LL0275 – Mokėti To Know How
Ready?
Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Gintarė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.
In a previous episode we described the knygnešiai, the Lithuanian book smugglers.
In 1905 Russian authorities recognized the book ban policy was a failure and repealed the anti-Lithuanian language laws. Shortly after, one of the book smugglers Juozas Masiulis opened his own bookstore in Panevėžys.
The bookstore and a chain of these bookstores still operate in Lithuania under his name. In Kaunas there is a statue dedicated to “the unknown book smuggler.”
Knygnešiai, or booksmuggler, Jurgis Bielinis was born 16 March 1846. This date is commemorated in Lithuania as the “Day of the Knygnešiai.”
Today we’ll go over the Lithuanian verb mokėti – to know how, to be able. Here are mokėti and nemokėti conjugated in the present tense.
