Hello to any eesti boys or gals in Jow Forums I'm just a regular Mexican who happens to like languages. One of the languages that intrigues me the most are Uralic languages; >Finnish: Too generic and widespread. >Hungarian: Too cool, but, kind of fucked up.
Estonian is the one I want to learn, it's really close to finnish, but still, people don't know a lot about it, so I'll cool. Here's the thing. Due to its underground like property, not as many places can help me learn it.
Shh... Shhh Don't worry Lithuania, I said I love languages, I already studied Old Prussian and i'm getting to like baltic languages, the problem is that Estonian is hard as duck, while yours is medium!

I don't get why being full is bad. Don't you like people being interested in your culture?
Ma olen täis - I'm full / I'm drunk Me oleme täis - We are full / We are drunk

see, we're already learning new things.

If you're actually serious about learning this secret code talker tounge I can't really help you other than some basic phrases. speaklanguages.com/estonian/phrases/
Isaiah Nguyen
Mi ne parolas mordetan estonian Thanks bro, I'll be sure to practice it here in the weekly /balt/ thread.
Connor Wood
if it's any consolation, Lithuanian looks cooler.
Landon Flores
Don't lie to him, let the truth be just that, true.
Grayson Nguyen
No but it's true though. The most archaic indo-european language, has deep similarities with sanskrit even.
Mason Perry
-is and -as endings look cooler than swamp finnish, has a more noble feel they have cool sanskrit-like shit too
James Stewart
i'm a bored eesti boi. ama
Michael Jones
are you me
Justin Collins
I don't know which language (The archaic one) you're talking about, but yeah, Indo-European languages (for example hindi) are easier than the Uralic ones. You know, every time I read Latvian or Lithuanian, it kind of reminds me of Esperanto due to the -as, -is, -o, -a, etc. Then do more than just bump (which by the way thank you).
Dominic Stewart
>Then do more like what? you're gonna have to be a bit more specific jah. ma olen sina

Read the OP, mate. JK. Like give me a review on Duolingo/Estonian, or recommend me a place to learn Estonian, IDK.

Kinldasti voolab meis kaugelt suguluses ühist verd nagu eestlastel ikka kombeks kipub olema.

>lingvist.com/course/learn-estonian-online/ it's developed by nuclear physicists and computer engineers who learn a foreign language in less than three months so i guess it's a good place to start ilmselt küll. kuigi mine tea
Evan Cooper
I found something like Duolingo that does Estonian and in celebration of EV100 is giving membership for free. ev100.ee/et/eesti-keel-selgeks-100-tunniga 1. Go to www.speakly.me 2. Press "buy now" 3. Log in, choose Estonian, whichever tier 4. Enter coupon EV100 5. Choose your level 6. Start learning I haven't tried it yet so I don't know it is good.
Brayden Smith

Is there any way to tell if a verb is going to be -ma or -da, or is it just something I'm going to have to learn by heart?
Ryan Hughes
Also Finnish and Estonian have a lot of words that are the same, but mean something slightly or completely different, which makes it damn funny sometimes.
-ma is like the base verb. -da is like a hypothetical. *magama - to sleep at the present state *magada - to sleep at an unspecified time, probably in the future
>Is there any way to tell if a verb is going to be -ma or -da, or is it just something I'm going to have to learn by heart? I´ll just give you the wikipedia examples.
ma-form usually expresses some activity that is done after another activity (relative past). ma-form or a phrase in ma-form in a sentence can be a:
destination adverbial: Läksime luge(ma) (We went to read) - ma-form here expresses destination. We went somewhere to read. ma-form here shows that we went to some place with the intention to read. dependence/relation adverbial: Ta sundis mind raamatut luge(ma) (He forced me to read a book) part of multiple word verb: Ta hakkas luge(ma) (He started to read) very rarely independent verb: Kähku lugema! (Quickly, to reading)
Learning all these rules seems like a waste of time and will make you hate the process. Everyone who speaks Estonian learnt it by practice. I recommend taking the free 9 month course:

What's the point of learning any language other than English?
