The most popular word to greet people in Lithuania is labas.

Kadangi, nes

There is also another way to say because or since:

kadangi

But it's not completely the same as nes, although it is often used as nes.

The difference is that usually kadangi is used in the first sentence clause:

Kadangi ji perka stalą, jis jos nekenčia. Since she is buying a table, he hates her.
Kadangi mokykloje ant stalo yra televizorius, ji perka televizorių. Since in school on the table is a computer, she is buying a computer.

But it is possible to use it as nes - in the second clause:

Mokinys eina į mokyklą, kadangi reikia. The pupil goes to school since it is necessary.

Nes is never used in the first clause!
