Half of my neighbors in Finland are Estonians. They are basically like Finns, only louder and more vodka-loving but also friendlier and less introverted. Anyway, this brotherly (or sisterly?) Finland-Estonia relationship seems more like a fictional story than reality.

[@eksiarvamus]

Yeah, good friends with both Latvia and Lithuania, shared history with Latvia, but culturally not Baltic.

[@eksiarvamus]

***** Think of the mythology, which has influenced music, arts, literature etc. Plus the language. Plus the both ancient and modern seafaring culture. Plus a distinct sauna culture. Plus islands culture. Plus the former Swedish minority and certain places still have Swedish names. And self identity as well. And there are more, these are just a few.

[@eksiarvamus]

***** I know that saunas are prevalent in Latvia as well, but Estonia actually has a little distinct different sauna culture. Kalevala is the Finnish national epic, Kalevipoeg is the Estonian one. Lacplesis is connected a little, but it's mainly fiction that was written after Kalevipoeg was published. Song and dance festivals derive from the Baltic Germans and became such a big thing mostly due to the Soviet occupation. Plus singing culture is far more prevalent in Estonia and the singing part of the Singing Revolution started and was a lot bigger in Estonia (not that Latvian Song Festivals don't continue to amaze me). If we compare us with very different cultures then of course we find similarities, but Estonia still has more similarities with the Nordic countries and especially Finland.

[@eksiarvamus]

***** Yeah indeed, they are similar. Kalevipoeg is mostly fiction as well because the Kalevipoeg myths and folklore were an incomplete story, so a lot has been taken from Kalevala and a lot made up.

the real reason why im trying to get good grades in school is because i want to be in exchange student and spend the whole junior year in tallinn estonia. its a 18 hour flight from flordia

[@enritf8290]

You can study there in english.There are tens of programs in english and with tuition fees varying from 3000$-10000$ and living cost 500$-1000$ / month it would be financially better than Florida and unis are pretty good too , one in Tallin is ranked #~600 and another in Tartu #~312 in the world.

We kinda are obligated to like Finland. They basically gave us money to get our country going when Soviet union fell. That gave us a big economical boost, compared to other ex soviet countries. And they buy loads of alcohol from us so we can get some gas money and go buy ours from Latvia 😂

[@ollynolly4592]

I live in Sweden but I was in Estonia almost 2 years ago with my brother and a group of other teenagers. We went to a pretty poor neighbourhood where there were no shops but a second hand shop. We went to visit an orphanage and gave some gifts to the children there but then we went into the second hand shop and took a look around. There was a pretty old woman behind the counter and she wouldn't stop staring at me and my brother. When we finally talked to her she told us that she had never met people with darker skin before. We thought this was and pretty cool and funny. She asked to touch our skin and hair and it was all really cool. She looked so happy. Estonia is one of the chillest places I have been so far in Europe.

I found the "Finland looking on while Estonia was occupied" part a little misleading as Finland was also occupied during all the occupations except the Nazi and the Soviet ones. * Slowly backs out before anyone has the time to figure out it was us Swedes who where guilty of most of it * Great video nonetheless! Keep up the good work!

Finland wasn't occupied by the Livonians either, the only countries Finland belonged to were Sweden and the Russian Empire (as an autonomous duchy with little Russian presence).

[@hankdasilva3817]

Edvin Kärf Estonia was conquered by the Livonian Order in the 1200s, Finland wasn't.

[@edvinkarf]

Rauta Arska Oh, I thought you were saying I forgot something! Now I understand

[@edvinkarf]

Rauta Arska Or did you misunderstand my comment? Im confused xD. What I meant is that Sweden occupied Finland during all these occupations up until 1809, when the Russian Empire did so until 1917

[@claymore2000]

The sad truth is that even though everyone thinks Finlands always been there for Estonia, that's incorrect. After their independence and lands and economic state in ruins, Finland never helped out(majorly). We just sat nearby and watched Estonia choke on a banana peel. I'm sorry
