nedēļa

== Latvian == === Alternative forms === (dialectal forms) nedeļa, nedele === Etymology === Borrowed from Old East Slavic недѣлꙗ (nedělja, “Sunday, holiday, week”) (cf. Russian неде́ля (nedélja)); the same Old East Slavic word was borrowed by other local languages (cf. Estonian nädal, Lithuanian nedėlia, Livonian nädīļ, Latgalian nedeļa). The original Slavic meaning was “Sunday”, literally “non-working [day] (cf. Russian де́лать (délatʹ, “to do”)). Given its form, the word was probably borrowed before the 13th century, even though its first occurrences, already in its modern form, are in 17th-century dictionaries. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [nɛdɛ̄ːʎa] === Noun === nedēļa f (4th declension) week (seven-day period from Monday to Sunday) katru nedēļu ― every week divas reizes nedēļā ― twice a week pagājušajā nedēļā ― last week smaga darba nedēļa ― a heavy work week nedēļas avīze ― weekly newspaper nedēļas tirgus ― weekly market Kalvics jau nedēļas sākumā papļāva drusku siena ― at the beginning of the week, Kalvics was already mowing some hay week (any seven-day period, regardless of its beginning or end) jau nedēļu neesmu tur bijis ― I haven't been there for a week nedēļu ilgs atvaļinājums ― a one-week vacation viņa paauklēja uz rokām bērniņu, kurš bija ļoti sīciņš, varbūt vēl tik dažas nedēļas vecs ― she was nursing a baby that was really very small, maybe only a couple of weeks old (dated sense, only plural) post-partum, post-natal period Annai uznāca nedēļas ― Anna is in (her) post-partum period ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== šonedēļ, tonedēļ nākamnedēļ, nākošnedēļ ==== See also ==== days of the week: nedēļas dienas (appendix): pirmdiena · otrdiena · trešdiena · ceturtdiena · piektdiena · sestdiena · svētdiena [edit] === References ===
