Estonian - Post your questions here.

  • 1 year later...

We can always try! I have been learning Estonian for a couple of months now (COVID hobby - what a beautiful language, people and country) and am making progress. I play a lot with this (befriended) Estonian bully  (whooping me with his single handed Luger grrr) and i want to throw some unexpected slang on him. Any recommendations? Just things that are used in regular life, that wont come back in any dictionairy easily.

Disclaimer: wont drop foreign language on FA server chat of course haha. 

A bonus: Dutch slang you can throw on those irritating Dutchies! 
"Rot op man" -> "Mine ära, mees" -> "Get lost man" (you can also use the more friendly "Ga toch fietsen", which literally means: "Go ride a bicycle" or "Hoepel op" which means  "Hoolahoop out of here" haha)
"Eikel" -> About the same as 'tyrapea', which would literally translate into "lulhoofd"! 

"Mongool" -> About the same!  This word is used to describe a person with mental disabilities in a non-nice way..but we use it all the time to describe any lame human. 

Furthermore you can use any random sickness to add weight to your cursings, we probably use them all in some kind of way haha.

@Flag Sir yes sir, ma õpin eesti keelt nüüd. Not on a course or something, just on the side since i like learning languages. Had no real reason for choosing Estonian, but i talk and play a lot with some Estonians and i was intruiged by the way the language looks and sounds...plus it's hard, which makes it a nice challenge.
