Introduction to Lithuanian:
Lesson 11

We learned words for England and Lithuania. Let’s learn one more:

Lithuanian for Spain is Ispanija.

Here is how to make a country’s name into a language name:

Step one: if there is ija on the end, you remove it. Otherwise you only remove the a.

Step two: You add iškai.

If you try this with Ispanija, at step one you get Ispan and at step two you get ispaniškai. This literally means something like Spanishly and it is the Lithuanian way to say in Spanish.

You should be able to do that yourself. Let's try applying it in a couple of sentences:
