  4. Greek: Αγοράζετε Ευρωπαϊκά

Lithuanian is wrong. Should be "pirkite europietiškus produktus". The example you gave is better than the LLM but the accusative case of european sounds odd on it's own "buy european.. what?" It's like an unfinished sentence

[–] Jurkis@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago

"Pirk prekę europietišką", similar as we say "Pirk prekę lietuvišką".

What if you were to say instead "buy from Europe"? I don't speak Lithuanian but "pirk iš Europos" sounds a bit more succinct.

"Pirkite europietišką" or just "Pirk europietišką" are perfectly fine sentences in Lithuanian.
