People tried to adapt as quickly as possible when they came here. If you didn't stay in Chicago, you kind of lost touch with language. My last link to it, my grandfather, died a couple of years back. Thank you for the videos, they are helpful.
Hello, I have a question. I'm from Chicago & we say "Da Bears" and the reason for this is that Chicago has a much lower portion of its population that is of English ancestry than other places and English is as far as I know, one of only 3 languages with the "th" sound. The other two being Icelandic and Greek (maybe Faroese). I know the "th" sound used to be common in the older Germanic languages but all but 2 or three of them lost it. Now English and Icelandic are both in the Germanic group
But Greek is in the Hellenic group. That made me think that the "th" sound may have been present in the Original Indo - European language. (Although Hellenic & Germanic are both in the Centum group so it may have arisen in the proto Centum language vs the Proto Indo European language). Now I know that out of all of the Indo European languages around today, Lithuanian is most similar to the original. Does it have the "th" sound anywhere in it?
No Lithuanian does not have the sound th as in think or this.
well it seems that u r quite interested in languages:) well i will try to search for smth and if i find why it does not have i will write.
Altough I am not sure, but sound th could have been introuced in English because of the history. As you know it has a lot of Roman and French words. and Danes influenced it as well.
No it wasn't introduced. English does have a lot of vocabulary from french but none of the Italic languages have it. It was fairly common in the older Germanic languages such as old Norse but most lost it.
Faroese has the "Ð,ð" letter ("edd") but it does not sound like "th" in English "though", neither as "th" in English "think",- in most cases mute; sometimes pronounced like English "v", rarely like English "g" in "god".. in some dialects (Suðuroy e.g. if i'm not wrong) it is prounced like "d" in practically all positions.
everyone who at least has some respect to the conuntry they live in should know the language. I am not talking about lithuanian. I saw u live in Ireland, u speak English. Someone who goes to Germany tries to learn German and so on.
For some ppl its not about being understood but about the roots of their families. If u were born in USA and had Russian family i bet u would start learning Russian as ur native language.
And besides It is WRONG to say everyone. As mostly older generation can speak Russian. An now more young ppl whould speak and understand English not Russian.
Many similarities to Sanskrit.

HAHAH WHY SHOULD ONE LEARN lItuanian anyway?? EVERYONE UNDERSTAND RUSSIAN IN THERE!!!!

u should better SHUT UP!!!!
everyone who at least has some respect to the conuntry they live in should know the language. I am not talking about lithuanian. I saw u live in Ireland, u speak English. Someone who goes to Germany tries to learn German and so on.
For some ppl its not about being understood but about the roots of their families. If u were born in USA and had Russian family i bet u would start learning Russian as ur native language.
kristytamo 3 years ago
At least some Lithuanians can say they know Russian not like Russians who live there and know only LABAS.
kristytamo 3 years ago
And besides It is WRONG to say everyone. As mostly older generation can speak Russian. An now more young ppl whould speak and understand English not Russian.
