Introduction to Lithuanian:
Lesson 23

This is where it gets a bit tricky. Whenever you have a verb coming together with an infinitive (for example, want to have, have to have] and so on), you always look at the infinitive in order to determine whether tai changes into to or not.

For example, the sentence aš noriu tai turėti (I want to have it) still uses tai despite the presence of noriu. That is because the behaviour of tai is governed by the infinitive (i.e. by turėti).

Thus how would you say:

I can have it.

Answer: Aš galiu tai turėti.
