意思
A family with many members.
文化背景
The 'Goda ģimene' (Honor Family) card is a state-issued ID for parents of 3+ children, offering discounts on trains, museums, and shops. Historically, Latvians lived in 'viensētas' (isolated farms). A large family was essential for survival and farm work. Folklore often uses the metaphor of a 'kupls ozols' (bushy oak) or 'kupla liepa' (bushy linden) to represent a large, strong family. Family reunions (dzimtas saiets) are a major summer tradition where the 'liela ģimene' meets to celebrate their roots.
Agreement is Key
Always remember that 'ģimene' is feminine. If you use 'mans' (my), it must be 'mana'.
Don't say 'Daudz ģimene'
Even though you mean 'many people', the phrase is 'big family'. Use 'liela'.
