Lithuanian Out Loud 0016 - Sveikas Health

Are you familiar with the Lithuanian version of Wikipedia?  It's called Vikipedija.  You should take a look.  Even if you're a novice learner of Lithuanian you'll find it interesting.  Take a look at the photos and descriptions.  Vikipedija's address is listed below.  Enjoy!

In today's lesson we learn some new greetings.

Sveika!                    health! (to a female)

Sveikas!                  health! (to a male)

Kas naujo?              what's new?

Nieko                     nothing

Ate!                       bye!

Sveiki!                   health! (to a group)

Sveikos!                 health! (to a female group)

Sveikutė!                 health! (diminutive - between girls only)
