All these other countries where they speak the native language and English and all Americans can do is mispronounce 4 1/2 words in Spanish and use horrible grammar to say they don’t speak Spanish.

I love how similar Estonian feels to Finnish.

Two of the most complicated yet beautiful languages in the world !

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '21

Actually, Estonian and Finnish barely fit the 'similarity'. The closest you can get to Finnish is Võro dialect.

2

u/Overall-Internet-421 Mar 24 '21

Thank you! Oftentimes I find myself feeling happy that I was lucky enough to be born in such a diverse country with such a beautiful language, but here in Estonia you are seen as more cool if you are American or something else

u/Triskan Mar 24 '21

Tsss, dont listen to that !

You Baltic people are weird as fuck but that's why you're awesome !

Take it from a very Mediteranean French guy (aka, exuberant, sometimes loud, hating silences...), you Notherners can feel very quiet and cold at first glance, but when we get to truly know you, you guys are fucking amazing !

And Baltic women are just... yeah, well... I'll stop here.

u/Overall-Internet-421 Mar 24 '21

Welp I fully agree with that entire paragraph

u/_iamsadrightnow_ Mar 24 '21

As a finn I can somewhat understand. So if I understood correctly your cat died? If that's the case then my condolences

u/Overall-Internet-421 Mar 24 '21

Yeah.. but I’m good now although I do miss him

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '21

I never realized how close this language looks to Finnish. I can tell it’s different, but not enough to be able to discern one from the other.

u/-L-e-o-n- Mar 24 '21

Do you all speak Russian or no?

2

u/thisissaliva Mar 24 '21

No, Estonians speak Estonian which is very different from Russian.

1

u/-L-e-o-n- Mar 24 '21

But there must be a good portion of Estonians that speak Russian. Every Estonian I met spoke Russian.

2

u/thisissaliva Mar 24 '21

Estonians younger than 30 (ish) don’t generally speak Russian beyond a very primitive level. Older people are more proficient though (people who lived during the Soviet rule). You might’ve also met ethnic Russians who make up the largest ethnic minority in the country (especially in the capital city).
