Standard Latvian Vocabulary - Count to 10

Hi Standard Latvian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will focus on learning how to count from 1 to 10 in Standard Latvian. Numbers are fundamental in any language, and it is essential to have a good knowledge of them to be able to communicate effectively. This lesson is an intermediate level, so it's perfect for those who already have some knowledge of Latvian. Don't worry if you're a beginner, though; I'm sure you'll pick it up in no time!

Learn How to Count from 1 to 10 in Standard Latvian

Let's start by looking at the numbers from 1 to 10 in Standard Latvian. Here's a table to help you:

Standard Latvian Pronunciation English
viens [viens] (vee-ehns) one
divi [divi] (dee-vee) two
trīs [tri:s] (trees) three
četri [tʃetʃɹi] (chuh-tree) four
pieci [pi:etsi] (pee-yets-ee) five
seši [seʃi] (seh-shi) six
septiņi [septini] (sehp-tee-nee) seven
astoņi [astohni] (ahs-toh-nee) eight
deviņi [devi:ni] (deh-vee-nee) nine
desmit [dɛsmit] (dehs-meet) ten

Make sure you take the time to learn the correct pronunciation of each number correctly. Focus on the accents as they are different from English. Try saying them aloud a few times to get used to the sounds.

Counting in Context: A Dialogue

Now that we've seen the numbers, let's practice using them in context. Here's a dialogue to help you get started:

  • Person 1: Cik ir pieci maisi? ([tsik eer pee-eh-tsi my-see]) (How many bags are there?)
  • Person 2: Pieci. ([pee-yetsi]) (Five.)
  • Person 1: Paldies! ([pal-dyes]) (Thank you!)
  • Person 2: Lūdzu! ([looh-dzoo]) (You're welcome!)

Interesting Facts

Did you know that the Latvian language has a long history? It has been spoken for over 1,500 years, and it is a Baltic language. It is closely related to Lithuanian and has a unique alphabet made up of 33 letters, including 6 vowels – a, e, i, ī, u, ū, and 27 consonants. It was also included in the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008.
