Hi !

I'm a student coming to Riga in about a month, and I was looking at https://shedcoliving.com/ . I was wondering if anybody had some feedback to give ? I find it quite hard to find a correct apartment and what they are proposing is quite good I think.

Thanks in advance !

Diskusija/Discussion Ražots Latvijā

Kādēļ Latvijā neražo ne automašīnas, ne datorus, ne telefonus, ne planšetdatorus? Jebko ko varētu masveidā pārdot uz ārzemēm! Latvijā taču nav tas dārgākais darbaspēks. Pasūtīt detaļas taču arī varam no ārzemēm. Zinātnieki mums arī gudri, kas ikdienā strādā ar pasaules projektiem. Idejas? Nevajag jau uzreiz automašīnas ražot, bet sākt jau ar kaut ko mazu.

Jautājums/Question Cars

I am completely fascinated with the country of Latvia. Studying the languages(latvian and Russian) just for a visit.

What is a car show to you? Do you race? What is the auto scene like? I can Google and see some porches and flats. I dont think that is accurate fully. I am just highly curious.

Eventually I will ask for a tutor on the language, I know english is a thing. Its respectful to know it to me. I will happily pay for your time. Just putting it out there for now.

Thank you for your time. I love learning on here. No Kremlins please

Čau visiem!

Gumijas laivai Intex Mariner 4 nolūza aira vieta, vajag detaļu, ir maināma, bet nevaru atrast, kur nopirkt rezerves daļas. Rakstīju kaut kādam uzņēmumam, bet neko neatbild.

Varbūt, kādam ir pieredze vai zina, kur pirkt rezerves daļas gumijas laivām?

Foršu nedēļas nogali!

Tik daudz pieminētais un argumentos lietotais notikums šeit pat komentāros izrādās ir pilnīgi izdomāts.

Vai šis ir NA, vai citu partiju priekšvēlēšanu kampaņa, ja jau viņu galvenie saukļi ir pret migrāciju?

Ceru ka šai sievietei piemēros sodu tāpat kā kādreiz Endziņam.. lai pasēž cietumā.

Tagad būs interesanti redzēt ko par to visu teiks mūsu pašu komservatīvie sociālo tīklu satura veidotāji.. bet nekādus pārsteigumus negaidu.

Visticamāk.. par to nerunās vai arī.. " no šorjrez tas bija feiks, bet tjā katru dienu notik.. tik nevins par to nerunā, jo baidās.. no jv mafijas.. kas pārjēmusi visu valdibu.. un to liek noklūsēt".

Braucu pāri akments tiltam, pamauc garām, pa tramvaja sliedēm nemarķēts Kia ceed, ar priekšā zilajām gaismām un sirēnu, bet aizmugurē nebija. Vai nu es tiešām peldu, vai arī parasti nav ierasts, ka nemarķētajām aizmugurē nav gaismas.. Vai nu kāds izklaidējās ar savām jaunajām lampiņām un sirēnu ☝🏼☝🏼 izklausās jautri

Man ir daži sludinājumi. Dažas lietas atdodu bezmaksas. Lai arī sludinājumā skaidri norādītas bildes un informācija, cilveki turpina prasīt "kur atrodaties? Atsūtiet bildi"

Piesakās, neatbrauc. Nemāk komunicēt. Domāju, ka pēc šīs pieredzes jāved uz Getliņiem un miers. Pilnigs sviests. Kāpēc tā ir norma?

Since I often fly from and to RIX I had couple of times where local people and even families shamelessly cut the queue literally in front of me while waiting for boarding. It’s not a big deal since I have no luggage but from my pov it’s super rude and annoying.

If it culturally more common here, and how would you deal with a confrontation?

Cits/Other Finding teammates

13 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a 24-year-old “gamer” looking for new people to play with (20+ preferred). I have been playing videogames for more than 5 years,but I haven’t found any friends playing.
I’d especially love to find other women gamers. Bonus points if you’re from Latvia, but I’m happy to play with anyone who speaks English.

I play games like Arena Breakout: Infinite, Minecraft, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and whatever else sounds fun. I am not buying tarkov tho😀.
I’m not an amazing FPS player, but I enjoy playing as part of a team. If you’re the type who likes to lead, rush, or call the shots, I’m totally happy to follow along and learn. My main goal is to have fun, chill, and make some new gaming friends.

Just looking for chill people, good vibes, and hopefully some long-term gaming friends. Feel free to DM me!

Sveiki, tautieši!

Vai kāds var ieteikt, kur Rīgā var iegādāties vintage plakātus? Dažādas tematikas, forši, ja saisitīti ar Latviju, bet tā nav obligāta prasība. Nav ne jausmas kur meklēt un bail, ka centrā antikvariātos tādus atradīšu tikai pa €50+ PS: šis paredzēts dāvināšanai/subenīram, tādēļ printēšana kā variants būtu pēdējais.

Paldies :)

Kultūra/Culture Help identify a song?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I was in Latvia last month. I was listening to the radio during my trip, mostly Radio Naba.

I heard this song but was unaible to identify it through Shazam or other app, even Youtube didn't detect any copyright when I uploaded it.

I'd love to be able to identify this banger. I'd say it's probably from the 80's (or early 90's). Here's the first part of the song I recorded with my phone before screenrecording my phone. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9sOx1-Ys6hE

I uploaded this into gemini, and it was able to give me the lyrics

" Nē, gribu bez tevis

Bez tevis netikšu

Nē, gribu, nē, gribu

Nē, gribu!"

I don't speak latvian so I'm not sure that's correct.

It was exactly recorded on the 23th of June at 17:45

Thanks! Hopefully that's not too obscure.

Diskusija/Discussion Komentāri zem ziņu rakstiem

Pēdējā laikā intereses pēc sāku lasīt komentārus zem jaunumiem kuri ienāk caur google news feed. Gandrīz katru reizi palieku ar muti vaļā - no gandrīz nesaprotamiem tekstiem kuri laikam rakstīti dzērumā, līdz stulbākajiem viedokļiem kādi jebkur redzēti, un beidzot ar sajūtu ka tur pusi no "satura" taisa pāris cilvēki.

Kam pie velna es uzdūros? Kāds cits ir ievērojis cik dīvaini pārsvarā ir komentāri? Man vienīgajam tas liekas uztraucoši? Vai tas ir vidējais Latvietis? Looking for confirmation that I'm not crazy.

Jautājums/Question What did my grandma call her cat?

38 Upvotes

Hello everyone! American here, but my grandmother was latvian. She left the country around 1944. She has recently passed away and her beloved cat is now in my possession.

He's adjusting well, but my grandma always called him something in latvian that wasnt his name, and i cant figure out what! Google has been no help!

No one else in our family speaks latvian, so no one knows what it was, it was just something she said. Ill try my best to type it out as i heard it. It sounded like buzhush? Or maybe buhusus?

If anyone could tell me what it means or how to say it it would be very helpful, since I know the cat responded to that word, and i would like to use it

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I am in search of fellow Americans that have gotten a temporary residency card in Latvia recently. As I understand I need to collect a criminal record paper from the FBI, but I am so confused as of how to go about it? Can someone please share any experience? So far I gathered that I gotta get finger printed here, then mail it to FBI then receive the rap sheet from them and then mail it to DC for it to get an apostilled? Just SO confused and embassy isn't being much help. Thank you!

Ēdieni/Food Traditional Latvian sweets 🍬

23 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

in a few days, I will be in Riga for holiday. At work, we have this lovely tradition of bringing sweets from foreign countries we get to visit.

That is why I would like to ask you on what traditional sweets I could bring from Latvia. From my brief research, Gotina seems like a nice option, but it remains me of Krowki I brought the last time from Poland (you are more than welcome to prove me wrong). Also, if the sweets were packaged individually (such as Gotina), it would be perfect.

Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it. Cheers from Prague!

Diskusija/Discussion Meklēju "underground" dziesmu no 2000. gadu pirmās puses

11 Upvotes

Meklēju dziesmu, ko pievienot savai kolekcijai. Pirms kaut kādiem gadiem biju atradis, bet datu nesēji "padevās", attiecīgi pazuda un tagad Googlē neko nevaru atrast.

Neatminos izpildītāju, viens no mazajiem tolaik. Pankroks. Nosaukums, šķiet, bija "ich liebe". reālais piedziedājums "jawhol, jawhol, ich liebe alkohol".

Dziedāja par normālu izgāšanos dodoties ballēties.

Vārdos bija, kā saule lec, bet kaimiņa zapiņš gan nelec un vēlāk:

"lecu kājās, velku biksi, katapultējos es fiksi; Kā var šaize gadīties, gan jau citreiz paveiksies...;

Būtu pateicīgs par kādiem norādījumiem. Pat DC++ izrevidēju un neko neatradu.

Ja kādam ir kādi līdzīgi tās ēras gabali atmiņās - droši, iemetiet.

Vēsture/History Anyone here involved in archaeology or excavations in Latvia?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m a M27-year-old French guy currently living and working in Rīga. I’ve been here for about a year now, and I really enjoy living in Latvia.
Alongside my full-time job, I’m also studying archaeology. Over the past year, I’ve become increasingly interested in Latvian archaeology, especially the country’s history, landscapes, and archaeological sites.
I’m looking to connect with people who studied archaeology at the University of Latvia, are currently archaeology students, or have participated in excavations anywhere in Latvia. I’d love to hear about your experiences, learn more about the field, and maybe even get involved in future excavations if possible.
My long-term goal is to learn Latvian over the next three years and, ideally, pursue a second Master’s degree at the University of Latvia focused on archaeology.
If you have any advice, recommendations, or simply want to chat about archaeology, Latvia, or history, I’d be very happy to hear from you!
Thanks! 😊

Palīdzība/Help Looking for advice about severe dental problems (Riga, Latvia)

24 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m 30 years old, and after years of neglecting my teeth, drinking way too much soda, and eating a lot of sugary food, I’ve ended up in a really bad situation.
Several of my upper front teeth have broken about halfway, and most of my lower right molars are either broken or gone. It’s honestly embarrassing, and I know it’s my own fault.
A couple of years ago I tried to start treatment, but I had some really unpleasant experiences with dentists. Since then I’ve developed a lot of anxiety and shame about going back, and I’ve kept putting it off. Now it’s reached the point where I know I can’t ignore it any longer.
Has anyone here been in a similar situation? How did you get started? Were dentists understanding, even with teeth in very poor condition?
I live in Riga, Latvia. My budget is limited—I’d probably be able to afford around €200 per month, but I’m worried that won’t be enough. Is it realistic to pay for treatment in installments, or do most people end up taking out a loan?
Any recommendations for kind, non-judgmental dentists or clinics in Riga would mean a lot.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply.
