I am Kristina - to be

It is always important to know how to introduce yourself. So today you will learn how to do this.

The sentence consists only of 3 words (just like in English).
I am Kristina. - Aš esu Kristina.

Have a look at both sentences. Can you guess what each word means?

Aš is a subject of the sentence. Aš - I
Esu is the verb of the sentence. Esu - am
Kristina is the object.

To introduce other people you have to know how to conjugate the verb to be - būti. In English it is pretty easy. Only I and she/he/it differ from the rest. There is a certain pattern in Lithuanian as well:

I am -            aš esu
you are -       tu esi
he/she/it is-   jis/ji yra

we are -       mes esame
you are -      jūs esate
they are -     jie/jos yra


Listen:





Can you introduce her?
She is Virginija. - Ji yra Virginija.
We are John and Anne. Mes esame John ir Anne.

One more word you need to know is and - ir. 




Congratulations!!! Now you can introduce yourself and other people.
