Therefore, the author’s publishiir ng house should ir think about a new, perhaps even wider edition of this book. How nice it would be if every family, everybody who wants could have such a publication! A. Kučinskaitė- ’s book did not be disappoint readers. It covers a number of different cases of life and human communication, in which the inner iš beauty, simplicity, nobility or formality, reflectiveness, coarseness of the interlocutors can be seen as on the palm of the hand. A person is constantly in a certain environment, sometimes in a cozy cool house, sometimes in a friendly official work ir collective, — sometimes he is doing his own business ar in various institutions. Many of our contemporarar ies may not remember when it was the last time they had to be alone for at ar least a little longer, to concentrate and think. nė ir Maybe because of to ne one, involved in the whirlwind of į bubbling life, unknowingly cools down, ir formalizes.

How to find those more diverse, individually designed jackets, but warm sincere words? ir A. Kučinskaitė- ’s book dazzles to look for such warmer, more sincere words. O for it has been known from time immemorial: he who seeks, he finds. So a booklet > Akai: Davis K See his cost „Lietuvių kalbos etiketas“ often reminds that a polite word raises the spirit of both the speaker and the speaker he himself, that the culture ir of communication is a big important thing in life finally, that the culture ir of human behavior cannot be ir separated from the YE ti from jo language culture. a | The booklet reviews the ongoing circumstances of communication.
