"ļoti" meaning in Latvian

See ļoti in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adverb

IPA: [ʎùoti]
Etymology: Traditionally considered a borrowing from Slavic, this word has more recently been claimed to come from an older adjective *ļots (“evil, terrible”) (cf. placenames like Ļotumi), related to Russian лю́тый (ljútyj, “heartless, cruel; angry, furious”), and perhaps from the same source as ļauns (“evil”). The semantic change would be from “terrible, evil” to “very,” a quite frequent change (cf. the use of words like terribly as adverbial intensifiers in e.g. terribly good; the same happens also with briesmīgi (“terribly, horribly”), šausmīgi (“terribly, horribly”) in colloquial Latvian). Etymology templates: {{bor|lv|sla}} Slavic, {{cog|ru|лю́тый|t=heartless, cruel; angry, furious}} Russian лю́тый (ljútyj, “heartless, cruel; angry, furious”) Head templates: {{head|lv|adverb|head=}} ļoti, {{lv-adv}} ļoti
