jaunumi

Jaunumi is a Latvian noun meaning "news" or "new information," referring to recently received events or developments. In everyday speech it denotes current information, and in media contexts it is commonly used as a label for a news segment, bulletin, or section of a publication or website. The term can also refer to newly available information in general conversation.

Etymology and form: It derives from jauns, meaning "new." The related noun jaunums describes a novelty; jaunumi is the plural form and is used for multiple items of news or newly obtained information.

Usage and nuance: In media, Jaunumi is often used as a program or section title and is frequently capitalized when referring to a specific broadcast (for example, Jaunumi on television). In ordinary language, it can denote newly obtained information, as in "new information about the project." In journalistic writing, ziņas is more commonly used for the general concept of news, while jaunumi emphasizes occasional updates or a collection of new items.
