== Introduction ==
=== Importance of Basic Sentence Structure ===
 
Understanding the basic sentence structure is crucial for beginners in any language. It serves as the building block for more complex sentences and ensures that your communication is clear and effective. In Lithuanian, being able to recognize and utilize the SVO order will help you navigate everyday conversations, whether you're introducing yourself, ordering food, or asking for directions.
 
=== Components of a Sentence ===
 
Before we dive into examples, let’s break down the fundamental components of a simple sentence in Lithuanian:
 
==== Subject ====
 
The subject is the person or thing performing the action of the verb. In Lithuanian, the subject usually comes first in the sentence.


Welcome to the "Basic Sentence Structure" lesson of the "Complete 0 to A1 Lithuanian Course"! In this lesson, we will delve into the fundamental aspects of Lithuanian sentence structure, including the order of subjects, verbs, and objects, as well as the formation of simple sentences. Understanding sentence structure is crucial for effective communication in any language, and mastering it will greatly enhance your ability to express yourself in Lithuanian. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to construct basic sentences and lay a solid foundation for your future language learning journey. So let's get started!
==== Verb ====


== Subject, Verb, and Object Order ==
The verb expresses the action or state of being. It is essential to know the correct form of the verb to match the subject.


In Lithuanian, the typical word order in a sentence is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO). This means that the subject usually comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object. Here's an example:
==== Object ====
 
The object is the recipient of the action. It answers the question "what?" or "whom?". The object typically follows the verb in a simple sentence.
 
=== Examples of Basic Sentence Structure ===
 
Let’s explore some examples to illustrate the subject-verb-object structure in Lithuanian. Below is a table with various sentences to help you understand the concept better.


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Lithuanian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Lithuanian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Aš || [aʃ] || I
 
| Aš valgau obuolį. || Aš val-gau o-bu-o-lį. || I eat an apple.
 
|-
|-
| skaitau || [skaɪˈtaʊ] || am reading
 
| Tu skaitai knygą. || Tu ska-i-tai kny-gą. || You read a book.
 
|-
|-
| knygą. || [ˈkŋʲʊɡɔ] || a book.
|}


Translation: I am reading a book.
| Jis myli katę. || Jis mi-li ka-tę. || He loves a cat.


As you can see, the subject "Aš" (I) comes first, followed by the verb "skaitau" (am reading), and finally the object "knygą" (a book).
|-


However, it's important to note that Lithuanian is a highly flexible language, and word order can be changed for emphasis or stylistic purposes. Let's look at a few examples:
| Mes žiūrime filmą. || Mes žiū-ri-me fil-mą. || We watch a movie.


1. Object-Subject-Verb (OSV):
{| class="wikitable"
! Lithuanian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Knygą || [kŋʲʊˈɡɔ] || A book
 
| Jie rašo laišką. || Jie ra-šo laiš-ką. || They write a letter.
 
|-
|-
| aš || [aʃ] || I
 
| Aš geriu vandenį. || Aš ge-riu van-de-nį. || I drink water.
 
|-
|-
| skaitau. || [ˈskaɪtaʊ] || am reading.
|}


Translation: A book, I am reading.
| Tu dirbi biure. || Tu dir-bi bu-re. || You work in an office.


In this example, the object "Knygą" (a book) is placed at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis, followed by the subject "aš" (I), and then the verb "skaitau" (am reading).
|-
 
| Jis piešia paveikslą. || Jis pie-ši-a pa-veik-slą. || He draws a picture.


2. Verb-Subject-Object (VSO):
{| class="wikitable"
! Lithuanian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Skaitau || [skaɪˈtaʊ] || Am reading
 
| Mes mokomės kalbos. || Mes mo-ko-mės kal-bos. || We learn a language.
 
|-
|-
| aš || [aʃ] || I
 
|-
| Jie valgo pyragą. || Jie val-go pi-ra-gą. || They eat a pie.
| knygą. || [ˈkŋʲʊɡɔ] || a book.
 
|}
|}


Translation: Am reading, I a book.
These examples clearly demonstrate how the subject, verb, and object are organized in a simple sentence structure.

3. Jie valgo pyragą. (They eat a pie.)


These alternative word orders are less common in everyday speech but can be used for poetic or dramatic effect.
==== Exercise 8: Create Questions ====


== Forming Simple Sentences ==
Turn the following statements into questions.


Now that we understand the basic subject-verb-object order in Lithuanian sentences, let's explore how to form simple sentences. In Lithuanian, a sentence must contain at least a subject and a verb. Here's a breakdown of the sentence elements:
1. Aš skaitau knygą. (I read a book.)


- Subject (Dalyvis): The subject of a sentence is the person, thing, or entity that performs the action expressed by the verb. It answers the question "Who?" or "What?".
2. Tu žiūri filmą. (You watch a movie.)


- Verb (Veiksmas): The verb is the action or state of being in a sentence. It specifies what the subject is doing or the condition it is in.
3. Jie valgo ledus. (They eat ice cream.)


- Object (Objektas): The object is the person, thing, or entity that receives the action of the verb. It answers the question "Whom?" or "What?".
'''Solutions:'''


Now, let's look at some examples:
1. Ar aš skaitau knygą? (Do I read a book?)


1. Simple Sentence with Subject and Verb:
2. Ar tu žiūri filmą? (Do you watch a movie?)
{| class="wikitable"
! Lithuanian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Jis || [ˈjɪs] || He
|-
| bėga. || [ˈbeːɡɐ] || is running.
|}


Translation: He is running.
3. Ar jie valgo ledus? (Do they eat ice cream?)


In this example, the subject "Jis" (He) and the verb "bėga" (is running) form a complete sentence.
==== Exercise 9: Simple Sentence Conversion ====


2. Simple Sentence with Subject, Verb, and Object:
Convert the following complex sentences into simple sentences.
{| class="wikitable"
! Lithuanian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Jis || [ˈjɪs] || He
|-
| skaito || [ˈskaɪtoː] || is reading
|-
| knygą. || [ˈkŋʲʊɡɔ] || a book.
|}


Translation: He is reading a book.
1. I see the sky and the stars.


In this example, the subject "Jis" (He), the verb "skaito" (is reading), and the object "knygą" (a book) form a complete sentence.
2. She plays the piano and sings.


3. Simple Sentence with Subject and Object:
3. We eat lunch and drink tea.
{| class="wikitable"
! Lithuanian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Aš || [aʃ] || I
|-
| mokausi. || [mɔˈkɔʊsʲɪ] || am learning.
|}


Translation: I am learning.
'''Solutions:'''


In this example, the subject "Aš" (I) and the verb "mokausi" (am learning) form a complete sentence.
1. Aš matau dangų. (I see the sky.) Aš matau žvaigždes. (I see the stars.)


Remember, these are just the basic components of a simple sentence. As you progress in your Lithuanian language journey, you will encounter more complex sentence structures and additional elements such as adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases.
2. Ji groja pianinu. (She plays the piano.) Ji dainuoja. (She sings.)


== Cultural Insights ==
3. Mes valgome pietus. (We eat lunch.) Mes geriame arbatą. (We drink tea.)


Understanding the cultural context of a language can greatly enhance your language learning experience. In the case of Lithuanian, it is interesting to note that the language has preserved many archaic features of the Indo-European language family. This makes Lithuanian a valuable source of information for linguists studying the evolution of languages.
==== Exercise 10: Sentence Rearrangement ====


Additionally, Lithuanian has two distinct dialects: Aukštaitian (Highlander) and Žemaitian (Lowlander). These dialects differ mainly in pronunciation and vocabulary, but the standard Lithuanian used in education and official settings is based on the Aukštaitian dialect.
Rearrange the following words to form correct sentences.


Lithuanian culture is rich in traditions and customs. One notable tradition is the celebration of the summer solstice, known as "Joninės" or "Rasos" in Lithuanian. During this celebration, people gather around bonfires, sing folk songs, and engage in traditional dances. It is believed that jumping over the bonfire brings good luck and protects against evil spirits.
1. vandenį - geriu - Aš.


Another interesting aspect of Lithuanian culture is the emphasis on nature and the preservation of natural resources. Lithuania is known for its beautiful landscapes, national parks, and the Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The connection to nature is reflected in the Lithuanian language, which has many words related to natural elements.
2. knygą - skaitai - Tu.


== Practice Exercises ==
3. filmą - žiūri - Ji.


Now it's time to put your knowledge of Lithuanian sentence structure into practice! Complete the following exercises by constructing sentences based on the given prompts. Remember to use the correct subject-verb-object order and choose the appropriate verb forms.
'''Solutions:'''


Exercise 1: Translate the following English sentences into Lithuanian.
1. Aš geriu vandenį. (I drink water.)


1. She is singing a song.
2. Tu skaitai knygą. (You read a book.)
2. We are eating lunch.
3. They are watching a movie.
4. I am writing a letter.
5. He is playing the guitar.


Exercise 2: Rearrange the given words to form correct sentences in Lithuanian.
