Bedeutung
Asking for a phone number.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Lithuanians are very tech-savvy. Don't be surprised if they ask for your Instagram handle immediately after your phone number. In Lithuanian business, exchanging numbers is common, but calling after 6 PM is generally considered intrusive unless it's an emergency. Young Lithuanians often use English loanwords. You might hear 'numesk man savo kontaktus' (drop me your contacts). While friendly, Lithuanians value their 'asmeninė erdvė' (personal space). Only ask for a number if you have a clear reason to stay in touch.
Skip the verb
Don't worry about 'yra' (is). It's more natural to leave it out in this question.
The +370 factor
Lithuanian numbers start with +370. When someone gives you a number starting with '8', it's the local shorthand for '0'.

Save it right
When you get the number, repeat it back: 'Aštuoni, šeši...' to show you're listening.
Messenger is King
Many Lithuanians prefer Facebook Messenger over traditional SMS. Ask 'Ar esi Messenger'yje?' after getting the number.
