Lithuanian Out Loud

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 "Musical Instruments," the kanklės is an ancient, traditional stringed musical instrument of Lithuania.  The kanklės was carved from a single piece of wood and it was played during sacrifices to the gods or as protection from evil or to keep death away.  The best kanklės were made from old growth forests and the best time to cut wood for a new instrument was between a person's death and burial.   Lithuanian kanklės http://ausis.gf.vu.lt/eka/instrum/chordoph.html   Here is the second half of some more practice with the instrumental case.   Now that you’ve learned how to say, “mes su” we’re going to show you another option.  You can also say, I with the dog, aš su šuniu, but then you have to conjugate the verb to the first person.  Let’s use the verb to sleep, miegoti.   I sleep aš miegu   the dog and I sleep in the bed mes su šuniu miegame lovo
