Word formation
The adjective 'litauisch' (Lithuanian) is derived from the country name 'Litauen' (Lithuania). The ending '-isch' is often used to form adjectives that describe origin or affiliation with a country or region.

Common mistake
In German, adjectives derived from countries or nationalities are written in lowercase as long as they are not at the beginning of a sentence. So it is 'der litauische Präsident' (the Lithuanian president), not 'der Litauische Präsident'.

Sie kocht gerne litauische Gerichte für ihre Freunde.
She likes cooking Lithuanian dishes for her friends.
