意味
Referring to your relatives.
文化的背景
Family is the cornerstone of Lithuanian life. Sunday lunches at the grandparents' house are a common tradition. For Lithuanians living abroad, 'mano šeima' often includes the local Lithuanian community, acting as a surrogate family. In the past, 'šeima' included everyone living under one roof, including farmhands, reflecting a communal survival strategy. Younger generations often use 'mano šeima' to include long-term partners, even if not legally married, reflecting shifting social norms.

Giminė vs Šeima
Don't call your parents your 'giminė'—it sounds like you're talking about them as distant relatives!
Use 'Savo'
As you get better, try using 'savo šeima' when the subject is 'I'. It sounds more native!
