Verb Governance and Prefixes

Lithuanian verbs require specific cases from dependent words (governance). Common case questions: ką? (accusative), ko? (genitive), kam? (dative), kuo? (instrumental), kur? (locative). Prefixes (pa-, ap-, su-, iš-, at-, per- etc.) can change both meaning and case governance.
