I challenged myself to name the words starting with a certain number and then take a picture and share on the blog. You can read about it here. I use Online random letter generator and the first random letter was K.
Words starting with letter K (in Latvian)
Kaķis – Cat
Koki – Trees
Krupis – Natterjack toad
Kāzas -Wedding
Kartupeļi – Potatoes
Was it easy to read those Latvian words!? Which one is your favorite (word/picture)!?

I guess it must be ‘kakis’, though I may be influenced by the picture! (and I love cats). Again I’m struck by the similarity of one word to that in Romanian: kartupeli – cartofi. In English I love the peculiarities of many words beginiing with ‘k’ but which have no ‘k’ sound in the pronunciation, eg: know, knowledge, knitting, knight, knife, knee and even knickerbockers.
Interesting! Romanian cartofi is very similar to russian картофель. Press listen https://translate.google.com/#lv/ru/kartupe%C4%BCi

🙂 I hope to continue adding posts with latvian words. Just to have fun 🙂
Hi!
Such cute girls and cat 🙂 Are the photo of the trees from a special place? Looks like a park, or something 🙂 So much fun to read the Latvian words, thanks for sharing 🙂
It’s in the Seehof Castle in Germany. https://latvianmom.com/2017/06/03/getting-better-and-better/
It’s great to speak both, English and Latvian, and many other languages, too. I like your idea about randomly choosing letters. The resulting text and images were interesting and funny!
Thank you, Inese! I’m doing it for fun and to challenge myself to find or capture the pictures too 🙂
