意思
Going or speaking without intermediaries.
文化背景
Latvians value 'tiešums' (directness) as a sign of honesty. Being too 'polite' or 'vague' can sometimes be seen as suspicious or a waste of time. In the eastern region of Latgale, people are known for being even more warm but also very blunt. 'Pa tiešo' is the default mode of communication. In Latvian startups, 'pa tiešo' is used to describe flat hierarchies where you can message the CEO directly.
The 'No-Middleman' Rule
Use 'pa tiešo' whenever you want to emphasize that you are cutting out a middleman, whether it's a travel stop, a translator, or a reseller.
Don't decline it!
Remember that 'pa tiešo' is a fixed phrase. Don't try to change 'tiešo' to 'tieša' or 'tieši'—it stays the same regardless of gender or number.
