laimēties

== Latvian == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [laimɛːties] === Verb === laimēties To be lucky. ==== Usage notes ==== One of a group of verbs (including vajadzēt) that requires a subject in the dative case, precedes an infinitive form and is usually conjugated in the third person. With the root of laime- (from Laima, the Baltic goddess of fate and destiny) one may argue that when used with the verb "to be" the definition becomes "fated to be". ==== Conjugation ==== ==== References ==== Andra Kalnača and Ilze Lokmane, University of Latvia "A Study of the Verb Vajadzēt", Page 97
