معنی
Knowing something perfectly or exactly.
زمینه فرهنگی
The idiom reflects the importance of the potato and egg in the national diet. Peeling is a basic, universal skill in Lithuania. In villages, knowing your neighbors 'kaip nuluptus' was a matter of social cohesion and safety. Younger generations use it for technology and urban navigation, showing the idiom's adaptability. Many folk tales involve characters who can 'see through' disguises, a concept related to knowing someone 'kaip nuluptą'.
Gender Agreement
Always check the gender of the object. If you know a 'taisyklė' (rule), use 'nuluptą' (fem). If you know a 'kelias' (road), use 'nuluptą' (masc). They look the same in singular, but different in plural!
Don't use with 'suprasti'
It only works with 'žinoti' (to know facts/places) or 'pažinti' (to know people/places).

10 سوالNo, it implies long-term familiarity. Use it for people you've known for years.
Not at all. It's a friendly, neutral idiom. However, in a confrontation, it can sound assertive.
Only when the object is singular and in the accusative case (which it usually is with 'žinoti').
It means 'peeled' or 'skinned'.
No, 'nulupta' without the nasal 'ą' would be the nominative feminine form, which is grammatically incorrect here.
