Mažas vaikas

Small child

意味

A young toddler.

🌍

文化的背景

Lithuanians often use the word 'vaikas' to refer to their offspring even when they are 40 years old, but they would never use 'mažas' in that case. There is a popular belief that 'maži vaikai' can see things adults cannot, like 'kaukai' (mythological spirits). Naming traditions: In the past, a 'mažas vaikas' might not be officially named until they survived their first year, though this is no longer practiced.

💡

Use Diminutives

If you want to sound more like a native, use 'vaikelis' instead of 'vaikas' when talking to the parents.

⚠️

Gender Matters

Remember that 'vaikas' is masculine. If you know the child is a girl, 'maža mergaitė' is more specific.
