معنی
To relax or hang out informally.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Riga, 'čillot' is often associated with specific locations like the 'Andalūzijas Suns' courtyard or the banks of the Daugava river. It's a social currency. Despite a history of hard labor, modern Latvians highly value their 'miers' (peace). 'Čillot' is the modern expression of this ancient need for quietude. Latvia has some of the fastest internet in the world. 'Čillot' often happens online in gaming communities or while streaming. The ultimate 'čills' for a Latvian is being at a summer cottage, away from the city, often involving a sauna (pirts).
Use the prefix 'pa-'
If you want to sound like a native, use 'pačillot' when inviting someone. It sounds more natural and less 'permanent' than just 'čillot'.
Watch the Register
Never use this word with someone you address as 'Jūs' unless they use it first. It can come across as disrespectful.

سوالات متداول
5 سوالIt is a slang word. It's not in the official dictionary of the literary language, but it is in the dictionary of slang and is used by millions of speakers.
Only if your workplace is very informal (like a tech startup or a creative agency). In a bank or law firm, stick to 'atpūsties'.
You say 'Es čilloju'. Note that the present and past first-person singular are the same in this conjugation.
'Atpūsties' is the general word for resting. 'Čillot' specifically implies a modern, social, or low-energy 'vibe'.
Mostly, but people in their 30s and 40s use it frequently now. It's becoming a 'generational' word for anyone who grew up after the 90s.
