Viegls

Viegls is a Latvian adjective meaning light in weight or not heavy, and it can also be used in a figurative sense to describe something as easy, simple, or not burdensome. In physical descriptions, viegls refers to objects with relatively small mass. In non-literal usage, it can describe tasks, processes, or situations that are perceived as requiring little effort.

In Latvian, viegls forms part of the standard class of adjectives and agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. This means its form changes according to whether the noun is masculine, feminine, singular, or plural. The word also has an adverbial form, viegli, which means easily or gently. The adjective can be used predicatively with a linking verb and attributively before a noun, just like other Latvian adjectives.

Etymologically, viegls is a native Latvian term and part of the Baltic language family’s common vocabulary for describing weight, effort, and ease. It appears across everyday speech, writing, and education, and is taught as part of basic Latvian grammar due to its frequent usage.
