Thanks. Could you add more of practical repetition in lithuanian of speech patterns illustrating the topic. Also the "mantra" you repeat every lesson wasting our time would at least make more use if it were in lithuanian. In total, could you make your English explanations concise and add lithuanian pokalbis into your lessons. Thank you.
Those that are made from adjective - yes. There is another ending - yn, but it is an old way of talking and people don't talk that way a lot anymore. Maybe I will do lesson about it in the future, but I wouldn't pay too much attention to it. It is different for adverbs that are made from nouns. Those don't have a specific ending, but more on that in the future.
@@spokenlithuanian7186 By the way, checking the five declensions of the Lithuanian nouns, I realised that the endings of them make a lot of sense. For instance, the genitive case plural for all nouns is just - ų and the accusative case in singular is the last vowel of the noun in singular ą, ę, ų etc. There are more tricks like that.
Hello Edgaras, I just wanted to thank you for putting together such a great course on Lithuanian language. I have a busy schedule and was struggling to find a comprehensive source of knowledge that I could consume at my own pace. Finding your channel was a break through as I mainly only have 20-30 minutes daily while driving and other methods just aren't applicable this way. I tried studying in a group, I was lagging behind the rest of the group there, I also spent quite some time trying to get results using Mondly app, which turned out to be time and money waster, it can probably supplement your existing knowledge, but doesn't help building it up in a consistent manner. In your videos you often ask what are the struggles that your students facing, for me it's dealing with native speakers replies. With the help of your materials I became capable of composing simple sentences, but Lithuanians are so happy to help, that often verbal communication goes way beyound my level of comprehension, so keeping up with the discussion becomes a struggle. Your audio book improved that to certain extent, so more audio materials to follow through, would be a great practice. If you could compose another audio-material to repeat after you, it should help in extending vocabulary and learning by heart language patterns, which in turn should improve speech perception. I would be happy if you do. Thank you once again for all your effort. I really appreciate your course. Have a great day!
As a native Lithuanian speaker I would never use "per laimingas", only "per daug laimingas". Adjectives with - ing - suffix usually need "daug/mažai" as the helping words: "per daug/mažai laimingas/giminingas/pelningas/nuostolingas/skaitlingas" and so on. Yes, it's grammatically correct to not use "daug" but it sounds very weird.
Absolutely! That is the thing though with Lithuanian language that we as native speakers break a lot of our own rules and tend to use or not use certain aspects of the language just because it would sound weird otherwise. It makes our language very hard to teach :D. I find myself constantly trying to navigate on that line :)

Do all adverbs in Lithuanian have the same ending - ai?
