A-Ž of Latvia - F

F is for /f/ and Fui! (a general exclamation of disgust)


The Latvian language never traditionally included the phoneme /f/ but it was later introduced as words were borrowed from foreign languages. So now locals can easily converse about 'filozofija' (philosophy), fakultātes (faculties), and 'fistings' (I'm sure you can guess that one).






'Fui!' is a Latvian's way of saying your fart stinks real bad.
