For the record that dress was my mom's sleeping gown. Yes she gave me permission.
Swamps, ghost towns, pagan masks horrible pronunciations (hehe I called it "screwed-na") and really tall women, (tallest average in the world!) Welcome to #LATVIA!
barbs is the best
Geography Now awesome video
Geography Now did you have to use a picture of the old Euros? - as old series €5, €10, €20 & €50 notes have now been withdrawn. Also none of those notes ever entered circulation as they are the initial designs drawn up in 1999 before they got updated etc. Just letting you know as I’m sure you like to represent the country as accurately as possible!
Skola is also school in Swedish
Geography Now you messed up school in Lithuanian is mokykla skolos means debts
I'm a simple Lithuanian. I see Latvia I upvote
And it is the same for us latvians to lithuania, xd
Same :)
Same lol
I thougt. That I was only Lithuanian 😂
Bahaha same
Proud to be Latvian! :)

Yep saammee
sameee, it's so weird to hear them say the names-

You forgot “brain storm” which is the most popular and loved band in Latvia :)
Yes
not the most loved.
Sandis tv Grupa ir zināma arī pasaulē un tas ir otrais nosaukums. Kāpēc, lai nevarētu viņu izmantot zem video par Latviju, kurš ir angliski?
@@sandistv5562 Kas tev niez ? Grupas nosaukums ir “Prāta vētra / BrainStorm”. Esmu pārliecināts, ka tas bija domāts tam kurš veidoja video.
Isn't it "Mind Storm"?/ Vai tad nav "Mind Storm"?
Keith dancing in the background gave me 5 years of life
i almost die from laughing
Reddit comment that seems true to me:
"Everytime Latvia gets mentioned, outside of Latvia, an angel gets his wings."
i can confirm its true!
I am from Suomi (Finland) and I used to talk about Latvija, sadli havent been there yet, only in Estonia Tallinn. Atleast you Latvians know to say Somija instead of the Swedish way, nothing wrong about Swedes tho, lol. And I thought it was only when Suomi is mentioned by foreighners was big news. My people make it a big thing, never thought how you Latvijans see it, sorry.
In Lithuanian we also say Suomija and people living there are called "Suomiai"
Finnish get alchocol from Estonia, Estonians - Latvia, Latvians - Russia.
Urtė Račytė - Thanks, ačiū! In Suomi we say Latvia and Liettua for the countries people as latvialainen and liettualainen. In finnish nationalities and languages are not with capital letters.
I am from Latvia the language is pretty hard, but how he tried to pronounce cities of Latvia just killed me 😂
Ah yes, the countries of Latvia...
countries of Latvia :DD
IN USSR LATVIA WAS BETTER
Easier than Lithuanian and Estonian, though tbf.
Latvian has six participles, Lithuanian has thirteen.
I am studying history in Estoniaa and I was really surprised that Latvia and Lithuania are only two remaining Baltic languages and that baltic languages are the oldest languages in Europe :)
I have visited Latvia and Lithuanoia and I think that your language is beautiful but yes :D very hard to learn :D
sending a lot of love to you from Estonia :)
I`m from Estonia and I love my southern neighbours.
I'm from Finland and I love my southern brothers who sell cheap booze
@@chrislfc2317 estonians go to latvia for that cheap stuff
Just a note. In Latvian all words are stressed on the first syllable. You've stressed all Latvian names on the last syllable, the exact opposite of how words in Latvian are pronounced.
I could swear Bill Rebane is an Estonian name
Vins nav latvietis, tapec grutak izrunat
@@skeppymuffins3412 Protams mūsu valstī ir daudz krievu kuri spēj runāt latviešu valodā bet viņiem ir 90% liels akcents runājot un sarežģīti izrunāt vārdus ar garumzīmēm un mīkstinājumiem.

We Estonians feel close to Finland because of similar culture, language etc. BUT we love you Latvia and Lithuania because of our similar pasts, because you understand what we’ve been through! Anyway, why do we have to catogorize? Estonia can be Nordic and Baltic at the same time. Estonia is complex, it’s not like anything else. We are a mix. That is why I love our flag so much. It shows how different we are, it’s unique 🇪🇪
There were 4 Baltic states before 1940. Lithania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland.
Latvia is a mix, too! Even more than Estonia in certain aspects. Having both Baltic and Finnic tribes as ancestors and speaking the only first-syllable-stress Indo-European language, Latvians can surely relate to both Lithuania and Estonia as their brothers. :) Livonian period connects us more to Estonia and so does the high density of forests and low density of people.
@@elitaviksna4985 never seen a source stating that. Can you share?
Used to be a part of the Swedish empire along with Finland for a long time.
Thanks for liking our Latvian language i happy to have Estonia as brothering country! I also love your flag it's really cool and unique! Thank you much i love your country!🇪🇪❤🇱🇻
Latvia is a beautiful country with even more beautiful history! Love from Poland 🇵🇱❤️🇱🇻

As a Lithuanian, Latvians are adorable. Whenever I visit I can't stop awww'ing at how cute their language is.

Bet Google to teikumu iztulkoja ar pilnīgi pretējo domu :D
MC King-Minecraft It sounds like a cute and slightly retarded version of Lithuanian. And I'm sure Latvians think our language is a retarded version of Latvian as well. We can sort of understand each other. And the signs in Latvia made me laugh my ass off. For example there's a slogan of some cafe in Riga that says "Vieta kur paēst!' which, in Lithuanian means virtually the same - 'a place to eat' but "paėst" is basically a rude /animal version of 'to eat' in Lithuanian (to explain better - 'valgyt' = 'to eat', 'ėst' = 'to eat' but meant to describe animals eating).
stiklius omg this is hilarious!!!!
This is actually so cool! I'm Latvian but only lived there until I was 5, so never had any history lessons or anything and my parents never spoke about it either. Thank you for informing about my home country ❤️
Yeah I've was like 4 years and left the latvian, and moved to Germany somehow reasons.
Latvia is so cool! Love from Portugal 🇵🇹💖🇱🇻
Thanks! ❤️

Congrats to Latvia for bronze from ice hockey championship. Your team was so symphatetic. I am still considering a visit. Greetings from Slovakia
Being Latvian I was skeptical at first - with all Soviet history thing going on and many people capitalise on it being Only thing that Latvia is known for. But you did a great job of being respectful and not over-dramatic about our history. I’m super happy that this video exists.
Latvia is one of my favorite country in Europe, very beautiful and a great culture
Love from France 🇱🇻❤️🇫🇷
Alex FR aww thanks and greetings from Latvia
Alex FR thank bro!I'm latvian :D
I just went to France and its a bautiful country! Love from Latvia!
Aww, thank you France! ^_^
As a Canadian with Latvian blood, thank you. My Great-Grandparents grabbed my Grandfather and Great Uncle and fled the country shortly after the German invasions and wound up here in Canada. I've always been interested in getting to know more about our heritage, yet my Grandfather (Visvaldis) was a strong...stoic, bear of a man who refused to talk about life prior to moving here. My last name, which shares a name with a Parish in Latvia, is currently donned by 14 people on Earth...the family that fled the country to ensure future generations...it's name will probably die with me. It's impossible for me to find any history on my family name as the Russian were famous for just burning down anything with historical record in their wake. I am proud to be of Latvian descent and have devoured any information I can find on where we all originally came from, so I appreciate this video.
You can try and ask for advice in latvian forums. There are Goverment archive in Latvia- very many documents can found there! www.lvarhivs.gov.lv/ Ask them for advice and information!
Anaphriel the literal translation of your grand fathers name is Ruler of all, no wonder he was a bear of a man
What is your last name? Maybe I can help you with something I can dig up in here, in Latvia.
Good luck! I hope you find something about your family.
Similar story to my Grandad who is now 95 years old. He ended up in England instead.
Let's all just appriciate how he pronounced the "j" correctly
Well, this is entertaining even for latvian. Love from Latvia.
Its soooo funny to hear how he says Liepāja.😂👍
Lmao yea, as a latvian, almost all of the latvian-named things were pronounced wrong :/

I can definitely recommend going to Liepaja and visit the Karosta Military Prison! You can also visit it without the prisoner treatment ;D
And exactly 100 years after a Latvian lost his 5 Santini coin (1922) near the cinematic Artillery battery No 1 Bunker at the Baltic sea near Liepaja, I fund it in the sand. Aside from that I also recommend visiting the Kemeri National Park Swamp and the new Occupation Museum in Riga!
Well done this is amazing

I love Latvia. I have been there a few times and enjoyed the amazing food, really friendly locals and a lot of stunning places. My favourite place was Ventspilis with all of there cows (if you know, what I am talking about you know, if not I recommend visiting). Greetings to our brothers and sister from Lithuania! 🇱🇻❤🇱🇹
I'M HALF LATVIAN AND HALF GREEK. But my mum never taught me the language. She had one job...
Probably because as a latvian it is still not an easy task to teach it correctly.

Latvia! Sending love from Lithuania!
Barby, I am amazed by the research you do in each episode! Can not wait for Lithuania episode!
Also, only now I am starting to realize that paganism is very authentic and unique to Baltic states like nowhere in Europe. We still have many pagan festivals and rituals and they are very popular here!
Meilė irgi iš Latvijos! ❤
I wouldn't call it paganism. It is paganism from Chrisianity point of view. I'd call it folk traditions.
Wow. Great review.
Yes Latvia in fact is great and so your video is!
You call Latvia flat? Barbs, I'm from the Netherlands. Nothing gets lower than this.

School in Lithuanian is mokykla
This Lithuanian word makes the association with "mocīkla" in Latvian that would mean "a place to torture". It makes some sense. :D

Really? Well, that's an accurate coincidence, isn't it?

"Skola" means "debt" in Lithuanian.

It's always fascinating to see Pagan traditions prevailing in Christianized lands. As a Thai, I know very little about Baltic region. I only encountered Baltic folks a few times in my life. Seems like a very chilled country you guys have there.
Latvia is so beautiful! Love from Romania
Paul Razvan-Mihalcea So is Romania
Barbs, despite Riga being located on the river, the Daugava is mostly a commercially navigable river and the port of Riga is the biggest in terms of tonnage in Latvia. It used to be one of the biggest cities bar none in the Baltic Sea and was part of the Hanseatic League. Riga is located only a few km upstream and that is no problem in terms of facilitating trade. That is not to say that the ports of Ventspils and Liepaja aren't massive, but the way you said it was like Riga doesn't have a port which is just false.
Yh London has the same situation as well but it’s not as big anymore
You're right. My bad.
Wow im from Latvija and i can saj its spot on 😮👍👍👏👏
I am a latvian and i loved this video. Good job. :)
4:38 Oh, longest river in Latvia is Gauja (452 km). Daugava is the second longest and only longer if you add those kilometers in Belarus and Russia.
But I loved the video. Thumbs up!
Zane Vanaga I
Nope the Daugava is 1005 km long
eduards.. Daugava is 1020 km long (google it!;)), HOWEVER it runs in latvia only 352 km
