Glad to see the Estonian language getting the spotlight
Not all 30% of its vocabulary is borrowed, there is a minority of “ex-nihilo” words, created by the lingüist Johannes Aavik, some examples are “ese” meaning object, “kolp”, skull or “naasma” to return.
That’s incredible, I had never heard of that! Really interesting that such ex-nihilo words merged into a natural language
Ese is quite similar to the Finnish word “esine”, meaning “object”.
The fact that it doesn’t have vowel harmony like Finnish for example makes it less attractive to me
What’s vowel harmony 🤔
Only certain pairs of vowels can be on either side of consonants in a word. Irish has this too. In Irish E often goes with i, for example and both are considered slender vowels. The others are broad vowels. I think it’s to do with where in the mouth the sounds are produced.
And Estonian has less of that saucy vocal fry the Finns have.
@@alastairstaunton7081 Irish doesn’t have vowel harmony. What Irish does is represent the _consonant_ quality using the surrounding vowel letters. It’s a hack to work around the fact that Irish’s orthography is much, much older than that of any of the other living languages that use the Latin alphabet and it needs to encode a contrast between velarised and palatalized consonants that wasn’t easily represented way back in the first millennium.
Vowel harmony means the vowel _sounds_ need to agree within a word, or up until some dividing point where there’s a neural vowel of some kind.
@@talideon And to add to what you’re saying: Vowel harmony means that the vowels _in grammatical suffixes and prefixes change_ to match the other vowels in the word.
So suppose that English had vowel-harmony, with e matching to ‘i’ and ‘ee’, but with a matching to ‘a’,’ay’, ‘o’, ‘u’. In that case, we would have _two_ suffixes for the past-tense: “-ed” for verbs with ‘i’ and/or ‘ee’ in them, and ‘-ad’ for verbs with other vowels in them. So the past-tense of ‘agree’ would still be ‘agreed’, but the past tense of “ban” would be “banad”, due to the vowel-harmony.
Just like Finnish, sounds “jumpy” in a cute way because of long consonants
We need a full video about the Estonian language
Sounds a bit like Spanish
Sounds basically like Finnish IMO
First part was very spanish sounding but it was because she listed some south-american states (Peru and Bolivia).
Sounds cool
If it was any more Germanic it would be Volapük
Sounds lovely.
I really like those languages
I was in Estonia last year and I totally fell in love with the country and people. I learned how to say hello , goodbye , and thank you in Latvian and Lithuanian. I gave up trying to speak these words in Estonian. What a difficult language for me.
Just don’t ask them how to say “12 months”!
Are you going to do a full-length video about this language?
I don’t have specific plans to, but maybe someday.
It sounds like someone who does not speak Finnish trying to sound Finnish with gibberish. I love the way both languages sound, by the way. So different to most of the rest of languages in Europe!!
Any similarities to Turkic or Turkish languages ????
Vowel harmony (not in Estonian though) and agglutination is some common traits Finno-Ugric and Turkic languages usually share
🇪🇪🇪🇪
Sounds to me a bit like Neopolitan or Portuguese.
It sounds a bit like Greek to me, I know it’s not, but it does sound a bit like it
another lang short, nice
As an Estonian I can tell you that our language is pretty odd, no future, no gender, no gerund (-ing form in English) aka no present continuous. Yet still one of the hardest languages in the world
