Күн бұрынSveiki, draugi!
A special greeting to you on the 18th of November - Latvia’s Independence day! Learn about the most sacred Latvian symbols, discover their history and meaning. Even though the traditional celebrations and gatherings will not take place this year, I hope that Latvians will still find a way to be together and celebrate this day!
I’m so happy and proud to be a citizen of Latvia - a country with such rich and interesting history, complex mentality, folklore and fascinating traditions. Thank you for letting me share them with you 😊

Love you Germane! You added historic meat to the bone of my fledgling understanding of complex Latvian culture. Much appreciation and extremely valuable for my research. The more I learn, the more my heart bursts with pride!

Thank you for sharing our culture and language! My mum grew up in Latvia before she moved to Bavaria after independence. I grew up speaking mostly Latvian with her before I went to school and forgot most of the language. Eventhough I speak really basic Latvian nowadays, I love this country with my whole heart. Your channel helps me with getting a bit better in the language :)

Sveiki and paldies for your comment! It is very heartwarming to see you say you love Latvia and are working on maintaining the connection. It is such a success on the part of your mum to have “placed” love for Latvia in your heart :))))

Another unofficial anthem while we still were under USSR was "Pūt vējiņi", when a choir sang it back in 1980s in LU Lielā aula (the great hall of the University of Latvia) everyone stood up. Sometimes I was in the choir, sometimes in the public.

I've never been to Latvia but I wear my grandfather's ring which my father gave me when I turned 16 (called him pomping Ojars). I've spotted and met fma few Latvians because I noticed a Namejs. When my son becomes a man he will be given my father's Namejs .I love the story behind that ring.

When you mentioned Aliexpress, fun fact, I was ordering some flags there, and when packages arrive, they always have a sticker of Latvijas Pasts (Iʼm from Serbia). Maybe then itʼs time to order a sarkanbaltsarkans.

Oh that’s wonderful to know that they’re not just producing it somewhere abroad. It must be because it’s so hard to get the correct tone :)

@@irregularLatvian Well, those were flags of various countries (Brazil, Russia, France, India, Philippines, etc...). I don’t exactly know where they are produced (probably China) and how all that logistics works, but it looks like they are at least passing through Latvia. Anyways, when I get Latvia’s flag, I’ll let you know how well the manufacturers did the job 😉
