The Latvian THANK YOU - how polite and kind are Latvians? | IRREGULAR LATVIAN LESSON 

In South Slavic languages "Thanks" is either praise (to you or upon you) or gift of good. In French it is "Merci!".

Irish : Dia dhuit , is a greeting meaning God be with you!

Your channel is really helpful! Liels paddies :). I was curious, so I've searched for the origin of "thank you" in my language. I'm from Czech Republic. And we say "děkuji" which comes from old German verb "denken"- and that means "to think". And the original meaning should be that when someone helps you, you're grateful for it. So after that you THINK of him/her in a positive/nice way.

Paldies, ka iemācījāt man "Paldies"!!!

Liels paldies Anete! 🙂 In the Slovak language, you say thank you - Ďakujem and Thank you very much - Ďakujem veľmi pekne :) Paldies for another informative and rewarding video! :)

labāk saņurcīts rublītis nekā liels paldies.

Since you asked... Paddies in Japanese is "Arigatou🥰" which is originally a very formal form of the adjective "arigatai", used to describe something that you are thankful for or that is "hard to come by" or "rare". So as you see it is a very roundabout way to thank someone, and not a direct way to thank them. Which is indeed a very Japanese way of expressing your feelings....😏

Paldies par vidiku!😏🍄

Congratulations on 10k subscribers, you never fail to make entertaining and informative videos. Paldies!

I didn't notice before that "uzteikt" have two meanings- one positive that you mentioned and one negative - uzteikt darbu - to quit the job.

What a wonderful way to wake up on a Saturday morning! Love your videos. Note to self: Don't take large sips of coffee as you will almost spit them out laughing so hard! Paldies!

Loving the humour! 😄 And congrats on the 10k subscribers!

Visitning Riga next week and your channel has been so helpful, thank you Germane!

Paldies

Hi I am interested the origin of the Latvian language and how it progressed during the years can you a make video of this please

Very nice presentation 👌

Liels paldies! I just found out I will be moving to Latvia soon for work, and your videos are such a fun way to start learning the language!

Apsveicu ar 10 tūkstošiem!

Love this! 🇱🇻

First of All, Congratulations on 10K subscribers, you deserve more than that:')) Secondly, I have just started learning The Latvian Language and starting with the Alphabets from your Channel, and it was very good ( Grateful for your help ). I hope, you will do like a video about steps because as beginner starting to learn new language, it is important to have a plan because somehow after learning the alphabets and greeting I got stuck in between what should I do after that..

Muchas gracias

Love you!

Arabic شكرا جزيلا ❤

And what about: Paldies jūms? In Hungary we say: Köszönöm - Thank you Köszönöm szépen - Tank you very much Köszi - Thanks 👍😄

Paldies, great videos I recently started to learn latvian. Do you give private lessons?

I'm surprised even as a male teacher in Latvia, I have gotten so many flowers as gifts.

PALDIES! :D Par video. Bet ir tomēr diezgan labas gribas cilvēku. Ir... Paldies Dievam.

I hope I can use Latvian in person one day.

Where to find a teacher like you? For online lessons??

Sveiki. Es saprotu lietuviešu un igauņu valodu. Kā latviski!

Visu cieņu 😊🙏

Do you do classes for languages exams?

QUESTION! Hi Germane! I love your channel! Would you please remind me what is the 'correct' translation of 'jet lag'? I am Latvian but it sounded so absurd, I could not remember it! Thank you!

Au Québec (Canada) on dit :" Merci"

In Lithuanian we say also say "dėkui", which has slavic roots. I looked for the explanation of the origin of "Ačiū" and one of them that it menas "atjaučiu" - I feel it.

Nu,nu,nu!

Liels paldies 🤗
