Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Lithuanian
I speak one language [singular form] aš kalbu viena kalba
we speak three languages [plural noun] mes kalbame trijomis kalbomis
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] jis lankosi daugelyje šalių
they are happy now [plural pronoun] jie laimingi dabar
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] ji turi penkis raudonus batus
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] noriu sumuštinio be svogūnų

The following is a list of examples showing both the singular and plural form. This demonstrates how the plural is used with humans, objects and animals.

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Lithuanian by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.
