Noun
[edit]mazturība f (4th declension)
- poverty, indigence (the state of one who has little or no possessions, little or no money)
- 20. gadsimtā zemnieki turpināja izmantot tikai agrāk celtās rijas ar dzīvojamiem kambariem; šādi mājokļi tika ieskatīti par īpašnieku mazturības vai atpalicības pierādījumu ― in the 20th century, farmers continued to use only previously built threshing barns with rooms for living; such buildings became seen as evidence of the owners' poverty or backwardness
