Now that you know the basics of introducing yourself in Lithuanian, let's explore some cultural insights and interesting facts related to greetings and introductions in Lithuania.
== Practice Exercises ==
 
Now that you’re familiar with the vocabulary and examples, it’s time to practice! Here are ten exercises to help you reinforce what you’ve learned.


== Cultural Insights and Interesting Facts ==
=== Exercise 1: Fill in the Blanks ===


In Lithuania, greetings are an important part of daily interactions. When meeting someone for the first time, it's customary to shake hands and maintain eye contact. It's also considered polite to greet people with a smile. In more formal or business settings, a slight nod of the head is also acceptable.
Complete the following sentences with the correct phrases:


Lithuanians value respect and politeness, so it's common to address people using their formal titles and surnames until they give you permission to use their first name. When introducing yourself, it's best to use your full name, including your first name and surname.
1. Labas! Aš esu ________.


In Lithuanian culture, it's also customary to inquire about the well-being of others. After exchanging greetings, you can ask "Kaip sekasi?" which means "How are you?" It's important to note that this question is more of a polite greeting rather than an invitation to share personal details.
