atrast

== Latvian == === Etymology === From at- +‎ rast (“to find”). From an earlier meaning “to straighten up, to stand up (with something found)” (cf. the earlier meaning “to bend, to sway” of rast), it developed the current meaning “to find.” The intransitive meaning “to wean”, “to lose a habit” is apparently derived from the other (older) meaning of rast, “to grow.” === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [atɾast] === Verb === atrast (transitive, 1st conjugation, present atrodu, atrodi, atrod, past atradu) to find (to get, by searching, something that had been lost, or something necessary, desired) atrast pazaudēto atslēgu ― to find the lost key atrast pazudušo teātra biļeti ― to find the lost theater tickets atrast noklīdušos jērus ― to find the lost lambs atrast nomaldījušos slēpotājus ― to find the skiers that had got lost atrast piemērot dzīvokli ― to find a suitable apartment atrast vajadzīgo ielu ― to find the desired street atrast patīkamu darbu ― to find a nice job atrast darbam piemērotu cilvēku ― to find the right person for the job to find, to discover (something hidden or not directly accessible; something forgotten, left somewhere) atrast diamantus taigā ― to find diamants in the taiga atrast kļūdas skolnieka darbā ― to find errors in a student's work atrast uz ielas naudas maku ― to find a wallet on the street atrast autobusā aizmirstu lietussargu ― to find a forgotten umbrella in the bus Riņņu kalnā atrasta visvecākā cilvēku apmetne Latvijā ― on the Riņņu mountain (was) found the oldest human settlements in Latvia to find, to discover, to invent; to determine, to deduce, to calculate atrast jaunu ķīmisku savienojumu ― to find a new chemical compound atrast jaunas darbas metodes ― to find new work methods atrast vairāku skaitļu summu ― to find the sum of several numbers atrast kopējo saucēju daļskaitļiem ― to find the common denominator of fractions atrast izeju sarežģītā situacijā ― to find one's way out in a difficult situation atrast motivāciju savam lēmumam ― to find a motivation for one's decision atrast attaisnojumu biedra rīcībai ― to find an excuse for a colleague's actions to find (to choose mentally, e.g. words, means, etc.) atrast īstos vārdus, īsto atbildi ― to find the right words, the right answer atrast pareizo pieeju katram bērnam ― to find the right approach for every child (of time) to find (to dedicate, to use for some purpose) atrast brīvu brīdi ― to find a free moment (for something) viens vai otrs no Augusta draugiem arvien atrada laiku viņu visur pavadīt ― one or other of Augsts' friends always found time to accompany him everywhere to find, to meet, to see (to see that someone or something is somewhere, doing something, in a certain state) atrast paziņu mājās ― to find a friend at home atrast bērnu guļam ― to find the child sleeping kādu vakaru Gijo atrada dzīvokli tukšu ― one night Gijo found the apartment empty (of qualities) to find, to see, to perceive atrast daudz vērtīga sava drauga raksturā ― to find a lot of valuable (features) in a friend's character daudz asas ironijas atrodam E.
