The Lithuanian week starts on Monday, pirmadienis, and every day name is built on a number. Press the speaker next to a day to hear it.
Each name joins an ordinal number to diena, day: pirmadienis is the first day, antradienis the second, trečiadienis the third, ketvirtadienis the fourth, penktadienis the fifth and šeštadienis the sixth. Sekmadienis, Sunday, comes from an old word for seventh.
Once you know the first six ordinals, pirmas, antras, trečias, ketvirtas, penktas and šeštas, the days need no memorising.
To say on a day, put the day into the accusative: pirmadienį, antradienį, sekmadienį. Pirmadienį einu į darbą means on Monday I go to work.
Day names are written with a small letter. The week is savaitė, and the weekend is savaitgalis, the end of the week.
Translations and examples are written with the help of a language model; the pronunciation is synthesized speech.
Verba sends a short dictation every morning and brings the word back exactly when it starts to fade.
