Bad mood

🌍

文化背景

Latvians often use the weather as a legitimate excuse for a 'slikts garastāvoklis'. It is socially acceptable to be less cheerful in winter. In Latvian offices, people are generally quiet. A 'slikts garastāvoklis' is often respected by giving the person space rather than trying to cheer them up immediately. On Latvian Twitter/X, people often post about their 'sliktais garastāvoklis' as a way to seek empathy or vent about political/social issues. Younger generations are more likely to use 'nav garīgā' to avoid social gatherings, which is a derivative of having a bad mood.
