It's "vaksal" in Estonian, as it did got that one through Russian (which itself got it from German or English). Because of that the "+saali" (hall) is lost and "vak-" is meaningless (from Foxhall it likly would have carried over as voks+hall). - waiting hall is "ootesaal".
You still got Jõhvi wrong 😂 It's a similar sound to Russian "Ы" but I get why it's complicated to pronouns, my international friends were having difficulties as well. Hopefully you had a chance to visit Toila Park and Valaste waterfall, beautiful places. In case you didn't, come back in summer, it's even better🔥
Anna Nova Jõhvi, you never need the Russians pronunciation ! Etonian ! You Refugee in the west now ? To lazy to learn the language ? English will never work, lol !

At 15.58 in the window of the shop is situating one record LP of Dean Cyril Reed (September 22, 1938 - June 13, 1986) was an American actor, singer-songwriter, director, and social activist who lived a great part of his adult life in South America and then in East Germany. Nicknamed the Red Elvis, Reed was the best-selling Western performer in communist countries, with his songs often topping the local charts, and millions of his records were sold in the Eastern Bloc and elsewhere mostly under the Melodiya label. He never renounced his U.S. citizenship, despite often denouncing the policy of the U.S. government, and was seen by the Western media as a threat and as a revolutionary artist.
Oh wow! That's an incredible story, thank you for sharing! I'm looking him up now for the first time. I am going to add him to my list to make videos about. What a cool cool story.
I visited Tallinn and had the opportunity to practice some Russian. Maybe when I'm a bit better I can venture East as well. How would you describe your method of learning the language? Do you use apps, teacher, books?
I spent my first year exclusively on Duolingo, fairly casually. I still use Duolingo but I also take an online class with a teacher from Tiraspol once a week. I also learn words from watching the Russian social media platform ‘VK’. I have more episodes coming from the eastern towns, so subscribe if you would like to see more!
since recent russo -ukraine war 2022 there was a law passed in Estonia to remove all of the soviet era symbols and monuments without any historical significance. this is in reference to some missing soviet insignias you have mentioned
Krembot lyies here … in Soviet times Estonia was falling appart - now Estonia is shining and beatifull and looks perfect as Switzerland - just another depressing and badmouth russian here - only hate and lies
Strange places to visit, not much to see in those settlements. Both of them used to be industrial towns with not much to do there if you don't work there.
After I finish uploading next two episodes of EASTonia (Ep. 3 out this week), you'll see videos of me going to Russia. Crossing Estonia/Russian border to Kingisepp, and then I just got back from Kaliningrad on another trip. I travelled on my EU passport, on the quick and easy 40 euro new Russian e-visa all EU citizens can get online. I had an incredible experience in Russia, everyone was friendly, including border guards. I'd say go to Russia if you want to go to Russia, its amazing. You will have no issues. I would say for those who truly can't go to Russia, Ida-Viru County in Eastern Estonia specifically is a decent place to practice the Russian language, and has some interesting history elements intertwined with Russian and Soviet history, but its also a very different place in a way. It feels different. Still worth visiting! I enjoyed my time there.
In all the baltics you can always assume that the olrder generations can speak some russian, while the younger can speak english. So when approaching the ticket-lady in Tallinn you try russian first 😉 And of course, almost half of the population in Tallinn considers Russian their first language, and a third considers themselves to be russian.
Yes, in Tallinn and in eastern Estonia, most people know Russian. The service sector is also Russian-speaking in the majority. You can practice the Russian language. Very convenient.

The “farm building” are the ruins of an old windmill.
Thank you for that! That's good to know. How old do you reckon it to be? Maybe used for processing something?

@@borschbandit It was first mentioned in 1497. It was the windmill of nearby Järve manor (formerly known as Türpsal)
Damn, that's such a soulful video
16:20 that album is from the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
You did really good. I live in Eastern Estonia and thank for visiting us!
It's so great to see someone visiting my city!
You will enjoy the upcoming second episode! In the next episode, we go to the beautiful House of Culture there.
I myself was surprised that someone came to Jõhvi.
@@DomitoroDesuI'm still surprised. 😅
Congrats on the vinyl purchase! Certainly an excellent piece of history. :)
Funny fact: The word "вокзал" ("vaksaal" in Estonian) originates from the English word " Vauxhall".
Vaksal estonian.
It's "vaksal" in Estonian, as it did got that one through Russian (which itself got it from German or English).
Because of that the "+saali" (hall) is lost and "vak-" is meaningless (from Foxhall it likly would have carried over as voks+hall).

In the beginning, I didn’t understand if you wanted to go to Jõhvi or to Jõgeva….
I think that we all were wondering about that - including the clerk.

Interestingly, you'r first language is English, but you probounce Estonian names with russian accent.
It's because he's a tankie.
LoL! No wonder if reading from russian and asking about it from russians (maybe kinda mind traveling at "Russia" and "Soviet" as well).
@@i.h.9829Meaningless word I know. But you really think being cultured makes someone a tankie?

You need to learn Estonian, Who needs Putin ?
@@lucasrem is it useful to learn the language which will most probably disappear within 30-40 years?
I see it is full of delusional Russian bots
@@Сигизмунд-с2й You mean Russian after Russia getting curb stomped?
7:52 , it used to be a temporary middle school. Also it was home to electricity company
Good to know! I think the building has a beautiful design. Was surprised to see it boarded up but it may be from renovations.
To be honest, the streets look much better in summer.
That train looked really nice 😍

Are you India Pakistan, why you say that ?
@@lucasrem Why the hell would they be indian or pakistani ffs? Europeans are far more interested in trains than you people are.

Would you recommend going here to someone who wants to go Russia but to worried about smo to go there now ( eu citizen)

No he shouldn't try Russian. Nobody should try Russian first in any situation.

No! That is actually reallly insulting to Estonians. You should never approach anyone in Russian.
@@palmi7816 Sure, if you want to be a lowlife.
@@palmi7816 Parasite.
Station and line opened in 1936, definitely Soviet era.
The monument is for the Gulag deportations.
1936 OK. But soviet came 1940!
Not Soviet era in Estonia!
