Remember, consonants are always palatized (softened) before the front vowels (i, , y, e, , ) and before the diphtongs 'ei' and 'ie' (meil - love, Lietuva - Lithuania). Before the vowels a, , o, u, , 'i' is used to denote

Vowels: palatization (softening) of the preceding consonants (puikiai - splendidly); a - short as in cut; pats (himself), pati (herself) the 'i' is not pronounced. (The word puikiai is pronounced as if it were

long as in park; labas (hello) written puikei.)e - short as in bed; bet (but)

long as in bad; lekia (he flies) There is also one more basic rule in pronunciation of Lithuanian sounds. - long as in the German word gehen; gl (flower) Voiced consonants (like; b, g, d, , z) cause the preceding consonant to be i - short as in hit; kitas (another) voiced also and vice versa. For example, in bgti (to run) the 'g' is

Also, in many words, between a consonant and a pronounced like 'k' and in dirbti (to work) the 'b' is unvoiced because in vowel, the 'i' is not pronounced, but it makes the both words the 't' is unvoiced; in mesdamas (while throwing) the 's' is preceding consonant and the following vowel soft pronounced like 'z' because 'd' is a voiced consonant.(palatized); Vilnius, iauliai.

y - long as in week; rytas (morning) All final consonants are unvoiced, except l, m, n, r; in daug (much, many) o - short as in lock; lova (bed) the final 'g' is pronounced like 'k'.u - short as in book; butas (appartment, flat) - long as in shoot; rkas (mist), , , pronounced as long vowels: a, e, i, u; A matau

nam, gl, brol, sn. (I see a house, a flower, a brother, a son.)

Dipthongs:ai - as in pike; vaikas (child)au - as in how; naujas (new)ei - as in reign; peilis (knife)iai - as in rain; broliai (brothers), vaisiai (fruit)ie - as in pierce; pienas (milk)ui - as in the French name Louie; puikus (splendid),

smuikas (violin)uo - as in water; duona (bread)

Consonants:c - 'ts' sound, as in pizza; cukrus (sugar)ch - as in German word nacht, found only in words of

foreign origin; choras (choir) - 'ch' sound, as in child; iaupas (tap)d - as in the 'g' in digest; diaugsmas (joy)g - as in give; gana (enough)j - 'y' sound, as in yes; jaunas (young)r - with a tongue trill, similar to an italian 'r'; ratas (wheel)s - as in sleep; saul (sun) - 'sh' sound, as in English; alis (country), iandien

(today)z - as in zoo; zuikis (hare, rabbit) - as in measure; alias (green)
