About this episode

LL0282 – Gyvuoti To Exist

 

Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Gintarė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

 

According to the website www.balticreports.com, some Russians are going into Russian stores and putting stickers of swastikas on Lithuanian products.  The Russian government says this has happened, but is not widespread.  Shop owners remove the products from the shelves since not many people want to buy a product with a swastika attached.

 

Russian groups are placing the stickers on products because a Klaipėda District Court dropped charges against four youths who were arrested for displaying swastika placards. 

 

The youths were able to prove to the court that the swastika was a common symbol in ancient Lithuania, displayed on rings, bracelets and personal jewelry.

Today we’ll go over the Lithuanian verb gyvuoti – to be, to survive, to fare, to exist, or to live.

 

I want to give you a little warning before we go any further. The Lithuanian verb gyvuoti can be replaced in many situations with other verbs such as gyventi, egzistuoti, būti, išgyventi and others. When I first started putting together examples for this episode I wrote them all down. One by one almost all my examples were deleted by native Lithuanian speakers who said the phrases sounded strange and a different verb should be used. But, the purpose of this episode is to introduce you to gyvuoti, not the other verbs.

 

For example, keep in mind when we use the English verb “to survive” on this episode many other Lithuanian verbs might be more commonly used depending on the situation. But, again the focus of this episode is gyvuoti. Hopefully on future episodes we’ll be able to go over other verbs which can be substituted for gyvuoti.

 

So, keeping in mind we’re only focusing on gyvuoti, let’s continue the episode.
