Tervitused Eestist! (Greetings from Estonia!) My comment in estonian first, translation in english after that. Lihtne ja selge. Tubli töö, Moonika! Minu kogemus on näidanud, et inimestel, kelle emakeel on inglise keel, on raskusi R-tähe hääldamisega ja nad ei suuda seda tähte keelel veeretada. Samuti on neil raskusi kui sõna lõpeb E-tähega, nad jätavad päris tihti sõna lõpus oleva E-tähe välja hääldamata. Clear and simple. Good job, Moonika! My experience has shown me that people who's mother tongue is english, have difficulties with the R-letter and they can't roll the R-letter on their tongue. Also they are struggling if the estonian word is ending with the E-letter, pretty often they don't pronounce the E-letter out.

Aitäh for the useful video! I'm actually from Finland and I've considered learning Estonian to some extent since it shouldn't be too difficult because of the language family connection. This was a good start, I only knew aitäh and there beforehand. By the way, you may know this but I find "aitäh" quite funny since if you said that in Finnish, it would sound like saying "huh, what did you say?" in a casual way :D

Great and helpful video. I find it interesting that there are so many Estonian words that sound like Finnish words but have different meanings (false friends). I have seen the word tänan before and thought it was the same as the Finnish word tänään (which means today) but I was wrong. Another funny example is "hallitus" which means government in Finnish but mold in Estonian.

She's a very likable teacher. I've studied some Finnish and learned maybe about 400 words in that language, and what surprises me about Estonian is how similar it does sound to Finnish, from a phonological perspective, and of course the etymologies are also very similar...maybe it's like the difference between Spanish and Portuguese? It would be interesting to get the perspective of someone who has studied both Finnish and Estonian. Also, I've been curious about visiting Tallinn this summer, and wondering how useful Russian is for getting around? Or is the primary second language English?

@tomie6666world3 жыл бұрын
In Estonia we say 'hey' as hei. It's not like an original word in Estonia. It has came in from the English language. In Estonia 'husband' is 'mees' which also translates to 'man'. We also have the word 'abikaasa', which is used for a husband AND a wife. This word is like kinda unisex, I guess? But it's usually used in a more formal context. You can also say 'kallis', which basically means 'sweety'. Hubby is like a cute nickname, so the meaning isn't really that different. So you can say it like: ''hei, kallis'' or ''hei, kallike''. You can also say: ''hei meheke'' Hope this helped. 😁

Because our company focuses on travel rather than strictly languages, we could make choosing the right language easier for you by helping you plan a sort of research trip.
