pareizs

== Latvian == === Etymology === Derived from the borrowed term reize (“time”), originally in the combination pa reizi (“(arranged) in order”) (reizi being here an older dative, corresponding to modern reizei) and then later as a single adverb pareizi, from which an adjective form pareizīgs was formed in the 1860s-1870s, reduced by the turn of the century to pareizs. The original meaning “in order” changed to “(well) organized,” from which it became “right, correct,” replacing the earlier Germanic borrowing riktīgs. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [paɾɛ̄īs] === Adjective === pareizs (definite pareizais, comparative pareizāks, superlative vispareizākais, adverb pareizi) precise, exact, correct, accurate (done without errors or mistakes) pareizs dokumenta noraksts ― accurate copy of a document pareiza tilta konstrukcija ― accurate bridge construction (design) pareizs izskaitļojums ― precise calculation pareizs laiks ― accurate, precise time pareiza nauda ― excact money, change taisni uz to jau viņi rēķināja, un rēķins izrādījās pareizs ― they were expecting precisely that, and their expectation turned out to be correct correct, right, adequate (in agreement with reality, with science, with practical knowledge; in agreement with one's wishes or goals) pareiza informācija ― correct information pareiza izpratne ― correct understanding pareizs spriedums ― correct judgment vajadzētu kaut kā ik dienas piegādāt mums pareizas ziņas par stāvokli frontē, citādi nezinām, ko teikt ― it would be necessary to supply us somehow with correct news about the situation in the front, or else we won't know what to say audzējot zemenes, svarīgi izvēlēties pareizas šķirnes ― when cultivating strawberries, it is important to select the right varieties correct, right, proper, appropriate (in agreement with existing rules, norms, requirements) pareiza tehnoloģija ― appropriate technology pareizas proporcijas ― correct proportions pareiza stāja ― proper posture pareiza vārda izruna ― correct word pronunciation viņš uzskata - aktierim arī ārpus teātra jārunā pareizi ― he believes (that) an actor must speak properly, correctly also outside of the theater used adverbially to confirm or reinforce what was said: right! exactly! precisely! a, pareizi! ― ah, right! pareizāk sakot ― speaking more accurately, to put it more acurately, rather vai tad Rīgā darba trūkst? pareizi? ― so there is lack/shortage of work in Riga?
