意思
The act of consuming news in print.
文化背景
The 'Spaudos atgavimo diena' (Press Restoration Day) on May 7th celebrates the end of the Lithuanian press ban. Reading a newspaper is seen as a historical privilege. In many Lithuanian cities, cafes provide free newspapers for customers. It is a sign of a 'good' cafe to have the latest 'Lietuvos rytas' or 'Verslo žinios' available. During the Soviet period, people read the official newspaper 'Tiesa' (The Truth) but often joked that there was no truth in 'Tiesa'. 'Skaityti tarp eilučių' (reading between the lines) became a national pastime. While physical papers are rarer, the phrase 'skaityti laikraštį' has transitioned to digital news portals like Delfi.lt or 15min.lt.
The Nasal 'į'
Remember that 'laikraštį' ends with an 'į' (with a tail). This is the sign of the direct object. Don't forget the tail!
Cafe Etiquette
If you see a newspaper on a table in a Lithuanian cafe, it's usually free for everyone. Feel free to pick it up and 'skaityti'.
