horvāts

== Latvian == === Etymology === Borrowed from Serbo-Croatian Хрват (hrvat), from *hurva (“mountain”); cf. Russian хребет (xrebet, “mountain range”). The original meaning was thus “highlander, mountaineer.” A different opinion is that this may be a non-Slavic, possible Germanic or Iranian, word. === Pronunciation === === Noun === horvāts m (1st declension, female equivalent horvātiete) a (male) Croatian, a man from Croatia or of Croatian descent horvāti ir nācija, kas pieder pie dienvidslāvu tautu grupas ― the Croatians are a nation that belongs to the South Slavic group par “Valmieras” galveno treneri klūst horvāts Zorans Kalpičs ― the Croat Zoran Kalpić has become the main coach of the “Valmieras” team (genitive plural) Croatian, pertaining to Croatia and its people horvātu valoda ― the Croatian language horvātu tautas mūzika ― Croatian folk music horvātu mīklas ― Croatian riddles ==== Declension ==== ==== Related terms ==== Horvātija horvātisks horvātu valoda === References ===
