뜻
Asking for contact information.
문화적 배경
Latvians are often private. It's common to ask for a number only after a meaningful conversation. In business, exchanging numbers is often done via business cards (vizītkartes). Younger Latvians might ask for Instagram or Facebook instead of a phone number. It is polite to text before calling a new contact in Latvia.
The 'Kāds' Rule
Remember: Names, numbers, and addresses always use 'Kāds', never 'Kas'.
Formal vs Informal
Using 'tavs' with a stranger over 40 is a major faux pas in Latvia.

Say 'Mans numurs ir...' followed by the digits.
No, you can just say 'Kāds ir tavs numurs?' if the context is clear.
It is +371. Most mobile numbers start with 2.

Use 'Kāds ir Jūsu darba telefona numurs?'
Yes, but it's more common to ask 'Vai tev ir WhatsApp?'
Say: 'Vai Jūs būtu tik laipns un iedotu savu numuru?'
