意思
Used to apologize or get attention.
文化背景
Latvians value personal space. Using 'Atvainojiet' is a way to signal that you are aware of their space. Similar politeness norms exist in Estonia and Lithuania, where formal address is standard for strangers. In Latvian offices, 'Atvainojiet' is used even between colleagues who are not close friends. It is common to hear 'Atvainojiet' on buses when someone needs to reach the door.
The 'J' Sound
The 'j' in Latvian sounds like the 'y' in 'yes'. Practice saying 'oy-yet' clearly.
Smile!
Even though Latvians are reserved, a small smile when saying 'Atvainojiet' makes you seem much more approachable.
