意思
Suggesting to return to one's residence.
文化背景
Lithuanians often have 'long goodbyes'. Saying 'Eikime namo' is just the start of a 30-minute conversation by the door. The word 'namai' (home) is usually plural, but the adverb 'namo' is singular in origin. It reflects the idea of home as a collection of family and hearth. In rural areas, 'namo' might refer to the entire farmstead, not just the house building. There is a popular saying: 'Visur gerai, bet namuose geriausia' (Everywhere is good, but at home it's best).
The 'Gal' Softener
Add 'Gal' (maybe) at the beginning to sound more polite: 'Gal eikime namo?'
Don't use 'į'
Never say 'Eikime į namo'. Adverbs don't take prepositions.
