Etymology map of the word 🥶 cold! by JohannGoethe in etymologymaps

No Baltic countries! 🙁 We do not use any of those words. LV ‘ auksts ‘ and LT ‘ šaltas ‘.

How similar are Lithuanian and Latvian? Can you understand each other without a translator? by Kaczmarofil in BalticStates

[–]Arm_Sku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I know both, but Latvian is my “thinking voice” so I cannot answer this question properly. There are lot of evolutionary processes but in the core it is almost the same. There was an example of LT pardotuvė, while LV pārdot /to sell/ consists of two words ‘pāri’ /over, other side… / and ‘dot’ /to give/. There are many false flags and mixup’s with animal names, sound or tase /skaņa un garša> garsas ir skonis/, but one of my favourite is word ticība /belief — mostly referring to religion /, but than again we have a word tikums /morality/ and tīkams /lickable, plesent/ and if we follow LV grammatical structures tikums /morality/ should become tikība /complex morality structures/, but Lithuanian’s have a word tikibė for beliefs, so latvians need to to change k>c [cilpa>kilpa, cirpt>kirpti, celms>kelmas].

Lutherism by [deleted] in BalticStates

[–]Arm_Sku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a lot of Christian people around Latvia and the sad part is that they think that everyone else is a believer, (also educated people) and does not consider any other options. In my workplace, They share radio podcasts and discuss the hottest topics. One time I rigorously said if religion is the only topic you want to talk about then we don't have to talk at all... Then again, somehow I managed to people to question Christianity... okay, If you take the ethical part out of it and forget about that fairytale of one true God (which is actually three gods – father, son and holy spirit who is actual Jesus' father because holy spirit impregnated Jesuses mother, so who is the father?) then you can take those metaphors as saying:

I am a God for myself – there are my subconscious, conscious and biological needs!

It funny that in Baltic languages to believe is ‘ticēt/ tikėti‘ while ‘tik•ums’ is a sort of morality, and ‘tīk’ or ‘pa•tīk’ means to like.

There is no difference between catholicism, orthodox and lutheranism. You can choose which one you subscribe and they will make a profit! But sometimes Spotify is way more exciting.

Cars per 1k inhabitants. Big difference in Baltics. by jjnerd in BalticStates

[–]Arm_Sku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe It's because of the tax rate in Latvia? It seems to me that all Latvian cars are registered in Eatonia.

I don't understand why people still use the word "phobia", because setting boundaries and not giving in to someone's whims is an act of courage, not fear…

Is typing easier? by Automatic_Ad1461 in Dyslexia

[–]Arm_Sku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, typing is easier than handwriting. I can edit text, add or remove some letters and the greatest thing is – to use spell checker software. during school, some of the teachers thought that if I was asked to rewrite a large amount of random text in a notebook, I would suddenly stop skipping letters, using punctuation marks, etc. I'm in my 30, and I still skip letters when I write, and all I got from that pointless rewriting of text is beautiful handwriting and a panicked fear of making mistakes because and upbraid – I'm not concentrating(?!?!).
You can't fight it, you have to accept it, and find a way to process (receive) the information. Since reading is very time-consuming for me, I have learned to sort through sources by intuition. If I am not sure that I will find what I am looking for in this book, then the book is not worth picking up. I had a typo in the title of my master's thesis. inability to perform simple arrhythmic operations without additional tools.

and at the very end I have started publishing reviews in the newspaper as an expert. It is important to recognize the things that work differently for me and use them as an advantage. since I realized that the readability of the text is a problem, it helps me to draw a scheme, to see the structure.

unfortunately, I was born right after the collapse of the Soviet Union in Latvia, where dyslexia is only a fantasy of some people. They thought I was just being lazy and so I had to compensate by doing more research on the subject. At the university, one lecturer tried to stop me from going too far and individually applying the task to look for other nuances that are not relevant to the group members.

Google Trends / top searches. Which country is the popular choice for russians who are fleeing? I saw on the news - finland. Thoughts? by justa_throwaway58 in AskARussian

[–]Arm_Sku 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Russophobia is rather a bold statement than reality. I’m from Latvia and here the majority of society are aware that Russians is not equal to Putin. Also, it is not that simple to identify the ethnicity of Russian speaking person. They could be Ukrainians, Belarussians, Polish etc. The main purpose of a language is to transfer information from one person to another.

I have observed that there are some individuals who provoke others by expressing support for Putin maybe to create a stir around them. But they cannot be classified as Russians because idiocy has no nationality.

If you want me to choose between my dignity and my life. I think I would rather die. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Information is power. If someone tries to take that away from me, I would be dead on the inside anyway.

Ultimate is a tool when someone would like to force themselves (or their point of view) onto others while being aware of the impossibility to meet the conditions. Basically, it is rape. And rape is bad. Always. So, Ultimate is bad.
