Just a thought....
Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

Life is good... in Lithuanian


Photo taken by Jurgis at Marceliukes Kletis

As you know, I'm trying to learn Lithuanian. So far, I'm enjoying it. It's completely different to any language I know (yeah, I know SO many haha!).

One lesson I really enjoyed and which I've been meaning to blog about for a while now is the simple:

How are you?
I'm fine, thanks!

Lithuanians take the "I'm fine" to a whole new level and one I really like.

First, to break it down:
Kaip = How
gyventi = the verb 'to live'
good = gerai

So a question would read:
Kaip jis gyvena? = How's he doing? or How's he living?

The answer... ?
Jis gyvena gerai! = He's doing well! or He's living good!

Taip, Gyvenimas yra Geras! (Yes, Life is Good)

Asta, as I'm still learning, please, please feel free to correct me : ) There may well be grammatical issues with this post.
