Lithuanian Grammar - Pronouns

Hi Lithuanian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will focus on the pronouns used in the Lithuanian language. Pronouns are an essential part of any language, and they make communication more efficient. They replace a noun or noun phrase, making speech and writing more concise.

Personal Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Personal pronouns refer to individuals or are used to indicate possession. They can also be used as the subject or object of a sentence. In Lithuanian, personal pronouns change based on the case and gender. Below are the Lithuanian personal pronouns:

Lithuanian Pronunciation English
[aʃ] I
tu [tu] you (singular, informal)
jis [jis] he
ji [ji] she
mes [mɛs] we
jūs [jus] you (plural, formal)
jie [jɪɛ] they (masculine or mixed gender group)
jos [jɔs] they (feminine group)

Here's an example dialogue using personal pronouns to help you understand how to use them:

  • Person 1: Aš esu Jonas. (I am Jonas)
  • Person 2: Laba diena, Jonas! Kaip tu? (Good day, Jonas! How are you?)
  • Person 1: Labai ačiū, gerai. O kaip jūs? (Thank you very much, I'm good. And you (formal)?)
  • Person 2: Mes esame gerai, ačiū. (We are good, thank you.)

Demonstrative Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Demonstrative pronouns are used to point to specific things or persons. In Lithuanian, there are three types of demonstrative pronouns, and they change based on gender and case:

Lithuanian Pronunciation English
šis [ʃɪs] this (masculine)
ši [ʃi] this (feminine)
tai [tai] this (neuter)
tas [tas] that (masculine)
ta [ta] that (feminine)
[tɔ́ː] that (neuter)
tie [ti:ɛ] those (masculine)
tos [tɔs] those (feminine)

Here's an example dialogue using demonstrative pronouns to help you understand how to use them:

  • Person 1: Ar norite šitą ar tą? (Do you want this or that?)
  • Person 2: Aš noriu šitą. (I want this.)
  • Person 1: Gerai, aš duosiu jums šitą. (Okay, I will give you this.)
  • Person 2: Dėkoju, tai labai malonu. (Thank you, that's very kind.)

Interrogative Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. In Lithuanian, the interrogative pronouns change based on case and gender. Here are the Lithuanian interrogative pronouns:

Lithuanian Pronunciation English
kas [kas] who (nominative)
ko [kɔ] whom (genitive)
kam [kam] whom (dative)
[kaːm] what (accusative)
kur [kur] where
kada [ˈkaːda] when

Here's an example dialogue using interrogative pronouns to help you understand how to use them:

  • Person 1: Kas tai yra? (What is this?)
  • Person 2: Tai kavos puodelis. (It's a cup of coffee.)
  • Person 1: O kam jis priklauso? (And whom does it belong to?)
  • Person 2: Man. (It belongs to me.)

Reflexive Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Reflexive pronouns are used when the object of the verb is the same as the subject. In Lithuanian, the reflexive pronoun is "save." Here's how you use it:

Lithuanian Pronunciation English
[aʃ] myself
tu [tu] yourself (singular, informal)
jis [jis] himself
ji [ji] herself
mes [mɛs] ourselves
jūs [jus] yourself (plural, formal)
jie [jɪɛ] themselves (masculine or mixed gender group)
jos [jɔs] themselves (feminine group)

Here's an example dialogue using reflexive pronouns to help you understand how to use them:

  • Person 1: Aš vairuoju save. (I'm driving myself.)
  • Person 2: Puiku! Aš taip pat moku vairuoti save. (Great! I also know how to drive myself.)

Possessive Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Possessive pronouns show possession or ownership. In Lithuanian, possessive pronouns change based on gender and case. Below are the possessive pronouns:

Lithuanian Pronunciation English
mano [mɐnɒ] my
tavo [tɑvɒ] your (singular, informal)
jo [jɔ] his
jos [jɔs] her
mūsų [mu:sʉ:] our
jūsų [ju:sʉ:] your (plural, formal)
[jʊ] their

Here's an example dialogue using possessive pronouns to help you understand how to use them:

  • Person 1: Tai yra mano automobilis. (This is my car.)
  • Person 2: Jūsų? (Yours?)
  • Person 1: Ne, mano. (No, mine.)
  • Person 2: Ačiū. (Thank you.)

Indefinite Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Indefinite pronouns refer to people, places, or things in a general or indefinite way. In Lithuanian, indefinite pronouns change based on the case and gender. Here are some Lithuanian indefinite pronouns:

Lithuanian Pronunciation English
kas nors [kɐs nɔrs] somebody, anybody
kažkas [kɑʒ kɑs] something
niekas [nʲɛ̂kɐs] nobody, no one
nieko [nʲɛ̂kɔ] nothing

Here's an example dialogue using indefinite pronouns to help you understand how to use them:

  • Person 1: Ar kas nors nori kavos? (Does somebody want coffee?)
  • Person 2: Aš noriu kažko karšto. (I want something hot.)
  • Person 1: Gerai, aš duosiu jums kavos arbatinį. (Okay, I will give you coffee or tea.)
  • Person 2: Dėkoju, nieko daugiau man nereikia. (Thank you, I don't need anything else.)
