A1 Idiom カジュアル

Bāzt degunu

Stick one's nose in

意味

Interfering in other people's business

🌍

文化的背景

Latvians value 'privātums' (privacy) very highly. Asking about salary, age, or personal relationships is often considered 'bāzt degunu' unless you are very close friends. In the US, 'small talk' is common, but Latvians might perceive it as being nosy or 'bāzt degunu'. The Russian equivalent 'совать нос' (sovat' nos) is identical and very common in Latvia due to historical linguistic overlap. Similar to Latvians, Germans value order and privacy, making the 'Nase stecken' idiom equally potent in social boundary-setting.

⚠️

Tone Matters

This phrase can be very rude. Use it only when you are genuinely annoyed or with people you know very well.

🎯

Use with 'Svešās lietās'

Adding 'svešās lietās' (in other people's things) makes the idiom sound more complete and natural.

No, it is not a swear word, but it is an informal and confrontational idiom. It's like saying 'Don't be nosy' in English.

Probably not. It is too informal and could be seen as disrespectful. Use 'neiejaukties' instead.

'Bāzt' is the general action, while 'iebāzt' implies sticking it *into* something specific. For the idiom, 'bāzt' is more common.
