意味
Expressing gratitude for a present.
文化的背景
Latvians often open gifts immediately upon receiving them. It is considered polite to show your reaction and then say 'Paldies par dāvanu!'. Flowers are a mandatory accompaniment to any gift. Remember the 'odd number' rule for the living. Name Days are a major social event. If you know someone's Name Day, sending a small gift or just saying 'Paldies' is highly valued. The 'Ciema kukulis' tradition means you should never visit a home empty-handed. The host will thank you with this phrase.
Add an adjective
To sound more natural, add 'skaisto' (beautiful) or 'jauko' (nice) before 'dāvanu'.
Don't forget the 'u'
Saying 'Paldies par dāvana' sounds very 'broken' to a native speaker. Always use the 'u' ending.
