  • While in Tallinn, Estonia we thought it would be great to learn a little about the Estonian language. So we were lucky enough to have Mariel, a local Estonian UA-camr, help us out and teach us some basic Estonian words and slang.

    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.

    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.

    • @Just_Mariel
      @Just_Mariel 5 років тому +39

      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!

    • @janeks301

      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.
