Latviešu #2
01. Šodien ir pirmdiena, vakar bija svētdiena.02. Rīt nav piektdiena, bet (gan) otrdiena.
03. Es gaidu.
04. Mans draugs devās/aizgāja nopirkt kaut ko dzert padzerties.
05. Es gaidu savu draugu.
06. Es gaidu savu draugu draudzeni, (jo) viņa devās/aizgāja nopirkt kaut ko dzert padzerties.
07. Mēs vēlētos iemācīties valodas kopā.
08. Vai jūs varat mācīties kopā ar saviem draugiem?
09. Mans draugs ir gudrs, es (gan) neesmu tik gudrs.
10. Tieši tāpēc tādēļ man ir nepieciešams mans gudrsais draugs.
01.
02. Sounds more natural.
03. More correct way.
04. Most likely, the word 'devās' (NOM 'doties') Latvians would use for the situations when the trip is suppose to be a longer one, or a more harder/dangerous one, e.g., 'es devos pārgājienā' - I went for a hike; 'viņš devās taisni iekšā briesmās' - he went straight into the danger. Therefore, in this case the best choice is 'aizgāja' (NOM 'aiziet').
05.
06. For a female friend we use 'draudzene', for male - 'draugs'.
07. If you mean here 'are you able to/can you study together with your friends?', then it is correct, but if you mean: 'are you studying together with your friends?', then more proper way would be: 'Vai jūs mācāties kopā ar saviem draugiem?'
08.
09. Sounds more natural with added 'gan'. Now that I think of this word, its rather difficult for me to come with some decent translation to it. In this particular case, it would mean something like 'my friend is smart, while I am not that smart', where in English you could easily skip the 'while' here and it would still sound good enough, in Latvian it would sound somewhat unnatural not to add the 'gan' here.
10. To create a better coherence between the #09 and #10 sentences, I can add that more natural would sound this example: 'Tieši tādēļ man ir nepieciešama mana gudrā drauga palīdzība': 'Exactly that is why I need the help from my smart friend'.
