Go away!

Telling someone to leave

🌍

문화적 배경

Latvians value 'personīgā telpa' (personal space) highly. Saying 'Ej prom' is a serious boundary marker. Many ancient spells involve telling spirits or diseases to 'iet prom' to the marshes or forests. On Latvian social media, 'Ej prom' is a common comment on 'cringe' content. In rural areas, 'Ej prom' might be said more bluntly, whereas in Riga, people might use more passive-aggressive phrasing.

The 'Nu' factor

Adding 'nu' (Ej nu prom) almost always makes it about disbelief rather than a command.
