Introduction to Lithuanian:
Lesson 20

There is a problem with the word tai: it is ne-incompatible. Ne dislikes the word tai and it refuses to go in the same sentence with it. Thus there is another version for the word tai which you use when you have ne before the verb in the sentence!

The ne-compatible word for it in Lithuanian is to.

The position of the word it does not change, but whenever you have ne to deny something, the word tai itself changes to to.

So how would you say:

I don’t have it.
