vakarēšana


Definition from Tēzaurs:
Ļaužu pulcēšanās vienkopus rudens un ziemas vakaros; Latvijā vakarētāji (viena vai vairākas saimes) pulcējās dzīvojamajā rijā vai saimes istabā, kur sievietes strādāja rokdarbus, vīrieši gatavoja un laboja darbarīkus, iedzīves priekšmetus; līdztekus darbam stāstīja pasakas, teikas, minēja mīklas, dažkārt kāds lasīja priekšā.

Example sentence(s):
  • Suprātkas jeb vakarēšana ir sena latviešu tautas sadzīves tradīcija. Tā ļāvusi gan kopā svarīgākos darbus paveikt, gan nodot amatu prasmes no paaudzes paaudzē. - Latvijas sabiedriskie mediji  
  • Daļēji tāda vakarēšana bijusi tā īstākā skola, kur mazie bērni un citi saimes ļaudis smēlušies gudrībā un amatu prasmēs. - Stars  
  • Sveču dienai veltīta vakarēšana „Neturi sveci zem pūra” - Rēzeknes novads
