  • Rīgas Centrāltirgū bija rosīga diena.

    It was a bustling day at the Riga Central Market.

  • Jānis nolēma apmeklēt tirgu, lai iegādātu tradicionālos latviešu ēdiena sastāvdaļas.

    Jānis decided to visit the market to buy ingredients for traditional Latvian dishes.

  • Saule spoži spīdēja, gaisā virmoja svaigo dārzeņu smarža.

    The sun was shining brightly, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh vegetables.

  • Jānis bija sajūsmināts par savu plānu - viņš gribēja pagatavot latviešu sklandraušus.

    Jānis was excited about his plan - he wanted to make Latvian sklandrausis.

  • Viņš devās taisni pie dārzeņu stenda.

    He headed straight to the vegetable stand.

  • Tur bija smaidīga sieviete vārdā Līga.

    There was a smiling woman named Līga.

  • "Sveiki, Jāni!

    "Hello, Jānis!"

  • " viņa sveica.

    she greeted him.

  • "Sveiki, Līga!

    "Hello, Līga!

  • Vai jums ir burkāni un kartupeļi?

    Do you have carrots and potatoes?"

  • " Jānis jautāja.

    Jānis asked.

  • "Protams!

    "Of course!

  • Cik daudz tev vajag?

    How much do you need?"

  • " Līga atbildēja.

    Līga replied.

  • "Man vajag divus kilogramus kartupeļu un vienu kilogramu burkānu," Jānis teica.

    "I need two kilograms of potatoes and one kilogram of carrots," Jānis said.

  • Līga ātri sašķiroja dārzeņus un pasniedza Jānim.

    Līga quickly sorted the vegetables and handed them to Jānis.

  • Viņš samaksāja un devās tālāk.

    He paid and moved on.

  • Nākamā pietura bija pie dzērveņu stenda.

    His next stop was the cranberry stand.

  • Jānis gribēja arī nopirkt dzērvenes tortes garnējumam.

    Jānis also wanted to buy cranberries for decorating a cake.

  • Stendā stāvēja vecāka sieviete vārdā Māra.

    An older woman named Māra was standing at the stand.

  • "Labdien!

    "Good day!

  • Vai jums ir svaigas dzērvenes?

    Do you have fresh cranberries?"

  • " Jānis jautāja veselīgi.

    Jānis asked eagerly.

  • Māra pasmaidīja un izsaiņoja svaigi ievāktas dzērvenes.

    Māra smiled and unpacked freshly picked cranberries.

  • "Tev tiešām laimējās, Jāni!

    "You're in luck, Jānis!

  • Šorīt viņas ienāca.

    They came in this morning."

  • ""Brīnišķīgi!

    "Wonderful!

  • Lūdzu, vienu kilogramu," Jānis teica un pasniedza Mārai naudu.

    I'll take one kilogram, please," Jānis said and handed Māra the money.

  • Piepildījis savu grozu ar nepieciešamajām sastāvdaļām, Jānis virzījās vēl dziļāk tirgū.

    With his basket filled with the necessary ingredients, Jānis dove deeper into the market.

  • Viņš apmeklēja maizes stendu, kur tika pārdota svaigi cepta rudzu maize.

    He visited the bread stand, where freshly baked rye bread was being sold.

  • Pie maizes stenda stāvēja cepējs vārdā Kārlis.

    At the bread stand, there was a baker named Kārlis.

  • "Sveiks, Jāni!

    "Hello, Jānis!

  • Kādu maizi šodien vēlies?

    What kind of bread do you want today?"

  • " viņš jautāja.

    he asked.

  • "Man vajag divus klaipus rudzu maizes.

    "I need two loaves of rye bread.

  • Plānoju gatavot sklandraušu," Jānis atbildēja.

    I’m planning to make sklandrausis," Jānis replied.

  • "Tev patiešām gaume, Jāni," Kārlis pasmaidīja un pasniedza maizes.

    "You have good taste, Jānis," Kārlis smiled and handed him the bread.

    When Jānis finished his shopping, he felt satisfied.

  • Viņš atgriezās mājās, nesot pilnu grozu ar dārzeņiem, dzērvenēm un maizi.

    He began making the sklandrausis with careful attention.

  • Jānis sajuta iekšēju siltumu, apzinoties, ka šovakar viņa ģimene baudīs gardu maltīti, kas sagatavota no tradicionālām sastāvdaļām.

    Jānis felt a warm feeling inside, knowing that this evening his family would enjoy a delicious meal prepared from traditional ingredients.

  • Vakarā, kad gatavie sklandrauši tika novietoti uz galda, ģimene apsēdās viņus baudīt.

    In the evening, when the ready sklandrausis were placed on the table, the family sat down to enjoy them.

  • Pirmais kumoss bija brīnišķīgs.

    The first bite was wonderful.
