Actually if you listen a conversation between two estonians then you can hear that they use 3 different languages in one sentense. English, russian and estonian.
Aww I love all the Estonian episodes! I’m Estonian but currently been away for a while. Made me so proud of my home and miss it sooo much! Thank you for bringing this to my evening. You are such positive and energetic people . I hope the best for you,safe travels! ❤️ Ps. I recommend next time to make like a local friend from day one . You could have gone to many better places especially with the 10$ challenge.
Random - suvaline, ettejuhtuv, ebatavaline, juhuslik - plenty of words :). It's more of a girly or childish thing in my opinion to use those typical English words in my opinion, at least when it's a habit. Sometimes it's normal to think of another languages words or phrase before remembering your own language's - when work or conversation's subject is something often littered with loaned or borrowed words.
I suggest you guys taking the 2 hour long ferry from Estonia to Finland it is 15 euros for an adult ticket and you have like a day to be in Helsinki and then at like 8 or 9 o clock the ferry is going back to Estonia and you will arrive at like 12 pm

we dont have a word for random? what? random = suvaline, really = tõesti, not päriselt..päriselt = for real..I think Mariel forgot how to speak Estonian
Hei :) Yeah, we don't have the word for random but suvaline or juhuslik would be the closest to that in my opinion, if you want to express it in Estonian. And yes, you are right. I couldn't remember the word tõesti at that moment. I wasn't given any time to prepare, and I didn't know what questions would be asked, so I told them the words I remembered first :) Though for me päriselt makes sense.. people ask like that: really? for real? päriselt? if you hear something surprising and can't believe it, so it's not wrong!
It's actually sometimes hard to translate words on the spot. Your brain starts doing weird stuff and sometimed you forget even basic things. Has happened to me. And also "päriselt" is perfectly good translation in that case. Though I would often use "tegelt?"
@@janeks301 It really is btw interesting. Our brains store memories in sections and its theorized that the reason for not being able to recall stuff that we know is because ironically while the brains tries to "route" the right data in order to do that it disconnects other unrelated info for faster "info grab". Sometimes part of that info overlaps and gets blocked off as the brains thinks its unneeded, so you "know the answer" but it won't come to you. This also explains why we stop thinking about something and it comes to us later as "the block is lifted" and the brain uses different route or blocks as we remember answers on the spot to questions of before. Lots of fun research done on this field.
Beautiful and helpful video! Thank you. We are visiting Europe after helping a new school open in Lviv. Slava Ukraine! We're in Krakow, also amazing. We will stay in Tallinn for February, hopefully longer after my Digital Nomad Visa application interview on Feb 1st...
Wow I remember sitting behind the table next to you when you filmed this :D It was the day of the protest on Freedom Square right ? Awesome to make such a connection, hah!
Mhm, I thought the same, random=suvaline, but I think the meaning, or the undertone of random in Estonian slang is a bit different from just suvaline (or suvakas in slang also, but again, not totally the same undertone as random, also spelled rändom sometimes with ä)
we spoke estanglais at home, what word came out for a concept or thing or whatever may have been in any language... but immediaely understood and next time, different words would be spoken, but not intentionally, just that they were "closer to the tounge"?
A useful phrase for the visitor is: Aoäiaõeuueoaõieaiaõueauaööau This means “The night honour of a lullabye languaged dog in the yard of new bean-flowers belonging to the sister of my sunrisy father-in-law”. It takes a little practice, but you do not know when you might get into a debate on the various grades of honour due to dogs, and it is best to be prepared.
In addition to "päriselt?" and "päriselt või" estonians often append "ongi nii?" and "on ju?" at the end of their sentences, which is similar to English "isn't it?".
4:55 those people behind the glass lol I'm Estonian, but u don't speak Estonian I speak Russian instead, now I live in Britain getting a stronger British accent every year and I really want to learn Estonian, apparently it really difficult for English speakers to learn
IMO Vilnius is the prettiest/cutest capital city in all of the three Baltic states. P.S. I'm from Estonia myself so there's no biased opinion over here!
I just searched "Does Estonia" and the first one was "Does Estonia speak english" as an Estonian im going to say that we Estonians dont speak english all the time but we start studying it from the year 3 ^^ im going to the year 6 now 👁️👄👁️
We have word random in Estonian language _ Random = Juhuslik. That mind young people use less Estonian words and forgett litlle by little estonian language = after 2-3 generation = 50-75 years is Estoninan languge twice poor by Estoninan words then now. I am sad. ( Toomas 50yaers old man.)
"Vabandust" is actually a shortened version of "Ma palun vabandust" (I peg your pardon). But as Estonians never liked too many words.."Vabandust" is ok. Stepped on my toe... so get off and go away. If you stay on my toe for longer than I say "Vabandust" you will really feel sorry. ... Not because I'm a touch guy or something.... just we have security cameras all around and every violent action will be recorded.
9:35 there is a word for random - it's suvaline. See tüüp on jumalast suvaline, meaning that dude is totally random. Maybe younger generations don't use that word any more.
