意味
An aesthetically pleasing plant
文化的背景
Flowers are an essential part of the 'Vārda diena' (Name Day). It is often considered more important than a birthday to some. Bringing a 'skaists zieds' is the minimum requirement for a guest. During the Summer Solstice (Jāņi), flowers are used to tell fortunes. Girls throw flower crowns into oak trees; the number of tries it takes to stay in the tree is the number of years until marriage. Never give an even number of flowers. Even numbers are for funerals. If you give two flowers, it is a sign of bad luck or mourning. The 'Sakta' flower market in Riga is a cultural landmark. It's open all night, reflecting the Latvian belief that there's never a wrong time for a 'skaists zieds'.
Gender Agreement
Always check if you are using 'zieds' (masc.) or 'puķe' (fem.) to pick the right adjective ending.
The Number Rule
Remember: Odd numbers for the living, even numbers for the dead. Don't give 2 or 4 flowers!
