![How I See the US After Living Abroad for 15 Years [CULTURE SHOCK]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DO5x_tJBn7w/mqdefault.jpg)
Hello, someone from Estonia here to answer your questions. (:
First I am going to correct/specify some things said in the video
1. The capitals don't change literally, the offical one is always Tallinn. We just call some cities the capitals of something since they're associated with it the most . Pärnu is the summer capital - sandy beaches, festivals, loads of people go there for summer ; Tartu is the cultrual capital - beatiful archidecture and so on.
2. We do not have clear WIFI everywhere lol. Maybe 4G or 5G internet, but not WIFI.
Estonian and Finnish languages are quite similar. If you'd put Finnish subtitles on your videos I'd probrably understeand like 30-40% without ever studying it. It's a little bit confusing though, our languages consist of the same words but they mean different things. Exactly like said in the video - hallitus (Estonian) - mold ; hallitus (Finnish) - government. When talking to eachother we use English.
Some songs you could listen to:
(These are all from the Estonian Song Festival, which happens once in every 5 years. It's a very big event and has been a thing since 1869. All the songs talk about our history/the beauty of our country. A short video about it : czcams.com/video/CNjBwIsT8sU/video.html)
1. Mu isamaa on minu arm - Laulupidu 2019 : czcams.com/video/XTdOiCa0-4o/video.html
2. Laul põhjamaast / Laulupidu 2019 : czcams.com/video/AL3V1XQBLOo/video.html
3. Alo Mattiisen “Isamaa ilu hoieldes”
: czcams.com/video/0qalDlQsOSg/video.html
4. Tõnis Mägi "Koit" / Laulupidu 2014 : czcams.com/video/BTS4JvKXvMI/video.html
(Not exactly the original folk songs but you'll get the vibe, I couldn't find any real folk songs but if you google "Estonian folk songs" you might find some, these are just some to give you the first impression)
5. TRAD.ATTACK! - Kuukene / Moon (Official Music Video) : czcams.com/video/BaP6jUgFGkA/video.html
6 Lepaseree "Põhjatuuled" : czcams.com/video/iPvFAvVPDds/video.html
7. Küla mul käskis vait olla / The village told me to be silent : czcams.com/video/yh_Wgqa6chU/video.html
(Some pop songs by Estonian artists)
8. Ewert and The Two Dragons - "Good Man Down" (official video) : czcams.com/video/ddCsOTWz7gI/video.html
9. Traffic - Für Elise (Official Video) : czcams.com/video/HlJSQA3uT_4/video.html
10. Cartoon feat. Jüri Pootsmann - I Remember U [NCS Official Video] : czcams.com/video/3wjb3HtD32c/video.html
11. Liis Lemsalu - Halb või hea : czcams.com/video/WD1LBckiNHo/video.html
12. nublu - croissantid (j6hkra eelarvega video) : czcams.com/video/gDDUOCUYhOM/video.html
13. NOËP - fk this up (feat. CHINCHILLA) (Official Video) : czcams.com/video/nwTTRy4O-iU/video.html
14. Jozels - Milka (Official Video) : czcams.com/video/W2ZX2RWN8LY/video.html
15. Curly Strings "Maailm heliseb" : czcams.com/video/jTv3wWQDDgQ/video.html (This one also has a folky vibe)
If you have any more questions you can ask ((: I tried my best.
Thank you so much! 😍
Welcome!
Estinian and Finnish are not very similar. Words are very different.
@@marguskiis7711 That's true but many words also have the same base, sound similar. They are both Finno-Ugric languages so it is inevitable that the languages are similar. I personally find the languages similar as I can understeand Finnish to a certain level without ever studying it.
Indeed they won't be completely the same since we are talking about two separate languages spoken in two separate countries. If that's what you were trying to say - that they're not exactly the same.😃
Im estonian
Estonia gained independence in 1918, then Russians ocupied Estonia in 1940, germans in 1941, Russians agan in 1944 and then they Re-gained independence in 1991.🙃❄🇪🇪
As an Estonian.. never call us eastern Europe. Even now, when I live in UK, I feel an eye twitch when people ask if 'oh is that the country on eastern Europe '. Just don't!! Otherwise. Well done video.
8:25
Yeah, without speaking Finnish itself, basic conversation is still possible between Estonian and Finnish. It becomes easier if both speakers know which words dont exist in other's language or have even limited vocabulary. Both languages split mere thousand years or so a go. For us, learning Finnish isnt hard. There's no true mutual intelligibility but depending on context 40-60% gets through and rest you might guess or figure out.
Basically, people in Estonia use either Estonian or Russian (Soviet era colonists) in their daily lives and English to interact with foreigners. Youth generally is able to speak English, older generation Russian, some speak all three (children from mixed families usually become native speakers of Russian and Estonian both).
It seems to be quite easy to get by for UK or US expatriates.
Estonian and Finnish grew apart about 2000 years ago so while the grammar and roots of the words are very similar, they are written and pronounced quite differently, I mean for you it would be like trying to speak with someone who speaks Old English. Also while estonian has a lot of germanic and slavic influenced loan words, finns are more conservative with their language. Some nice and short estonian content to check out: Estonian Dance Celebration / Estonian Song Celebration.
Oh, that's interesting!
Estonian barely has any more Slavic loans than Finnish.
The languages grew apart much later, in about in 15th century. Before it the written sources show the Finnish language was pretty close to modern Estonian. There is very limited information about old Estonian.
2000 years, lol, nobody knows which language was spoken here then. Estonia was the LAST part of Europe which was civlized (got the cities, education, writings, schools) and this was as late as in 13th century. ALL other Europe was already civilized.
@@marguskiis7711 "Old Finnish" actually just "looks" similar to modern Estonian: It has some similarities, especially in orthography, but it is in fact mutually intelligible with modern Finnish, while modern Estonian is... Just somewhat intelligible to Finns. Every Finn can understand 15th century Finnish. It is relatively more conservative(potentially also slightly more archaic) than Estonian.
"Mÿnna tachton gernast spuho sommen gelen Emÿna daÿda" is the oldest known example of written Finnish, found in a German journal. It looks very weird and has some "Germanic-bias" in orthography, as Finnish orthography didn't yet exist at the time: But when spoken out aloud, it practically matches modern Finnish.
The first published Finnish work, the ABC-kiria, from the early 16th century, is relatively close to modern Finnish.
But yeah, they didn't grow apart 2000 years ago. Most likely indeed around the 15th century, when writing started to become a thing for both.
@@D4rkstorn The sentence sounds really like some old South Estonian dialect. The -n ending of words was very common in old Estonian but was lost during the 19th century.
Arvo Pärt, Ruja, Winny Puhh, Ultima Thule, Singer Vinger.
Paha Polly, SuurPapa.
finnish is like drunken estonian. yes, ofcourse i can understand it, but it helps to be drunk.
There is a joke that If Estonian gets very drunk they can speak perfectly Finnish😂😂
One true fact about Estonia is During the soviet Russian occupation not only soviet Russia send Estonians to Siberia, but also did Estonian neighbour to another neighbour (beacuse of jealousy) . But now Estonians dont Talk about it. Dark times of Estonia.
The population *was* declining because the Soviet occupation ruined the Estonian economy and many occupation era illegal Russian immigrants returned to Russia. Now it's growing again.
You just lie. Its not growing really. The population is growing a little bit with immigration only. Estonians as a nation is still in decline. And 2021 Estonia had record breaking death rate (biggest from WWII). Birth rate is poor.
@@marguskiis7711 might change with the influx of Ukrainian refugees. I dare assume they would rather assimilate with Estonians than Russians after Putin's war. Kids go into our kindergartens etc, next generation after (mixed families in future) would be basically Estonians or people identifying themselves as Ukrainian and Estonian.
Wtf are you talking about.
@@Sharpster441 facts.
I am half Estonian and half Russian last year I moved to Germany
Present from England! 🇬🇧
Hello i am Estonian 50% and 50%Russian now living in Germany 🇪🇪 🇩🇪
Estonian song -Isamaa Ilu Hoieldes.Kerli , Tommy Cash,Metsatöll.
LOL, not the goat head, it is a part of pork probably neck. And reflective clothing is not obligatory, it is enough if you wear a reflective peace, about 5 cm in diameter called "helkur", reflective clothes won't harm though.
Yes, Estonians love rock music. For example No big silence is one of the heaviest bands ever. And punk music - like Winny Puhh (been on their concert at TV Tower (where the 360° Kiiking was filmed) and they are absolutely crazy punk musicians, my ears almost started bleeding))). But my all time favorite is a lovely song by Liisi Koikson "Sinu hääl". Of folk bands I recommend TradAttack! With their song "Ride".
In addition to the singing that helped regain our independence back, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians composed a Baltic Chain, people were holding their hands together, through all three countries.

Ivo Linna is a famos singer in estonia

dont quote me on this but i think the pop decline is assosiated with the old soviets dying off and many of the "more women" are part of those soviets.
I could do it i know so much english

Greetings from Estonia🇪🇪
I was born in Värska, it's near Russian boarder, Saatse. Värska is a small borough, they're talking Russian, Estonian and Seto there. For foreigners, Seto is very hard language. So you would not understand anything what they say. Only old generations speaks fully Seto. There are Seto songs where they are singing in Seto language. So I hope it helps a bit!
Edit: there are my famous people here! (531 singers)

Watch eurovision
Metsatöll
Watch it
The only toponyme he pronounced right was Valga. ALL others were totally wrong.
In my opinion it’s time to let Estonia be a nice small Nordic country. Estonia very deserves to be a Nordic country, because Estonia has done a lot of work, we have many smart people, we are good at digital things, we have northern lights and we are very similar to Finland and other Nordic countries like: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. We are not similar to Latvia and Lithuania and the other Eastern Europe countries. It’s time to stop calling Estonia Eastern Europe country and Baltic country and forget all this terrible, rude and mean Soviet times. Let’s just stop this Eastern Europe and Soviet stigma thing and let Estonia turn the new page and let them be a normal small Nordic country next to Sweden and Finland!!! Estonians call themselves the Nordic country and many other people and tourists had also said that Estonia should be a Nordic country, because Estonian people are Finnic people not Balts and we are more similar to Scandinavia. Yes many people had agreed with that Estonia must belong to the Nordic group and seperate from Latvia and Lithuania. They don’t even need these countries, because Estonians communicate more with Finns and other Scandinavian countries. Estonia will be a very good partner for the other Nordic countries. We will do a very great work and we will be very strong!!!😁🙏
In estonia we say peipsi järv
Raim is our country fish

I live in esronia

03:34 1979 -191 was in Soviet time only north -Estonia reach look Finnich TV programs . ..How clouse is Finnish to Estonian language - not that clouse like Irish tu UK or Spanish Portugese but that clouse like Russian to Poland language.
Actually not. Russian and Polish are actually a way closer than Finnish and Estonian. But don`t tell it to poles.
@@marguskiis7711 Finnish and estonians.
Tallinn

I think most Estonians know Finnish better than they admit.
Not at all. Only North Estonians speak Finnish because they are STILL watching Finn TVs. But not the southeners.
After few more beers than few ..

Here some Estonian men have liderally 2 permanent GF (3way relationships), we do not have marrages.
Liderally by law there is so called open marrage law basicly cohabitation kind of thing.
Im estonian and i dont understand finnish language
personally, I would not understand anything if a Finnish person talked to me as an Estonian.
no mony no hony
Hotmail is not invented by estonians. Thats totally wrong. Skype was invented by a Danish firm which employed a bunch of Estonian programmers who did the main development.
Why Estonian population is in decline? Simple. Whe have surprisingly high death rate (generally poor health, bad habits -- especially massive and unstoppable drinking -- pretty the same like in Russia) and poor birth rate. Estonians are very suicidal too one way or another. Quite a lot of estonians left the country 2009 -- 2016 and never returned. Immigration is minor.
Sad is that this video you are reacting to has bad mistakes, many factual,
liderally 1 thing is that wrong that this guy can get him sued by the country.
Real bad ones were he's oppinnions on affiliationsof the country and one comment is basicly sacrilege here in 🇪🇪
