المعنى
Resting in a piece of furniture.
خلفية ثقافية
There is a traditional belief that you should never leave a bed unmade, or the 'velnias' (devil) might come and sleep in it. In rural areas, it was common to sleep on a 'priepečkis' (a bench by the stove) in winter, but the 'lova' was reserved for the heads of the household. Lithuanians often use the diminutive 'lovytė' when talking to children, making the act of sleeping feel safer and warmer. The phrase 'Kaip pasiklosi, taip išsimiegosi' is a national proverb meaning your current situation is a result of your own preparations.
The '-oje' trick
Whenever you are 'in' a feminine noun ending in '-a', just change it to '-oje'. Lova -> Lovoje.
Don't say 'in'
Avoid using the word 'į' when you are already sleeping. It's a common beginner mistake.
