It was the same for a couple of Skolt säämi families from Vanhakylä / Nikel area in Pazretsky, Russia near the norwegian border, when they came to Norway on the Pasvik side in the 1990s and heard to their bafflement that some of the old norwegians in Kirkenes spoke säämi to each other. During the cold war there was an iron curtain. Most norwegians younger than retirement age had in the 1980s not even heard of Estonia for example, just maybe seen the Estonskaja province name in the USSR on the maps. Likewise the minority of the skolt säämi in northwest Russia had no information there were säämi living in Norway before the borders opened.

These 2 facts, together, would surely make the Estonian rhythm more natural, for Indo-European-speakers. Also worth noting, is that the Finnish, heard, in this video, is _”Kirjakieli”_ (”Book Finnish”), which no-one speaks naturally, in Finland. If you do, you’ll get labelled, as either an immigrant, or a retard; as it sounds, not only non-native, but non-human; in much the same way, as speaking English, without contractions or weak forms.

@@cheerful_crop_circle it's a question AS well as mine guess in regards of phonetics (how the languages sounds like). Estonian in particular is vowel heavy (makes lot of use of them, and elongates them - the accents also depend on the speaker, sociolect, dialect, choice of vocabulary, etc). Estonian and Finnish both have tendencies of avoiding consonant clusters - and to reduce/simplify or even drop some of those entirely when loaning words and accustmizing to the local phonology. Estonian and Finnish have only „s“, „š“, „z“, and „ž“ for the sibilants - but really only the „s“ makes appearance in the native vocabulary, and there is habit to simplify other sibilants similarly as with the other consonants, in particular when jotting down by hearing, something like: š→sh; z→ts; ž→tsh. etc. So: „Schloss“ became „Loss“... In Estonian at least, phones(häälikud) are categorized as: * „täishäälik“ - literal translation: full phone - the vowel (aeioõäüö); * „kaashäälik“ - companion phone - non-glottal phone/?semi-vowel? (hjlmnrsv); * „sulghäälik“ - shutter/closed phone - glottal consonant (ktpgdb). I also get to read, that difference between the glottal consonants, especially word initial, doesn't sound particularly contrasting for others (t vs d; k vs g; p vs b). If I grasped it correctly, this should be fairly contrasting from how this works in Polish, and many other European languages, for example.

The Nordic languages IMO are some of the most beautiful on Earth. Yes, I know that Estonia is generally not considered Nordic, but since they are in the same Finnic language family as Finnish, I'll group them in too. Personally, I feel like Icelandic, Finnish, and Estonian are some of the most beautiful languages I've ever listened to.

The song became popular at the eve of the 19th century - first in Finland, and shortly after in Estonia. Estonians elected and declared it as the official anthem after declaration of the independence of 1918 reinstated it as the official anthem after the regaining the independence. As far as I know, Finland still have not declared official anthem. There are Estonians and Finns whom would wish something else as their national anthem. On the other end of the spectrum, there are Estonians and Finns whom love the very fact that the anthems are so similar - and Estonians whom have special fondness out of nostalgia, as Finns were allowed to play "our true anthem”, when it was delegalized and punishable for the Estonians themselves... another good reason to cheer for Finns to win at various competitions. And there are USSR sympathizers, more than often not residing in neither of the countries, aren't members of neither of the nations, and many of whom origin effectively from the other end of the world: whom absolutely despise that Connection exactly because of the previous point.

There should definitely not be an official Finnish national anthem canonized by law. Instead, songs and poems are considered anthems when they have earned the status in the national cultural sphere. That can even change over time. Thr status of Vårt Land/Maamme/Our Land is quite self-evident in what goes to the text. It's the opening poem of the epic cycle "Tales of Ensign Stål", which has had the most influence in Finnish nation-building alongside Kalevala. The only complaint I have is that the composition is at best mediocre. Sorry Estonians: that applies to your version, too, the one with no refrains. The second most important Finnish anthem, to me, is "The march of Pori Regiment", the text of which is the 20th poem from the already mentioned Tales of Ensign Stål. It's the official honorary march of President of Finland and of the Defence Forces. The composition is top notch. I wouldn't mind if it were played even more than Our Land. "Finlandia" comes third in my list. It's very popular, and I like the composition. But there are issues: First of all, Sibelius never intended, or even wanted that movement of the orchestral piece to be sung. He only begrudgingly yielded in writing a vocal arrangement when asked. Moreover, the lyrics are too much of the "we have been oppressed" theme. Don't get me wrong: they are relevant in a historical context (the attempt to Russify Finland in the turn of the 19th and 20th century), but repeating this historical memory ad aeternam is not healthy for the national psyche. To me, a popular national anthem should have more positive and forward-looking (or timeless) qualities.

Finnish is my favourite language.

Many Finnic languages have vowel harmony, which means that vowels found in each word are from a single vowel group. Vowel harmony is not found in Estonian and Livonian.

Actually, statement that "Estonian is heavily Germanized” is misleading in multiple aspects. + greatest influence originate from medieval middle low-German (or the Hanseatic German, if you will) - and not the high-German (which has to do a lot with the contemporary standard German) + considering that how widespread are influences, through out the space and time, from the Germanic languages (including Scandinavian and proto-Germanic) upon Estonian, as well as that that it's actually rather hard to determine exactly from which language certain things are adopted from (several "German" influences are actually more similar to what one may find in English, Icelandic or Danish rather than from the contemporary German) - it's actually more proper to speak about "broadly Germanic” rather than "the German”. Finnish by the contrast are more aligned with the Scandinavian languages though. + actually Estonian and Finnish have about similar amount of those influences and adoptions - but quite often those do not overlap between the Estonian and Finnish. + it is observable how many aspects between the languages have departed just fairly lately, and can be attributed to the developments in orthography and literacy, which have by large developed in parallel and independently from oneanother. + Estonian does seem to make much more common usage of it's Germanic vocabulary, intuitively - which make it more "international” sounding. - on these reasons, any of the Baltic-Finnic languages should be the easiest to aquire for someone whom is bilingual with a Germanic language (Scandinavians should have the greatest bonus) and one of the Baltic-Finnic languages. They should be quite strongly advantaged over any monolingual Finnic speaker for "out of the blue” mutual intelligibility over any monolingual Finnic speaker, without any exposure to any other Finnic or Germanic language...

I am a native speaker of Finnish, who has learned Estonian, so my view today is not pure without education, but I remember the situation when I was younger. Estonian and Finnish as closely related Finnic languages have deep level similarities. For me as a Finnish speaker it looks like many of similar words are shorter in Estonian, and the situation is of course vice versa for Estonians, like *talv* in Estonian is *talvi* in Finnish and they both mean 'winter'. It is easy to detect also other systematical sound laws like long vowel in Estonian and diphtong in Finnish, for example *mees* and *mies* , both meaning 'man'. My first experience of hearing Estonian as a child was that it is very close, I recognize some words and in a very funny way I could understand it but I don't. Seeing samples of Viena Karelian or Votic, I could almost understand everything or very much, but with Estonian it was recognizing some words and maybe in some cases even understanding or at least guessing the subject of the text, but main words were missing. So, it is not mutual intelligibility, but recognizing the obvious similarities. When I started learning Estonian, it was very easy. I got so much for free, and even if there are false friends in vocabulary, they cause no trouble compared how much vocabulary and grammar we get for free. Learning some frequently used words helped reading texts, especially if they were from familiar subject. After honeymoon stage there are also difficulties with nuances of grammar, because Finnish on my case intervenes in some staff, that is not alike in Estonian. But the more I learn, the more I see the deep level connection, it is beautiful, like a historical treasure.

In Indo-European family Germanic languages like Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are very close and for example Dutch is farther from them, but still closely related. In similar fashion there are more or less similar languages in Romance and Slavic branch. With Finnish and Estonian this kind of branch is called Baltic Finnic. Conversation on very basic level is possible, as you said, like you could ask time and probably be able to understand it. But without studying further the conversation is hard, even if you could learn even during talking about the similarities of those languages. In Finnic branch Finnish and Estonian are not the closest, and Votic has features of both of them, it is a very interesting in-between Finnic language (but sadly near extinction without new learners).

When Finnish is spoken by locals it's more similar to Estonian. For example in many words like "yksi" (1) the final "i" disappears and it sounds more like "üks", we also simplify a lot of words like "kahdeksan" (8) which becomes "kaheksa/n", again, when spoken is a lot closer to Estonian.

Interestingly, Estonian sounds like Estonian spoken by an Estonian.

Эстонский-это финский без последней буквы)

And also with no vowel harmony, due to the using of vowels ä, ö, ü and õ only at the first syllable of the word.

In my opinion it’s time to let Estonia be a nice small Nordic country. Estonia very deserves to be a Nordic country, because Estonia has done a lot of work, we have many smart people, we are good at digital things, we have northern lights and we are very similar to Finland and other Nordic countries like: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. We are not similar to Latvia and Lithuania and the other Eastern Europe countries. It’s time to stop calling Estonia Eastern Europe country and Baltic country and forget all this terrible, rude and mean Soviet times. Let’s just stop this Eastern Europe and Soviet stigma thing and let Estonia turn the new page and let them be a normal small Nordic country next to Sweden and Finland!!! Estonians call themselves the Nordic country and many other people and tourists had also said that Estonia should be a Nordic country, because Estonian people are Finnic people not Balts and we are more similar to Scandinavia. Yes many people had agreed with that Estonia must belong to the Nordic group and seperate from Latvia and Lithuania. They don’t even need these countries, because Estonians communicate more with Finns and other Scandinavian countries. Estonia will be a very good partner for the other Nordic countries. We will do a very great work and we will be very strong!!! 😊🙏❤🇪🇪

Theoretically related languages, but Finn and Estonian do not get along. As a Slav, knowing one more Slavic language, I get along with every Slav.
