意思
The natural way to say having lunch.
文化背景
Lunch is the main meal of the day. It usually includes a soup followed by a heavy main course like potatoes and meat. The 'Lunch of the Day' (Dienos pietūs) is a social institution. Colleagues almost always leave the office to eat together at a nearby restaurant. Historically, lunch was the time when the whole family returned from the fields. It was a time of rest and silence. In cities, lunch is becoming quicker, but the preference for a hot meal over a cold sandwich remains very strong.
Use the Genitive for 'Going to'
When you say 'I'm going to eat lunch', use 'pietų' (genitive) instead of 'pietus'. Example: 'Einu valgyti pietų'.
Plural Only!
Never try to make 'pietūs' singular. There is no such thing as 'vienas pietus'.
