This bit from the interview cracked me up so much 🤣🤣🤣 they talk about being recognised on the street. Translation below:

Emilija: "Few days ago I was going from home to our studio, which is like 10-15min away, and maybe 5 people stopped me in less than 3 minutes. "Are you the Katarsis' bassist?" they ask not only to take a photo but also to say nice words and of course that is very lovely but very unusual situation too."

Jokūbas: "It happens to me too that people approach me now. But maybe the most interesting moment was when some neighbours recognised me and came over to talk. When I actually realised that this is happening now like "okay..""

Interviewer: "Finally the neighbours started saying hello huh? :D"

Alanas: "I had this happen in a gas station. I always go to the same gas station near my home, and the day after we won I got asked "So it was you, huh?" "Yeah yeah it was me..". So now we greet each other with the cashier not "Hello." but "Hi." "

Interviewer: "Asking Lukas if he gets stopped on the street is probably pointless, right?"

Lukas: "I don't really go outside :) Definitely less than all of them. So I don't have many such moments because I'm always sitting at home. Sometimes I drive the car if I need to be somewhere."

#katarsis #the neighbours comment made me laugh so much 😂#lithuanians will do everything they can to avoid talking to the neighbours #neighbours approach you only if they want to complain to you about something #😂#Also “Sveiki” and “Labas” is kinda difficult to translate - they both mean hello but “Sveiki” is plural #so “Sveiki” is used more when you want to be polite but friendly #(also it means “healthy”)#and “Labas” is a lot more informal “Hello”. You don't really say it in official setting #(“Laba diena” is “good day” and “labas” is just “good”)#esc 2025
