Contexte culturel
Latvians are generally reserved. A simple 'Ar labu nakti' is often enough; you don't need to over-explain your departure. Similar to other Nordic/Baltic cultures, the focus is on brevity and sincerity. In international business, using the local 'Good night' equivalent is a sign of cultural intelligence. In Latvian families, this is a mandatory ritual before children go to sleep.
