LATVIAN ALPHABET PART 2 | LEARN LATVIAN

#LatvianAlphabet Welcome back to the Latvian Alphabet part 2. In this video, we cover the letters H--Ņ and relevant knowledge about Latvia - the Baltic country with its own unique language. Have FUN!!!
What's your favorite word in Latvian?
If you're a foreigner - why study Latvian? :)

[@nitramuz]

As a half latvian who has forgotten the alphabet this is very good, thank you!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

The two Ns are very easy, and the 2nd one is pronounced ni as in Spanish, but I cannot tell the difference between the two Ls, they literally sound the same! By the way, I highly recommend learning Latvian 2gether with the prettiest languages ever created Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic and also Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Faroese / Danish which are the prettiest and most refined and most poetic and most heavenly and coolest languages ever that are way too pretty not to know, plus they are all very easy, as pretty languages with pretty words are naturally easy to memorize and are naturally fun to learn! I am quite new to Latvian, as I only discovered it a few months ago, and it seems to be a pretty language with mostly pretty words, from what I have seen so far, so it’s on my list of target languages, same as Slovene, and I am total beginner in Latvian, so I only know a few words at the moment, and I’ve just started learning the sounds and alphabet, and I noticed that many words are similar to the Lithuanian words, and when I see a word that is prettier in Lithuanian I use it in Latvian, and I also do the same in Slovene when I see a word in Slovak that is prettier than the Slovene word, then every word will be pretty!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Can anyone tell the difference between the two L letters, and maybe explain the difference?

Horvātija ❤ Greetings from Hrvatska (Croatia), when you mentioned my country, it warmed my lil heart ❤

[@irregularLatvian]

Hello! Awww that’s so cute :))) lovely to have you on board :)

[@EvilDragon666]

@@irregularLatvian Same here. Compared to other countries you listed, at least the root of how us Croats call ourselves is still there! I was also rather surprised that you have a lot of letters that we have too, and also read them the same way (Č, DŽ, Š). I therefore dub Latvians - honorary Slavs! :D BTW, your letters Ņ and Ļ are NJ and LJ in Croatian. :)

[@GamelutioN1]

Hahahaahah. Funny as hell! :D I was wondering if the soft N is pronounced as Ñ in Spanish??

[@juulijabite]

Similar to that. More like n in new, though.

[@eduardoagudelo8250]

The Latvian Ņ, I find the same sound as the Ñ in Spanish. Your video is interesting, I love the language, thanks for the skill.🤩

[@irregularLatvian]

True! Then it will be easier for you to learn if you already have the tongue position ;))

[@eduardoagudelo8250]

Hi! I am SO glad to hear my videos are inspiring you to learn Latvian. Keep it up! :))

[@FrozenMermaid666]

The misused superiority term wf must be edited out, and there must be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śínńing - I am the only wf / gf / bride etc and I only reflects me (ppl must say i without capital letter) and love only exists for me and is only meant for me the pure being and the only lovable / loved being, and ręłationships are only means for us pure beings (me and the pure protectors aka the alphas) and the words man and stone and luk etc also only reflect the protectors and cannot be misused in names or yt names and must be changed, and ‘ręłationships’ were never meant for ppl and what ppl refer to as that is a j., and also, the only right reason to learn new languages is for their pretty and poetic words, the pretty languages being the only languages that should be learnt, and should be learnt for their artistic value, not due to bęhtüh bęhävior lol!

I can't pronounce soft K. I literally don't understand the sound of it. It's the only one Latvian sound that baffles me.

[@irregularLatvian]

Noted! I’ll do a video on it :)

[@siebensunden]

Haha, the word ípašíba sounds so funny, like some child gibberish. :D Once again, surprised with the soft K letter, which sounds to me more like Czech Ť letter.

[@irregularLatvian]

Haha! Child gibberish?! Never heard that said about Latvian before. Love It! :)

[@siebensunden]

@@irregularLatvian Can't help myself but I'm coming back often to listen to ípašíba because it's ípašíba of cuteness. :D I'm thinking of any Czech word sounding so funny. Probably žížala is one of them which is Czech word for earthworm.

[@irregularLatvian]

@@siebensunden hahaha and that one makes me thing of something wet and gooey!! Perfect word for a worm. Ours is “tārps” :)

[@siebensunden]

@@irregularLatvian We also use the word "dešťovka" for earthworm which literally means she-rain because when it's raining you can find many earthworms on the pavement escaping the drowning in the wet soil. In Czech the word for worm (fly worm and so) is "červ". Your "tárps" doesn't reminds me anything similar in my language.

[@olexanderdanko7001]

I struggle way more with Ķ over Ļ but that’s just me… because Ļ is just soft L and Ķ I’ve heard pronounced as “Tj”, “K”, and “Ch” depending on how fast you say it and the word. How can you even tell the difference?

[@MinMinn192]

Ideally, there shouldn't be any difference, but not everyone has perfect enunciation. Soundwise, it actually is very similar to the Russian 'ть', or a 'tj', which Wikipedia describes as a palatalized t sound. Ironically, those pronouncing it as 'k' are likely native Russian speakers, as a strong Russian accent in Latvian shows up as ignored long vowels and lack of palatalization where it should be, among other things. If they are pronouncing it as 'ch', they either have a lisp or are foreign speakers. Thankfully, unlike the long/short vowel sounds, it's extremely unlikely that messing up the ķ sound will change the meaning of the word.
