सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Drinking water from natural springs (avoti) is a national pastime. Many families have a 'favorite' spring they visit regularly. Tap water in Rīga is safe, but many older people still prefer to boil it first, a habit from previous decades. During Midsummer (Jāņi), water is considered to have healing properties, especially if drunk at dawn. In Latvian restaurants, tap water is not always provided for free, unlike in the US or France, though this is changing in Rīga.

The 'i' is Key

Always remember the 'i' at the end of 'ūdeni'. Without it, the sentence is grammatically incomplete.

The Alcohol Trap

Never say 'Es dzeru' alone if you want to sound healthy. It sounds like you're at a bar!
