Vairāk par vārdu un tā izrunu meklējiet livonian.tech/meklesanas-r..., ierakstot vārdu “plagā”.

To learn more about this word and hear its pronunciation go to livonian.tech/en/search-re... and search for “plagā”.

#līvõkēļ
At the top of the image is the Livonian word "plagā". Below it are its Latvian translation "karogs" and its English translation "flag". In the middle of the image is an example sentence using the word in Livonian: Līvõd plagā um ōļaz, vālda, siņņi. Below the Livonian sentence on the left is its Latvian translation: Lībiešu karogs ir zaļš, balts, zils. Below the Livonian sentence on the right is its English translation: The Livonian flag is green, white, blue. On the bottom right is the hashtag: #līvõkēļ
