Lithuanian Out Loud

Hi there, I’m Raminta and I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.   According to the online article, “Purse or Curse: Lithuania Turns To Witch To Pursue Deadbeats,” the Lithuanian collection firm, Skolų Išieškojimo Biuras has employed a witch doctor to persuade debtors to pay their debts.  No word yet if this is convincing anyone to pay up.   Today we’ll continue with examples of the instrumental case or įnagininkas.  At the beginning of each group we’ll give you some vocabulary.   A preposition, “po” means “under” when used with the instrumental case.  “Po” can be used with other cases to mean other things.  But, today we’re focused on the instrumental case.   In this episode we’ll divide the examples into groups based on the noun suffixes.   (-as) a telephone                                                   telefonas   internet                                                        internetas   an airplane
