Depend the generation, boomers are better at russian usually
Jack Gray
I guess they had to learn Russian back then. Everyone thought they were going to annex Europe.

Boomers talk to me freely, zoomers pretend they don't understand
Parker Stewart
Yes their boomers usually know Russian since it was a mandatory subject during the Soviet times. The younger generation speaks adequate English with their adorable accent. Lots of Estonians come to work in Finland and they pick up Finnish pretty effortlessly, though I've noticed that the youngsters might still prefer using English instead of Finnish. In those cases I often insist on speaking to them in a kind of Finnish-Estonian pidgin because fuck English
Jason Allen
That's because zoomers are autistic. You keep doing you Ivan.

It is inevitable that the entire world will become part of Russia. God wants it that way.

Jace Garcia
Don't forget that some Estonian boomers know of some Finnish because of Finnish television during USSR era. Northern Estonian boomers mainly. But young folks have had your average European television programming after the early 90's.
When I visited Saaremaa (the larger island in left) I spoke english without a thought. One restaurant had a menu in Finnish outside for some reason, but they couldn't speak it then.
Christian Adams
Aren't Estonian and Finnish mutually intelligible to some degree?

Colton White
Should be about as intelligible as Ukrainian and Polish
Christian Perez
Grammar is alike. Some words are similar, some very misleading and much is just up to guessing. I would understand about 25% of things
Christopher Ramirez
So that's enough to understand each other in a basic conversation
Camden Torres
I always speak with them in Russian, even though I knew Estonian, because it still mandatory subjects even in Russian schools.

If I'm ever not sure of what end to use then I use a question. But mostly it comes naturally.
