8.5 The Use of the Personal Pronouns.

The use of the personal pronouns is similar to that of English.

One must remember, however, that the 3rd person agrees with

the word it refers to in number and gender. The case of the pronoun

is determined by its use in the clause in which it occurs.

Examples:

1) Sis stalas yra naujas. Jis yra mano kambaryje. 'This table

is new. It is in my room.' Note that jis, the masc. nom. sing. pronoun

is translated by it. In Lithuanian the form jis agrees in

gender and number with stalas. It is in the nominative case because

it is the subject of the sentence.

2) As nusipirkau naujq lempq. Be jos negaliu dirbti. 'I bought

[for myself] a new lamp. Without it I cannot work.' The pronoun

jos is feminine singular because it refers to lempa. It is in the

genitive case because it is the object of the preposition be 'without'

which requires the genitive case.

8.6 Tu and jūs.

Tu 'thou', the 2nd singular pronoun is a familiar form which

is to be used only with close friends, the closest members of the

family, children and animals. Jūs has to be used whenever one

addresses one or several persons who are not members of the

above mentioned groups. Jus is, of course, used when addressing

more than one person familiarly. This usage is practically identical

with the use of tu and vous in French or du and Sie, ( ihr)

in German.

NB. Whenever tu or jus, or any possessive pronouns derived from

them, i.e., tiwo, justL are used in a letter or describing conversation

or direct speech referring to the person, or persons,

to whom the letter is addressed. then all of these words are '

capitalized: Tu, Jus, Tavo, Jus1f.

Other forms of address used in Lithuanian: Tamsta 'you',

Pats 'thou' (lit. 'you yourself'), Sveikas 'thou' (lit. 'healthy').

KIENO TAI? AR TAI TAVO? Whose is it? Is it yours?

To say that something belongs to somebody, use the genitive case of possessive pronouns.

Kas?(nom.)          Kieno? (gen.)

Aš                         mano

Tu                        tavo

Jis                         jo

Ji                          jos

Mes                      mūsų

Jūs                       jūsų

Jie                        jų

Jos                       jų
