We do love mushrooms but for some reason calling some person a mushroom is an insult.
u're a mushroom :D

Lenin is a mushroom
We use it the same way in Latvia 🇱🇻

As a lithuanian. I swear to God, if I was walking down the street and someone just smiles at me for no reason I seriously consider running in the opposite direction
I was confused when I moved to England and there’s just people smiling at ne

How well do you guys respond to waving?
I would be terrified if a stranger smiled at me, because I would think that he wants to fight or do something scary to me. I would hide from him and hope that I never see him again.
@@christopherdunstan1708 if you wave to someone they might smile at you and wave back, especially if theyre walking with friends you'll get lots of laughs and waves back
The video has a vibe like he is being interviewed about an encounter with some unidentified species and describing how they live 😄
Its true what he said though.
Yes, yes and yes! Love it
we're alien species
Thats because to us you guys are very different from Americans, so we are not sure what to expect when we interact.
As a Latvian, gotta say, for the most part he could have said it all about Latvia as well, so bralukas for real
There's half of our language in your languge and i love Latvians my sisters and brothers!
Respect to our Baltic brothers.

I am lithuanian myself, and what he said is very accurate and that suprised me. Honestly I wish lithuania was more recognized, it's an ancient language and honestly it would be interesting to see how people react to us, because mostly of my online friends dont even know the Baltic states or lithuania
Iam lithuanian aswell and i was shocked what he said i was really happy

@@Cortesevasive Egsacly,u understand,Lithuania is dieng out,its bad,we lucky that no body knows about it.
Lithuania is not very random language it is the very ancient one even predates the English (Language of Angels and Language of Spells)
Lithuania language originated from Indo -European ( Sanskrit )
Noo, both Sanskrit and Lithuanian originated from same proto-language. Our ancestors lived somewhere in between Europe and India, the two periferals and that is why it's called Indoeuropean. It's just some speakers went West (to Europe) and some speakers went East (to India). Sanskrit and Lithuanian language had no contact. They are similar because both languages didn't deviate much from the proto-language.
Oh, and also Lithuanian is the only living language of the two.
Ninth oldest language in world and second oldest europe, next to Basque.
@@shemica16 no one seems to be interested in the facts these days
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat how where did u read this
he meant that its a very random language to learn. if foreigners learn languages they learn mandarin, english, french, russian, spanish and arabic.
"Stand out like a sore thumb" at the same time looks 100% Lithuanian lmao
Hi, I am from Mexico and all this information is true. Lithuania is amazing, the food is really tasty, the country offers a lot of beautiful landscapes, the people is just beautiful, sightseeings, castles, history… this country is amazing!
I'm Lithuanian and what you said is 100% true. You made me smile and feel grateful!
Yes
well not everything is true. Lietuva doesnt mean land of rain. it is a joke but ig he thought its not.
JS well, it kinda does and its one of the name theories
Well that was far from truth.
World As War yep
I think the reason why we Lithuanians appear kinda cold is because the older generations grew up under the soviet thumb and learned to be very cautious and not trusting because honesty wasn't really popular back then, so when they became parents they passed down their wisdom to the gen Y and Z.
This asian tourist once smiled at me and complimented me after I helped her take a picture and it really freaked me out 😅😂
As a lithuanian even i cant bother learning the language properly
ture, myself got lowest grade from exam and almost highest in english.

@@nka2024 he didnt ask u
@@krypnot4817 he did, read the question
MinecraftGameplay no, to the interviewee good sir
as lithuanian myself, I really appreciate the accurate representation of my beloved country and its history :)
The people of Lithuania and Latvia really are nature oriented... perhaps greatly due to the fact they were the last two countries in Europe to be converted to Christianity, together with the fact they still have vast tracts of unspoiled wilderness and low population densities.
Regards, from a Brit living in beautiful Latvia.
Most honest review of LT ever!
Why they don't smile is because smiling is overrated
Hi you don't know me but here's an insight I'm Grace I'm from America, I clicked on this video learning about my ethnicity. My dad is Polish and Lithuanian. My mom is Amish. And we all were born in America. I am learning Lithuanian, Polish, German and Baltic so I can see my culture when I get older and feel like I can understand them.
Ty for reading have a lovely day or night♥️
Let me help you whit Lithuanian so if you wanna be like a true Lithuanian Say Blyat After Everyword and nahui sometimes thats all that lithuanians say Blyat Nahui Blyat Nahui
@@SubErminas god dammit Erminas. Stop lieing. We don't use these words. Sometimes old people use these words like "Blyat Nahui"
No. You don't have to swear to be Lithuanian, it's very immature tbf.
Poor liberal girl...
You already have a culture.
Wgaf
as a lithuanian I can say that your story is decently accurate, I am proud of you man
I'm Lithuanian and I as my other country fellows I can say that you did capture a great peace of information on our country 🧡 it was nice to hear all that from your point of view.
And the part of love for the nature you are so right 👍 when I was little my dad used to tell me to hug a tree any time I felt sad or lonely
Aw thats so sweet 🌻🌻
Much love and respect sent from Palestine 🌻💝
hearing this from a foreigner makes me think.. perhaps our country ain't that blunt huh, we do have interesting things
all countries have interesting things. greetings from Austria.
We should keep our self esteem, and grow up with that esteem without waiting to hear somebody from foreign countries, like ,,acception” of our authenticity.... It’s not your fault of such thinking, but we don’t need to wait a compliments from others, because we are already country with huge baggage of history and traditions, it’s just your duty to cognize it more deeply ❤️
It’s just my subjective opinion, but I don’t like when some lithuanians awakens about themselves only then, when hear that foreigners say same things about nation, what’s have been obvious before. Don’t want to say anything bad, just my insight after reading your comment ❤️ cheers!
Its so nice to hear others talk good about Lithuania. Makes me smile and proud
As a Lithuanian the connection to nature and the pagan roots is spot on, this was heavily intensified by the soviet deportations.
When the deportee's or their families came back, in order to make sure that the future generations would survive a lot of families continued to teach even the current gen Z/X generations how to farm, pick mushrooms, prepare drinking water, make jams, navigate in nature, what do to if you encounter wild animal and etc. Basically everything you would need to live and respect nature normally, and for you to be prepared if the country is occupied again your family would know how to survive.
Also, we love nature - not sure why. But if you go to the forest or field and breath in the air, you feel like a part of the nature. Especially if you do it in the forest, we even call the forest animals brothers and sisters.
I'm not Lithuanian but being living here for 2.5 years and I can say.. I love the country. The impression of this guy about people and country I also had it 😏
The language is so difficult but definitely I agree with him 😊when I try to speak Lithuanian people immediately smile and try to help me ☺️
I like how the second things is not to expect a warm welcome... he ain’t lying
About smiling in the street....Do you smile at people/strangers in the the street in the US??? I think it is only tourists who expect people to smile at them, especially tourists from a wealthy country.
I don't get the smiling thing. Smiling is supposed to be an expression of happiness, not the default face positon.🙄
Americans smile when they see each other for one simple reason...
They're American.
In UK it's enough just to look in to eyes of random person on the street and you will receive a smile. Not talking about other immigrants
When I see people (yes, I'm American), I often do smile at them. Because yes, I don't know them, but you never know if someone's having a hard day. At least in the USA, people will smile at others as a reminder that they matter in this world
@@alyssarogers4352 dont smile at people in Lithuania most will take it as a insult. Even i think people are laughing at me and that pisses me off
In Lithuanian there's a verb for lookinɡ for anythinɡ. For example the lonɡest words are- nebeprisikiškiakopūsteliautelėjantiesiems
Meaning- For the men(or other masculine nouns) who used to find enough wood-sorrels, but no longer do. And nebeprisikiškiakopūsteliautelėjančiosioms- For the women(or other feminine or neuter nouns) who used to find enough wood-sorrels, but no longer do.
I’ve always wanted to visit Lithuania as my paternal great grandparents moved to America when my grandma and her brother were young. This was a delight to listen to because I just closed my eyes and imagined what was being explained.
It's not that fun in lithuania the prices are really high so don't expect a lot
As a Latvian, i see Lithuania, i immediatley click
Braliukas
@@karolisbajercius7557 Sveiki :D
Nuostabi šalis! 😍
Pritariu
Indeed, its rainy here. Lithuanians themselves resemble the rain quite beautifully. We are cold and speak an ancient language that's hard to understand.
4:17 "lithuania means land of rain" No no no. Its a joke. Nobody knows for sure how the name came to be.
It came from leitis, leičiai (Warrior, warriors). Leituva, Lietuva means where the warriors lives.
I heard about that name come from lake and lake was named because of rain
"Rain here" is just a joke!

I wonder if this guy has ever been in Ireland. You can call Lithuania a Sahara desert comparing to amount of rain in Ireland 😁☺️
Yes, you're absolutely right 😆
As a latvian, i can relate to 90% of this! 😄
the small stretch of the island of Klaipeda is actually connected to the land that belongs to Russia and is called Kaliningrad Oblast not Poland
As a lithuanian i can confirm that its nice to know thst someone from a different country is trying to learn your language but if someone smiled at me out in the street id smile back
I'd really love to come to Lithuania
@@vokeadamx5778 well that's great you should def come here sometime :))
As a Lithuanian, we have a lot of rains here. You can also tell it with the name if you know Lithuanian. In Lithuanian ,, Lithuania '' is ,, Lietuva '' and ,, Lietus '' means rain. It's almost the same word.
"It does snow quite a bit in the winter"
I wish
Fr its barely been snowing
i"m lithuanian and i can say this guy knows lithuania very well :)
if i saw him in the street, i would actually think he is lithuanian too! haha he looks like lithuanian himself :) probably some european roots in ancestors
Yes potato
Im Lithuanian also
To anyone who hasn't had "jam" or ouagieně with hot water try it its really good
I see a lot of native Lithuanias watch foreigners talk about Lithuania :D
Love from latvia❤❤
A lot of things the same here-russians, food, language, nature and other stuff! Stay strong bros
I lived in Lithuania for 25 years and what I can tell you is that it really does not rain that much.
American here, and third generation Lithuanian. I learned to speak a little bit on my own. My grandparents were fluent though.
"Lithuania" does not mean "a land of rain". It's just one of many speculations but the origin of this word is still a mystery to this day.
In Latvian lietus means rain, so It instantly made sense to me Lietuva means land of the rain. Interesting that its not so.
Ya we like when you notice our country and trying and learn our language is amazing for us so we give you respect for that
If to compare average Lithuanian and average Londoner, Lithuanians like a angels:)
kodėl?
@@SoloDolo Nežinau kur jūs gyvenat, bet atvykite į Londoną bent savaitgaliui, kad pamatytumėte londoniečių 'kultūrą'. Geriausias laikas tai pamatyti per trumpiausią laiką yra nuo penktadienio pavakario ir iki labai ankstyvo sekmadienio.
@@SoloDolo go to UK islands to see it 😁 You'll be surprised😂
Simona Kersyte konkreciau, kas ten vyksta?
As a Lithuanian who has been living in the UK for two years now, I still can’t get used to people smiling in public 😂😂
Yes, we make all sorts of tea, salads and soups from herbs :) leaves and grass :D
haha that was fun to hear about stuff about myself :D and they are true ! thanks
Smiling and smalltalking to random people you don't know feels so weird to me. I think it's rational to be cold from the outside.
And yes, you can spot Americans here easily.
This guy looks like typical Lithuanian would look like. :)
Yes lmao
You have to realize the history of where they came from - under the thumb of the Soviets. Therefore, their stand-offishness to avoid trouble. Their 2nd free generation are more congenial.
Still, I love ❤️ 🇱🇹 - the rain... well I don’t think it rains any more than in Illinois. Sharing the same type of weather. That’s why a big population lives in Chicago area.
What came from under the thumb of soviets?
@@Habibas777 Lithuanians are soviet thumbnails.
Lol
I have to say one thing. Almost every person thinks that in lithuanian Lietuva means the land of rain. Actually, it is made from a lithuanian word ,,lieti'' that means put together or mix. And it was named that way because many native tribes in baltic territory were put into one country, Lithuania. Our great duke Gediminas did that. He order all the dukes to put all their lands together to form one country, to protect from the enemies.
it's not really known where the name Lietuva came from one explanation is from "land of the rain", the other one is as you said then there is a theaory it came from leitis, leičiai (Warrior, warriors - a social gruop of worriars subordinate to the Lithuanian ruler or the state itself), meaning Lietuva - worriors here.
Im from lithuania and im happy thet you like lithuania
As a real Lithuanian I can say, that this dude is absolutely right! We cool as fcuk
kinda true about the smiling thing, i bet many lithuanians who have been to england would agree with me that it was a really scary place to be in becouse of how nice everyone was
Wow you are so specific about everything , even as Lithuanian some of the things you have mentioned I am not aware 😄
he speaks good about lithania because he doesn't want to get beat up by local gopniks
marozai
You mean marozai, right? Gopniks are the Russian part of marozai.
Anyways, I totally agree with ya.
*Lithuania
my experiance lithuanians be like
" it's really hard to be a misanthrope and a romantic " lol
very fun to watch from a perspective of a lithuanian :)
Note, Lithuanians are not cold because they were in the Soviet Union. In fact many Soviet countries have some of the most openly friendly people in the world. Lithuanians like all Baltic and Nordic countries have a very reserved personality in public. No pretences needed.
Your pronuncination was amazing! Never heard anyone to pronounce cities and dishes so good.
That's very good thing, that someone still see something good in Lithuania. Most of people just under rate us without even knowing who we are 😁
The fact that we were a part of Soviet Union doesn’t change the way people are. “Their cold”. That’s what people say about Russia, Germany and many other countries. Doesn’t matter where, there will always be cold, warm, nice, not nice people.
No that's true that Lithuanians are very similar to other post-soviet societies, especially Russia and Ukraine, and Germany is a completely different story.
My mother is a Russian/Ukrainian woman and she hailed from Lithuania. It is so true. Seriously.
2:54 about cepelinai there is 2 styles of them one is city cepelinas that has little meatball inside mashed potatoe zepelin and the other is moms cepelinai :D where u have more meat than potatoes (but i would consider it to happen more on villages or small cities i mean small for Lithuania) ofc there are flour zepelins same thing but just flour housing meat not potatoes just considered to let others know
I'm from Lithuania,i love my country because many people are friendly.♥️♥️
LMAO
lmao
I'm Lithuanian and that is so well described. Loved that. Thank you
I agree 100 % I live in Latvia and it’s exactly the same.
Many true story about Lithuania, nice to lissening how another language talking about Lithuania
The “Neringa” strip alongside the coast that you can take a ferry to from Klaipeda does not connect to Poland, it connects with Kaliningrad. Just saying :)
Lithuanian language is related to Sanskrit (a classical language of India) Latin and Ancient Greek, many scientists come to Lithuania to study Lithuanian language.
I like the guy in the video he is really cool. Saunuolis!!!!!!
It is basically a very archaic indo-european language, with a whole lot of slavic influence, though luthuanians don't want to admit it.
I'm from India and wanna visit your beautiful country... I think there's no racism and people speak English?
LTU ahh walking down the country side so quite the only people you hear is the drunks at 10 o clock while walking down to the shop and they always call me over and say Ooo nori vodka blet.
part 2 coming soon
As a Lithuanian like yeah this is all true 😂
So nice to hear so much good about Lithuania 🥰. I think we are pretty critical too 😄.
i’m a lithuanian and all of this is true
“It’s made from potato, potato, and more potato” pretty much sums Lithuanian food up🥰
We love animals but they are not protected by law which really saddens me : (( animal cruelty is not considered as something important in the laws and proper actions are never taken....
Great video, very accurate and warm :)) It's funny how the guy even looks really Lithuanian himself :DD
This is the first time me hearing someone talk from America about Lithuania
Love from Lithuania
So nice to hear these things that are a true heart of our country. These are the things that are so special to me. I wonder if he would like to come and live in Lithuania? Or he preffer the US instead? 😉🤗🕺
Yeah lithuania is cool. We even make soups from grass
Thyme tea with cheese sandwich. Mmm... Reminds me my childhood.
I saw people callecting grass and making tea of it!! So true 😂... But we don't have that much rain anymore... these couple of last years - pretty dry. Other than that - awesome!!
Amazing
All true, great review, thanks ☀️
Loved this 🥰
Amazing video
Lithuania is not as catholic as people think, I mean it is because we have a lot of old ppl, but also - they do count people who "believe" simply because they got the ceremony done when they were babies.... so me and all of my friends and young ppl in general - do not believe in God and Catholic traditions etc but we still are being counted as Catholics officialy...
I can't believe about it raining for 170 odd days a year. It's meant to be snowy for at least a few months a year and there's plenty of sunshine in the country, too. Summer months reach weeks of daily above 30° temperature
Correction 4:58, It connects to Russia's Kaliningrad...
Russia does not exist, it's Koenigsberg
adorable video and this foreigner looks cute
Head cheese. I'm done!😂
Thanks you because i live in Lithuania
I am from lithuania
