意思
Standard description of grass color.
文化背景
Latvians have a 'cult of the lawn'. A messy yard is seen as a sign of laziness. 'Zaļa zāle' must be neatly mown. Green is the color of the goddess Māra, who is the protector of the earth. Grass is her hair. Riga is known as one of the greenest capitals in Europe, with 'zaļa zāle' even in the city center. In folk songs, 'zaļa zāle' is where young people meet and dance during the summer solstice.
The 'A' Rule
Remember that almost all colors ending in 's' (zaļš, sarkans, zils) change to 'a' when describing feminine nouns like 'zāle'.
Plural Trap
Don't say 'zaļas zāles' unless you are talking about green-colored pills or medicine!
