Latvian word list

[kman1]

I'm trying to make a common list of words for learning Latvian, can someone please translate the following words into Latvian? (Note: I would look this up myself, but I can't since I don't know of one single online comprehensive English-Latvian dictionary.) All the ones I have are Latvian-Latvian which doesn't help me out any right now at the beginner level.
