In Lithuanian there are 4 pitch accent paradigms. So far I've understood the paradigms 1 and 2 without much difficulty from the book Beginner's Lithuanian, but I have no idea what 3 and 4 means at all. Could someone explain the paradigms 3 and 4 in an easy manner? Thank you.

I know only of three different pitch accent types:
a) the acute (long vowel emphasized on its beginning) à la vyras b) the tilde (long vowel emphasized toward the end) à la geras c) the grave (short stressed vowel) à la laiku What's the fourth? Edited by Cabaire on 18 April 2010 at 12:16am 1 person has voted this message useful | |
