LL0253 – Mylėti To Love   Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Gintarė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.   Radio Vilnius: News and Current Affairs The Lithuanian government is passing laws in order to gradually do away with the conscription system.  By 2013 the government plans to have no conscripts in the Lithuanian army.  There are approximately 2,000 conscripts in the Lithuanian armed forces.   today we’ll go over the Lithuanian verb mylėti – to love   you wouldn’t use mylėti in the same way you’d use “to love” in English   in general, only use mylėti for animate objects   you wouldn’t say, I love my car, I love football, or I love this shirt   sometimes, mylėti is used for inanimate objects, but only in a romantic or poetic way   mylėti is a transitive verb so it requires the accusative case or galininkas   nemylėti requires the genitive case - kilmininkas   here are mylėti and nemylėti conjugated in the present tense   to love mylėti
