Nice video ! I wanted to reply to the remark about hard to speak Estonians because the switch to English. There is a program in Estonia ,, Keelesõber” where they take together foreign and Estonian. So they can have Estonian talk by calling each other. So it would be easier to learn Estonian language :)
Manan, what a wonderful series you are putting on. Tänan hästi!!! First, English does have a bit of its grammatical case history in active use: The genitive. You add an " 's" to the singular noun to show possession: "The town's dog." You also know the plural: " s' " and only in context tells you singular or plural: "The towns' dog." (the dog belonged to two towns...silly, I know). Oh, and "who/whom" remnants of 'who' in the nominative and the dative actually (I am a linguist). I would give almost anything to come to Estonia. It has been part of my history growing up in the US. I have 3 language books I am using, and it is sinking in slowly. I do love the case system. To come for the Laulupidu! You have been there long enough to have experienced that. Mina olen väga JEALOUS!!! You are doing so much for Estonia and Estonian. All the best, Michael in Virginia, USA
It helps leaning Estonian when you have a partner from there 😉 I live in Australia, but I have wanted to speak Estonian with her, so I am currently learning it. It's not too bad when you don't worry about the cases and just memorise phrases, because then you kind of implicitly pick up on the endings as you use the words.
I would say that about 90% of estonians who speak estonian by heart, actually do not know how to properly speak estonian. If you get through the language lessons you can feel blessed (the same for estonians) :))) wow, your pronounciation is spot on.
Average estoninan speak 3 labguage. Some even 5-6 language. Local languge are here Estonian, english, russian ,some now finnish and germany or even spanish / france few swedeish too

Hi Manan, Do you know about the Estonian business school in Tallin? quality of education and its overall reputation? I am going to apply for 1 year MBA here. I already study in Sweden 2 years Master. How's the visa ratio for this school as its private?
Estonians are touchy about foreigners speaking/not speaking the language because there are people who lived here for 40-60 years and they haven't been bothered to learn our language. Why come and live in the country you don't respect? Check out Estonian Singing Revolution
You can technically use future tense in a way Germans do. Normally Estonians just use present tense while implying future through context. For example: "me saame hakkama", "saab näha/saame näha" - its not present tense.. "saame" is like German "werden"

That is correct but you need to have a partner first
A great video--the facts are right and your attitude is perfect. Suurepärane!

Yes very good. But you need to learn Estonian or Russian
Can you give us a tour of the place you live in someday?
Some day sure !
@@MananAnwar Great!
Hi Manan, i've applied for master in Estonian studies, is this program good for me at the future or not.
Well it depends on your future goals.
Also we have no sex nor future (in the language at least)
Hahahaha best comment, väga hea
