Adjective-noun agreement Exercises in Lithuanian language
Understanding adjective-noun agreement is a fundamental aspect of mastering the Lithuanian language. In Lithuanian, adjectives must agree with the nouns they describe in terms of gender, number, and case, making this topic a key area for anyone looking to achieve fluency. This concept might seem challenging at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature. Our exercises are designed to guide you through the intricacies of adjective-noun agreement, helping you to recognize patterns and apply rules with confidence.
In Lithuanian, nouns are classified into masculine and feminine genders, each with its own set of endings and rules. Adjectives must match these gender-specific endings, as well as the singular or plural form and the grammatical case of the noun they modify. For example, the adjective "gražus" (beautiful) will change to "graži" when describing a feminine noun and to "gražūs" or "gražios" when describing plural nouns, depending on their gender. By working through our targeted exercises, you'll gain a deeper understanding of these agreements, ensuring that your Lithuanian sentences are both grammatically correct and naturally expressive.
