Aptarimas:gyvūnas

Etymology : I suppose this word is related to gyventi, "to live". Am I right ? --Fsojic (aptarimas) 12:47, 23 rugsėjo 2012 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. The three: gyvūnas, gyvas, gyventi are related, but I do not know whether it should be considered gyvūnas was made from the adjective or verb. Maybe this word became widely used only after the standartization of Lithuanian. --Viskonsas (aptarimas) 06:44, 26 rugsėjo 2012 (UTC)
