link + genitive

Toward with Link

Level 6

Ėjome upės link. means We walked toward the river.

How It Works

Two positions. A common pattern places link after the noun: namų link. It can also precede it: link namų. The noun is genitive either way.

Direction, not arrival. Ėjome miško link describes a direction. Ėjome į mišką presents the forest as a destination or entry point. The surrounding sentence tells whether the journey was completed.

Abstract directions. Link can also mark progress toward an aim, as in žingsnis taikos link, a step toward peace. Keep the genitive taikos.
