Lithuanian grammar (1) - Present tense

[@videomokykla]

A new video series "Easy Lithuanian" will come out next month. You'll be able to learn the present tense step-by-step, starting with the most simple conjugation and then moving to more difficult ones with complicated spelling and sound alternations (t > č, d > dž). All further grammar material will be published in this series. There will be separate videos for each conjugation/noun ending/adjective declension, so you'll have the choice to learn the things you really need.

One question, the verb "eiti" how to know that the third person is einA and not "einI" or "eino"? As the verb Kalbeti the 3rd person is kalbA and not kalbI or kalbO. Thank you

[@videomokykla]

Each verb has 3 basic forms. You have to know them. Check the newer videos about present tense: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epDShGuqZc2WaNE

Ačiū, mano senelis yra lietuviskai, ir aš noriu kalbu lietuviškai. Tu esate kietas! I am american, I hope that made sense! haha

[@videomokykla]

Prašom! I'm glad you're interested in learning languages. If you don't mind, I'll correct you: Mano senelis yra lietuvis ir aš noriu kalbėti lietuviškai. Tu esi kietas. Anyway, thanks for watching! Sėkmės :)

What's the meaning of the the verb ''žiūriu''?

[@augustas9997]

Mark Dimitri It's the present tense of the word "žiurėti", which either means "to look" or "to watch" depending on the context.

What program? It's just Powerpoint :D So you have difficulties. Did you check this playlist for practicing each conjugation separately: /playlist?list=PLxYQufBsYYjMChd1O6E5L8oD1clUxcFRM&feature=view_all ? Let me know if those 3 videos helped you. If not, please tell what would help.

[@videomokykla]

Thanks for watching. If you have questions, ask.

Sveiki! I would like to know If in Lithuanian Language there is only one "Esamasis laikas", which can be translated as Present tense and Present continuous tense too. For example: As kalbu - I speak / I'm speaking In this case, do they have the same meaning? Thank you for your Lithuanian lessons!

[@phorturas4713]

Yep

[@videomokykla]

Yes, there's only one present tense to express both meanings. By the way, check out the newer lessons about present tense: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epDShGuqZc2WaNE&ab_channel=videomokykla

I thought girdėti was conjugation 2?

[@videomokykla]

Well, yes, it's my mistake. For present tense, the verb has the "i" conjugation. But make sure to check the newer videos about present tense: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epDShGuqZc2WaNE
