lett
lett is an older English noun linked to Latvia: it can point to a member of the Baltic people native to Latvia, or to their language. In everyday modern English, the word you’re much more likely to use is “Latvian,” but “lett” still matters when reading historical or more formal contexts. This lesson looks at how the same noun can refer to both a person and a language, why the plural “Letts” changes the feel, and how related forms like “Lettish” fit in. If you’ve ever wondered when an old ethnic or language term is informative rather than natural today, watch the full lesson.
