뜻
Laundry that has been washed.
문화적 배경
In traditional Lithuanian culture, white linen shirts were worn for festivals and church. Keeping them 'švarūs' was a matter of family honor. Lithuanian offices are increasingly casual, but 'švarūs marškiniai' remains the minimum standard for respect toward colleagues. It is still common in villages to see laundry drying outside. The smell of 'lauko gaiva' (outdoor freshness) is highly prized. Younger Lithuanians use 'marškinėliai' (T-shirts) almost exclusively, but will use 'marškiniai' for 'fancy' events like weddings.
The Plural Rule
Always treat 'marškiniai' as plural. If you want to say 'one shirt', say 'vieni marškiniai'.
Gender Matters
Don't use 'švari' (feminine). Even though 'shirt' is feminine in some languages, it's masculine in Lithuanian.
