How Lithuanian conjugation works

To conjugate a verb is to change its form to show who is doing the action (the subject) and when (the tense). In each table above, the subject runs down the left and the matching form sits beside it, across 3 core tenses: Esamasis laikas (Present), Būtasis kartinis laikas (Past), Būsimasis laikas (Future).

Verbs split into regular and irregular. Regular verbs follow a fixed pattern you can apply to thousands of others once you learn it; the badge on each verb names its type (irregular for būti, for example). Irregular verbs like būti (to be) change in ways you memorize one by one, which is exactly why the most common verbs are so often the most irregular.

You do not learn these by staring at the grid. You learn them by meeting them, over and over, in real sentences until the pattern feels obvious. That is what reading does, and it is what reading in Lingo7 is built for: open a real book in Lithuanian, tap any verb form to see its meaning, and the conjugations start to stick on their own.

Frequently asked questions

How do you conjugate Lithuanian verbs?

To conjugate a Lithuanian verb, you change its form to match the subject and the tense. Take būti (to be): in the aš form it is esu now, buvau in the past, and būsiu in the future. Regular verbs follow a fixed pattern by ending; irregular ones you learn one at a time. This tool shows the full table for each.

What are the most common Lithuanian verbs?

The most common Lithuanian verbs include būti (to be), turėti (to have), eiti (to go (on foot), to walk), važiuoti (to go, to ride (by vehicle)), kalbėti (to speak, to talk), dirbti (to work), gyventi (to live), matyti (to see). These high-frequency verbs are also the most irregular in most languages, which is why they are worth drilling first. This tool has full present, past and future tables for all 16.

Is Lithuanian verb conjugation hard?

Lithuanian conjugation takes practice but follows clear rules. Regular verbs are predictable once you learn the endings; the real work is the handful of very common irregular verbs and knowing which tense to use. Lithuanian is FSI Category III, about 1100 hours to professional proficiency. The fastest way to make the forms automatic is to meet them again and again in real sentences, which is what reading does.

How many tenses does Lithuanian have?

These three, Esamasis laikas (Present), Būtasis kartinis laikas (Past), Būsimasis laikas (Future), are the core of everyday Lithuanian and the right place to start. Real Lithuanian also uses other moods and aspects (and, in most languages, extra compound tenses), but they build on the same stems and personal endings you see in these tables.
