LA.lv creates quiz testing basic knowledge about Latvia
The Latvian news portal LA.lv has published a ten-question quiz testing basic facts about Latvia, including a question on the country's official language. The outlet suggests this is knowledge anyone identifying as Latvian by nationality should have.
The news portal LA.lv has released a quiz for readers to test their knowledge of fundamental facts about Latvia. The quiz consists of ten questions, which the publication says should be answerable by anyone whose passport lists their nationality as Latvian.
One of the sample questions included concerns Latvia's official state language, offering multiple-choice answers: only Latvian, Latvian and Russian, or Latvian and Lithuanian.
According to the article's headline, around 90% correct answers are typically scored by people who consider Latvia their homeland not merely on paper — through citizenship or a passport entry — but genuinely, in their hearts. Through this framing, the outlet draws a link between factual knowledge of the country and a felt sense of belonging to it.
The piece is presented as light, entertainment-oriented content with an educational angle, aimed at a broad audience and inviting readers to assess how well they actually know the country they live in or identify with.
