*So sorry for the bad audio, something went wrong 😰
Today we're back to Baltics! We've seen Latvian before but today we're looking at its neighbour - Estonian language. These two languages have nothing in common, in fact Estonian has nothing in common with almost any other European language (except for Finnish and Hungarian). For sure it's a very unique language and very fun to learn about!

I always get triggered when over 800 years of our history gets ignored and the Soviet Union is the only thing that matters.

I learned Estonian as an exchange student, Estonians get really proud when foreigners learn it. Even though I always make some grammatical errors, I still love speaking it and speak it everyday

[@a.balazs4413]

I am just a simple Hungarian, if I see Estonian or Finnish. I like.

[@Joonaskaa]

It took me 11 years of schooling... in Estonia... as an Estonian... to get my grammar correct - after my finals I really stopped trying :D

[@ihuliige6776]

What makes the Estonian language even more melodic is that, being an agglutinative language, the word order in a sentence can be nearly random. The normal sentence structure is S-V-O, but it can be easily switched around for different emphasis or poetic purposes.

Love from Finland. Estonia and Finland are brothers both historically and by language.

[@SionTJobbins]

Estonian (and Finnish) is such a beautiful sounding language. Sounds so light and clear, like tip-toeing across the speech.

[@derhamcohomology]

My favourite Estonian word is "öö".

[@markopalikko6986]

Born in Finland, now Canadian, the first time I heard Estonian i was blown away. I thought it was Finnish. It sounds so much like I remember Finnish was in the 70's. Finnish is so much harder (sounding) than the Finnish i grew up with, maybe i just grew up with the Helsinki dialect.

[@stephenmorley1991]

It is beautiful to listen to in spoken and song form. It's also impressive how easily Estonians pick up and speak other languages.

[@nikolaikorobeinik119]

Hi, Estonian here. Aavik's legacy is unprecedented in the world. Imagine one smart guy starts spewing out words that the whole nation ends up using years later. These are really common words that are used in everyday conversation and they have the impression that they have always been there. I think this is crazy.

I'm a proud learner of this beautiful language. Armastan Eesti !

[@SilverSpur1]

I am Hungarian, I didn't knew we have 18 cases, we just learned 5. We also have Ö, ö, Ő, ő, and Ü, ü letters, it's so easy for me to pronounce them. Our "closest relative" mansi sounds perfectly intelligible, i can understand it, after more than 1200 years separate from us. So mansi are the other Hungarians on the eastern Urals, they just stayed home, did not wander to west.

Our group of Moldavian students traveled to Tartu by tourist bus from Tallinn during winter vacations in February 1974.

[@mazettas]

Thank you for creating this lovely video.

[@imanofaction]

My favourite odd word is "jäääär" consisting of words "jää" - meaning ice and "äär" - meaning edge... so edge of ice

[@NightBane345]

Have a very good friend in Estonia, and did visit 2 times Eesti, first time it sounded like a mixture of Finnish and Russian to me, but when I went on second visit. I stayed at her families home, and heard it spoken longer and more proper, not just on ordering food or taxi.

[@ralphbaier7793]

Julie, you and your channel are my early Sunday morning comfort. Thank you, again. Love, peace, and harmony for all!

[@lroke2947]

This was one of the best briefs on Estonian that I've come across. Thank you.
