Sure.
Definitely not.
No.
Why would it be the weirdest it’s the closest language to ours.
It can be a bit of an uncanny valley for Finns. Like listening to another Finn while having a stroke.
so the thing about estonian, at least for me, is that no other language fucks with my brain as a native finnish-speaker quite like it. the rhythm and flow are pretty much the same, the vocab parallels finnish quite a bit, pronunciation makes perfect sense, and yet i understand nothing when i hear it. it’s the uncanny valley of languages, obviously familiar yet nothing like what i know.
Its weird as its almost correct compared to the gibberish rest of the world speaks.
Confused as to why Basque is so prominent on this list, that’s rarely encountered.
No.
This said, it is sometimes funny. Like a sentence “ma lähen linna pappi raiskama”, meaning “I’m going to the city to spend some money”, sounds to a Finn like “I’m going to a castle to r?pe a priest”.
I love the language, I even took some courses at the open university 😅🤗 I find it funny and fascinating
Nope.
its because it sounds like finnish, but gibberish
Uncanny valley type shit
Perhaps it’s weird because it’s so close yet not quite understandable.
No.
Estonian tends to sound inherently funny to the Finnish native speaker, due to being not quite Finnish, but close enough that it doesn’t quite instantly register as a foreign language either.
I’m a Finn and I think Estonian sounds just fine!
If they asked me I would answer Arabic. Its sounds so different from other languages, somehow funny too. Pretty loud also to my taste. I don’t get it if u need to shout even if u r talking to a friend right next to u. But I guess its about cultural differences also.
