Old Norse gaum (“attention”), Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌿𐌼𐌾𐌰𐌽 (gaumjan, “to notice, to observe”)), first mentioned in 18th-century dictionaries with the meaning of “attention,” a meaning attested dialectally still in the 1870s. The present meaning probably arose via the idea of “attention (to details);” by the end of the 19th century, it had become the standard meaning for this word. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ɡāūme] === Noun === gaume f (5th declension) taste (aesthetic and cultural discernment, the sense of what is aesthetically or culturally better) laba gaume ― good taste ģērbties ar gaumi ― to dress with taste izkopt muzikālo gaumi ― to cultivate musical taste lēta, slikta gaume ― cheap, poor taste mākslinieka gaumi vispirms nosaka prasme atšķirt labu darbu no slikta ― an artist's taste is first of all expressed (as the) capacity to distinguish good work from bad taste (someone's individual preferences) tāds darbs ir viņa gaumē ― such work is in his taste nē, tādas izpriecas nav manā gaumē ― no, this kind of pastime, entertainment is not in my taste plašā piedāvājumā: telpaugi dažādām gaumēm! ― wide selection of house plants for every taste! cik vīriešu, tik gaumju ― (there are) as many preferences as (there are) men style, cuisine (following a certain recipe or culinary tradition) ēdiens poļu gaumē ― food in Polish taste (= style, i.e., following Polish recipes, tradition) pirmo reizi atkal pēc ilgāka laika bija iespējams kārtīgi paēst un pie tam izslavētas vācu gaumē pagatavotās siļķu kotletes ― for the first time again after a long time it was possible to eat well, in fact the celebrated herring meatballs, prepared in the German style (lit. taste) ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== garša, garšošana ==== Derived terms ==== gaumīgs, gaumīgums === References === == Middle English == === Noun === gaume (Lancashire) alternative form of game == Yola == === Noun === gaume alternative form of gaame 1867, “OBSERVATIONS BY THE EDITOR“, page 13: === References === Jacob Poole (d. 1827) (before 1828), William Barnes, editor, A Glossary, With some Pieces of Verse, of the old Dialect of the English Colony in the Baronies of Forth and Bargy, County of Wexford, Ireland, London: J.
