Tavs stils


"Stils" corresponds quite well (though not 100%) to the English word "style".
In the fashion sense - yes, it does correspond.

"Tavs stils" makes a normal sounding magazine name.

If you have to not just translate, but to localise
the name, you should consider also "Mans stils" ("My style"),
because in Latvian media production titles, "My..." and "Our..." are
somehow more popular than "Your...".

Best of luck,
V.

it can be used when we talk about our lifestyle, our customs,our clothes, sometimes-our favourite food.It is connected with the questions,"What do you like to do? What do you like to wear?What is your favourite food?

It is my style to wear baggy jeans.(Manā stilā ir valkāt platas džinsas.)

It is my style to eat spicy food.(Manā stilā ir ēst asus ēdienus.)

It is my style to drive an expencive car.(Manā stilā ir braukt ar dārgu mašīnu.)

Sometimes it means "I like".Sometimes it has the same meaning as the English words"ton, twig,format,language,pencraft,penmanship, pizzazz,manner, strain, tone,vein, form, taste, style".
