skaityti

This sentence means 'I read a book.' In Lithuanian, the subject often comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object.

This means 'You read a newspaper.' The structure is similar to the previous example: subject, verb, object.

This means 'She reads a magazine.' Remember that the verb ending changes based on the subject.

The correct word order in Lithuanian declarative sentences is subject-verb-object. 'Aš' (I) is the subject, 'mėgstu' (like/love) is the main verb, 'skaityti' (to read) is the infinitive, and 'knygą' (book) is the direct object.

In Lithuanian interrogative sentences starting with 'Ar', the 'Ar' comes first, followed by the subject 'tu' (you), then the auxiliary verb 'gali' (can), the main verb 'perskaityti' (to read through/finish reading), the object 'šį straipsnį' (this article), and finally the indirect object 'man' (for me).

The typical word order places the subject 'vaikai' (children) first, followed by the adverb of manner 'tyliai' (quietly), the verb 'skaito' (read), the object 'įdomias istorijas' (interesting stories), and then the adverbial of place 'bibliotekoje' (in the library).
