And when I'm angry with my armas mees, I invent all kind of words for him, too :)<BR/><BR/>Andrus Kivirähk and Ivan Orav is an excellent reeding. You must read every book twice, at least, because you may have missed something.. The soviets showed Ivan Orav a vacuum cleaner - it was an awful machine, ugly and noisy. Orav said - huh, Päts had a REAL vacuum cleaner, it was small and covered with silver fur and as light as a cotton ball.. In the end of the story the soviet vacuum cleaner flew out of the window and was called "sputnik". :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770778469684803169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-53076547131705048282008-04-26T16:37:00.000+03:002008-04-26T16:37:00.000+03:00... and we know snake's words.

It is supposed to be mysterious like the fog that raises from the bogs. This is how the fairires and forest spirits spoke. Thats how deep it goes. Christian efforts to represent all that bounty and imagination in a written from always fell short. Remember that. To really know estonian one must be born estonian. This is the only way to hear and understand what the forests and meadows whisper to you ... We are all pagans deep inside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-79093054082637222702008-04-26T15:36:00.000+03:002008-04-26T15:36:00.000+03:00In Estonian there are tons of words I never manage...In Estonian there are tons of words I never manage to find in the dictionary. Sometimes I can't guess the nimetav form, sometimes compound words are not included in the dictionary. This year I started learning Polish and guess what? I can easily find any word.Juan Manuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997278614759180471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-75689536807682428482008-04-25T20:24:00.000+03:002008-04-25T20:24:00.000+03:00In Estonian it's easy to just make up words that d...In Estonian it's easy to just make up words that don't sound convoluted.margushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512974087161768695noreply@blogger.com
