Sidenote, but as a Finn it’s always so fun to read or hear Estonian. Very often I can get at least the gist of what’s being said, and with this phrase I was like 75% sure of what it meant (the 25% comes from the fact that many Estonian words look familiar but actually mean something completely different than what I’d expect.) Finnic languages are pretty rare with like 7 million speakers total, so getting this “oh this language sounds so familiar” feeling isn’t exactly common for us.

Somebody actually did a fun video on this where a Finn and an Estonian tried to guess what the other was saying.
