Jauns gads, jaunas valodas: kuru valodu apgÅ«t 2026. gadā?

Kāds ir tavs ierastais Jaungada rituāls? Daudzi no mums, atvadoties no aizejoŔā gada, apdomā dažādas… hm… ā€œoptimistiskasā€ apņemÅ”anās. ā€œNo pirmā janvāra katru dienu sportoÅ”u!ā€ vai ā€œPārtikÅ”u tikai no zaļajiem dārzeņiem!ā€. GodÄ«gi? Lielākā daļa Å”o apņēmumu izgaisuÅ”i jau lÄ«dz februāra sākumam. Bet Å”ogad iesakām nospraust mērÄ·i, kas nesÄ«s izaugsmi, bÅ«s pilns piedzÄ«vojumu un varbÅ«t pat jaunu draudzÄ«bu: apgÅ«t jaunu valodu!

Kis-kis kauns nozīme latvieŔu valodā

Ko latvieÅ”u valodā nozÄ«mē izteiciens “Kis – kis kauns”?

Ko latvieÅ”u valodā nozÄ«mē 2025. gada masu protestos izmantotais izteiciens "Kis - kis kauns"? Å Ä« frāze bija viens no manifesta / plakātu / saukļu variantu piemēriem, kas tika oficiāli pieteikti protestam. Konkretizēts sauklis: ā€œKis, kis, kauns, likumprojekts ļaunsā€. Ar to protestētāji uzsvēra savu nosodÄ«jumu — savā veidā ā€œpiekauninājaā€ tos, kas atbalstÄ«ja izstāŔanos: teiciens darbojas kā kritisks, ironisks uzsaukums pret politisko lēmumu un tās pieņēmējiem.

Why Latvia Glows: The Meaning Behind November 18th

For Latvians, this day is deeply personal. It’s not just about a historical event from over a century ago. It is a celebration of the country's resilience. Latvia's independence was violently interrupted by Soviet and Nazi occupations from 1940 to 1991. The celebration of November 18th was forbidden during the Soviet era, making its reinstatement after 1991 all the more powerful.
