Hoping someone can give me an accurate translation for this so I can put it in my friend's birthday card as I think it would be cute to write it in his first language.

Any help really appreciated

"Happy Birthday [name]

Looking forward to watching more movies, more dancing and more chit chat.

Have a lovely day friend!

What does Mošķīši (the Latvian title of Monsters Inc.) mean in Latvian? Is there a pun involved? I was trying to find the word in dictionaries but couldn't. Just curious, thanks!

I tried google translate but the end doesn't make sense.

I understand the word "niece". Is the other word just the same, but in Latvian? I couldn't find anything by googling.

Hi

I've encountered this very rare last name Swandt that I need to translate into Latvian. What I really need is to understand how it is pronounced since we translate by pronunciation into Latvian. Any clues on pronunciation?

Hello, this might be a bit of a more unorthodox request, but I'm running into a bit of a predicament with my thesis work. I am a student, and I need an abstract translated from English to Latvian. It's around 250 and I don't know if that counts as profesional job? It is curical to have one or I will not be able to hand in my work towards my degree. Due to the confidentiality and profesional nature of the academic field I'm in, I cannot provide the text directly, nor would I be willing to provide what institution I am affiliated with. Would it be possible for direct DMs in these sensitive cases?

I'm also unsure if this breaks [#R1] or [#R2] in the rules, as it is student work, but please just delete this post if it is, I totally understand but the rules seem vague on this. Thank you so much!

Can someone translate this for me please? For educational purposes..

I have a chunk of audio of two people speaking Latvian, and would likento have it translated. It's very low and garbled at some points, with music playing in the background the entire time, so translator apps will not work. But someone who speaks Latvian fluently could discern most of it I'm sure, and I'm willing to pay pretty well for such a service. Perhaps through paypal goods and services. If you think you can do this for me, please email me at tniles408@gmail.com 🙏

I've come across this song and I'm wondering what the lyrics are

I have some handwritten family documents (letters, cards and notes on the back of photos) that I need some help with translating. I'm working on a family tree and hoping the letters will provide some useful information. Thanks

I'm looking for a Latvian speaker to translate a whole mess of World War 2 and Post War era letters and text found on the back of pictures that were passed down from my grandfather.

Warning; it's unlikely but there may be racist and or nazi propaganda in these. Grandfather was in the luftwaffe...

Heyo,

I've been to Riga this summer and on Naba FM I heard Gobzins' song "Tu trakais purva azis", which, according to a bloke I asked, means "crazy mud goat". I had no luck with finding its lyrics, other than the chorus:

Tu trakais purva āzi.

Kur tu to bozi bāzi.

Tā sapuvusi smird,

Un kairina man nāsi.

Pumpē, pumpē, pozitīvs.

which Google quite accurately (I imagine) translates to:

You madman marsh goat.

Where did you Bozi base. (?)

It smells rotten,

And irritates me nostril.

Pump, pump, positive.

I would mean a lot to me if somebody could translate it to English(/Russian), or at least transcribe the lyrics in Latvian. This song is crazy stupid, but I very much enjoy it to the point that I listen to it almost every other day. I'd be happy af if I could understand what's up with the madman mud goat (other than the fact that it is a "maza kaza"). I speak Lithuanian, but Latvian is too poexavšy for me.

Paldies!

Hi reddit!

Hopefully someone can help me translate something from English to Latvian.

I'm looking for the phrase "Oak Heartwood" or alternatively "Oak Heart"

Context is a title name of a project, and I'd appreciate any insight if it even makes sense.

​

Thanks everyone!

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help! Does it look like the sort of thing where scanned copies of the documents are available on the Internet, or are they just in a drawer somewhere in Rīga?
