Numbers, days of the week and telling the time as an introduction (Latvian, 5. grade)
How it works
In this topic, you will learn the Latvian cardinal numbers from 1 to 12, the days of the week, and simple times. Numbers such as ‹viens› (one), ‹divi› (two), ‹trīs› (three) are the basis for counting. The days of the week are called, for example, ‹pirmdiena› (Monday), ‹otrdiena› (Tuesday), ‹trešdiena› (Wednesday), etc. To tell the time, you will encounter forms such as ‹Ir pulksten pieci.› ("It is five o’clock."). In expressions like "at five o’clock," you will also encounter the form ‹pulksten piecos›. Correct spelling and pronunciation of numbers and days of the week are important for being able to communicate in everyday life. Example: ‹Šodien ir trešdiena.› means "Today is Wednesday."
Latvian numbers from 1 to 12: ‹viens›, ‹divi›, ‹trīs›, ‹četri›, ‹pieci›, ‹seši›, ‹septiņi›, ‹astoņi›, ‹deviņi›, ‹desmit›, ‹vienpadsmit›, ‹divpadsmit›. Many days of the week end in ‹-diena›. Full times can, for example, be given with ‹Ir pulksten septiņi.›. In expressions like "at seven o’clock," ‹pulksten septiņos› often appears.
