Estonians: They Mock Us (And I Love It)
I had the opportunity to live in the magnificent country, Estonia, and study the complex Estonian language, like, eleven years ago. The Estonian language has 14 cases. Dude. 14 cases! Needless to say, I barely scratched the surface of the beast, and by the time I left was able to order food, read streets, tell my right hand from my left and have about a pre-school level conversation about the weather with a local. Kudos, right?
Watch this video they made about people trying to learn their language. They mock us! And rightfully so. To conjugate the Estonian language properly takes brilliance (and patience!) unknown to most Americans. They made this video, complete with western sarcasm, in English, too. Have a look. Laugh. Feel stupid.
