let's talk about the ending s

Specifically the tailing s is used in third person, example when I say hi to my friend Erik I call him Erik. When I refer to him in the third person I believe I should call him Eriks. I think this can easily feed into the useful commentary here about Latvian names being weird for western thought, but I didn't see it in the document. As I understand it, anyone speaking about my friend without him being present in the Latvian language would refer to him as Eriks, but I can still say "Hey Erik, how are you" when speaking to him directly. I think this is an important thing for someone much more linguistically intelligent than I to elucidate. Merrisr (talk) 04:49, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
