LATVIAN GREETINGS PART 2 | IRREGULAR LATVIAN LESSON

[@LeksiTalksALot]

As a Latvian American, I understand my sense of humor now. Didn’t realize there were Latvian mannerisms and watching Anete is making me realize how similar we are in subtle ways

[@irregularLatvian]

Ahhh comment like these are My dreams coming true :)

[@ИванСидоров-к9м]

Paldies! Es mācos latviešu valodu. Man ļoti patīk jūs stundas.

[@yourmorningcracker]

ok, I'm absolutely fascinated by this girl and she made me want to learn Latvian, though I haven't decide yet for what purpose!

[@judesnowden5618]

I absolutely love these videos! I found them while trying to learn the Latvian alphabet and I feel like I've learned so much not just about the words but Latvian culture in a few short videos! I can't wait to see what comes next! Paldies!

[@Folky_potato]

As an estonian speaker I am shocked at how many estonian words are similar to latvian. 🇱🇻❤🇪🇪

[@anabeatrizapsepaes7175]

As someone who plans on going to study in Latvia, formal and polite greetings/sayings would be totally useful! Great lesson!!

[@honza_88]

In Czechia we have the word Čau, which is pronounced the same as in Latvian 😀 I absolutely love Latvian 🇱🇻❤️

[@TE77Y]

Just starting my Latvian journey and am so glad I found you! You are fantastic 😃

[@MVRDaniel]

Paldies for the videos! I am trying to learn some Latvian as my grandmother immigrated from there to the US during WWII and I am trying to become a Latvian citizen by ancestry so I need to learn Latvian! Your videos are very helpful and you are very kind to make them. :)

[@blondeguyy4944]

I’m latvian but I can’t really speak properly so this is why I’m hear

[@neilgordon9665]

Hello. I visited Riga two years ago and can't wait to return - probably this winter for a much longer stay. I've discovered and enjoyed your videos immensely; they are educational and entertaining, and you are so beautiful (though far too young for me, hahaha).

[@MapsCharts]

Very interesting :) Just a little note, the cities are pulling up the average population density a lot in France, but I live in the diagonal of emptiness (that's how we call it) and the density is about 20 people/km² here, and it's even lower in places like Lozère or Guyane, so I don't know if that's really the best example, France is extremely sparsely populated compared to our neighbours 🙂

[@kazkaskazkas8689]

A few fun things that I notice as a Lithuanian: - Latgalian seems closer to Lithuanian than regular Latvian. - 'Sveikas' ('sveika') means 'healthy' in Lithuanian. And is also used as a greeting - just like in Latvia. Only in Latvia it does not have the meaning 'healthy'. So saying 'vesels' ('healthy' in Latvian) for greeting someone is kind of close to Lithuanian in a way. - 'Čiau' (same as 'čau') was quite popular in Lithuania when I was a kid, but it was only used as 'bye', not as 'hi'. Nowadays, I rarely hear it in Lithuania while in Latvia it is super popular.

[@irregularLatvian]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! When somebody is safe And sound We say “sveiks un vesels” - “healthy 🇱🇹 And healthy 🇱🇻 ” :))

[@selenasueballantyne4870]

This is such a lovely series and super helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!

[@Ryani0]

As a Latgalian, I can assure you, that now 90% of us even know the dialect. If some guy greets me "Latgalian way", I would just think they're being a weirdo 😅

[@SteveWilliamsD]

Thank so much for your fun, useful and humorous videos! I intend to visit Latvia for an extended period of time. I will at least have a few words in preparation!

[@timomalmstedt7988]

Thank you for your great videos! As a Finn I find the concept of viensētnieks very familiar. Living in densely populated central parts of Europe, I often miss being viensētnieks and the population density of 18 per km2.

[@FahdJan]

Great content. I am surprised you don't have many more subscribers. There is so little good quality Latvian language content available on KZbin. Your channel is probably the best. Thank you for the videos. I feel like making similar videos for Urdu language.

[@irregularLatvian]

Thank you! It makes me happy to read such nice comments! :) Make videos!! :)

[@elenasirota]

The answer is very easy, these lessons should be not in English, because few people from West would like learn Latvian. The lessons should be in Russian and believe me she will get more subscribers.

[@MatthewBDolson]

These videos are awesome ! These are informative, broken down so they are not drawn out and you keep it interesting and fun. I enjoy these after my first trip to Latvia and I’m in love with the people, area, and culture. I’m working on trying to learn the language and these have been the best I’ve cam across. Also any other help or other resources you are aware of that you could share that would be helpful

[@marcj3682]

I love the way you say hello at the beginning of your videos.

[@gunnarfromnorth2504]

Oficiāli 'Sveiki' lieto tikai lai atvadītos! Tauta vienkārši ir pieradusi lietot sveicinoties.

[@liquidl5380]

It's really fascinating to me how many important root words I learned at Latvian Language camp so many years ago. Like setina/the gated yard I remember is in Badu Manū Likely Bãdu (I might have the accents wrong).

[@honza4371]

In Czechia we use Čau (Yeah, it is witten the same way as in latvian) also, it is more informal and usually younger people use it. But is pronounced like Čāu

[@tdeen752]

These videos are so much fun. well done!

[@irregularLatvian]

Thank you!! :))

[@BlakeBee]

why do you have only 609 subscribers...... you should have more!! your videos are so simple and intuitive.

[@blazingpinecone]

Brilliant presenting skills and homour. Didn't see your video about how to talk on the phone. Curious when to use "sveiki" and "čau".

[@daumantsshnore6950]

A joyful lesson. Sincere. Honest. Paldies

[@Javlafan]

Here in Estonia we use "tsau" as well. Although we use it only as a "goodbye" :))

[@kathrynpalmer-skillings8587]

Loving these videos - I'd love to learn the polite form for Welcome everyone/Good Day Everyone (everyone as a group of people I need to be polite to. I assume Labdien Jus? (we won't be in their home)...

My daughters boyfriend is Latvian and I want tot make an effort so am trying a few phrases. So far I have used 'Lab dien' which he liked, would it be suitable to say 'Cau, vesels kaimin'?

Great video 😆 !!! In Lithuania we use čiau too but only for goodbye and long time ago when i found out that in Italy its a greeting and its also for a hi I thougt wow that so wierd 🤣 Its very in teresting that Latvians use like that too

[@irregularLatvian]

Oh yes, we use čau all the time!! Probably even more than sveiki!

[@daumantsshnore6950]

In America too. Whatever becomes fashionable. Probably from Italian movies, but it started with a student from Italy.

If there is 4 traditional regions of LV and not only 3, how come the statue of freedom (Tevzemei und Brivibai) in Riga is holding only 3 stars above? Should be 4 than.

"Vesels" can also mean "Bless you" when someone sneezes

[@kanna1891]

Čau ! I am an international student from India. I’m trying to learn Latvian. You videos are awesome ! I’m trying to attempt for A1 ! Should I practice with some books ? Can you suggest me some ideas to learn ?

[@irregularLatvian]

If you go to a bookstore like Jānis Roze, Valters un Rapa or others they must have little books for foreigners to learn Latvian. They are hands because they have all of the grammar rules you need to get you started but they are not very interesting. Your best bet is to Find A Latvian buddy :)

[@kanna1891]

Germane Thank you for your advice. But Latvians are not so friendly 😁 No offence. I’ll try what you said. What are your other suggestions for learning the language ?

[@irregularLatvian]

It depends on your level. If you already know some basics you can try watching Tv or films. If not then your best bet is to try and learn some vocabulary - apps like DuoLingo might be useful. :)

[@kanna1891]

Germane Thank you so much 😊

[@theotherplaceswithkirkjord6765]

@@irregularLatvian OK, question: is it appropriate to hug and/or cheek kiss when greeting someone in Latvia? Obviously no, if in a business situation, but if meeting a friendat a pub or introduced to their friends? Keep up the great videos! Paldies!

[@irregularLatvian]

The Other Places with Kirk Jordan my first instinct would be to say no. We hug, when we’re friends but usually Latvians are not the people to engage in physical contact with strangers. Then.. times are changing. So I guess it would depend on the person. Then again even after living in countries where it’s normal to kiss each other on the cheek it is not something that comes naturally :)

[@bobi7152]

Oddly enough English has started to come full circle on the second person plural pronoun and in some dialects it is not uncommon to hear people use „yous“ to specifically mean the plural. Which sounds a bit too much like jūs for comfort.

Slightly disagree, beer is cheap in Germany while in LV it is rather expensive. Good brands like Valmiermuiža or Tervete cost rather 2 Euros per bottle while in GER good brands are 0,85 to 1,20. But on the orther hand LV beers have good quality and what you get for the price is good value. Fair enough to latvijenize the world!
