__TOC__


In Lithuanian, personal pronouns can be divided into three main categories: first person, second person, and third person. Each category has its own unique forms and is used to refer to different individuals or groups. Let's explore each category in more detail.
=== Introduction to Personal Pronouns ===


=== First Person Pronouns ===
Personal pronouns are words that replace nouns and refer to specific people or things. In Lithuanian, personal pronouns help indicate who is performing an action or who is being talked about. This lesson will cover the singular and plural forms of personal pronouns, their cases, and their proper usage in sentences.


First person pronouns are used to refer to the speaker or a group that includes the speaker. In Lithuanian, there are two main forms of first person pronouns: singular and plural.
=== List of Personal Pronouns in Lithuanian ===


The singular form of the first person pronoun in Lithuanian is "aš," which means "I" in English. Here is the conjugation of the singular first person pronoun in Lithuanian:
In Lithuanian, personal pronouns can change based on the person (first, second, third), number (singular, plural), and grammatical case (nominative, accusative, genitive, etc.). Let's start with the nominative case, which is used for the subject of a sentence.

Now, let's see some examples of how to use first person pronouns in sentences:
=== Usage of Personal Pronouns ===
 
Let’s break down how to use each personal pronoun in context. Here are the singular pronouns:
 
* '''Aš (I)''': This pronoun is used when you are talking about yourself.
 
* '''Tu (you)''': This is the informal way to address someone you know well.

* Mes esame draugai. (We are friends.)


=== Second Person Pronouns ===
* '''Jie (they, masculine)''' and '''Jos (they, feminine)''': These refer to groups of people.


Second person pronouns are used to refer to the person or people being spoken to. In Lithuanian, there are also two main forms of second person pronouns: singular and plural.

This shows respect and acknowledges the social hierarchy.
* ___ esu studentas. (I am a student.)


In addition, Lithuania has a rich history and a strong sense of national identity. The Lithuanian language is considered a key aspect of this identity and is protected by the government. The correct usage of personal pronouns, as well as other aspects of the language, is highly valued and seen as a sign of cultural preservation and pride.
