뜻
Everything is relaxed and fine
문화적 배경
Young Latvians are very tech-savvy and globally connected, leading to a high usage of English loanwords in daily speech. While 'viss čillā' is common, older Latvians may value a more serious, hardworking exterior and view 'chill' as laziness. Being 'vēss' (cool/cold) is a compliment in Latvia, implying you don't panic under pressure. 'Viss čillā' is the verbal expression of this. During the biggest Latvian holiday, Jāņi, the goal is to be 'čillā' in nature, drinking beer and eating cheese by a bonfire.
The 'ā' is key
If you forget the '-ā' at the end, you're just saying the noun 'chill'. Adding the '-ā' makes it a description of the situation.

Texting
In texts, Latvians often write 'viss cilla' (without the macron over the a) if they are in a hurry, but 'čillā' is the correct spelling.
