I love the shots of the guy passed out beside the empty bottle of vodka.

I think he had too many of those sour pickles! So, what was with the dancing girl hugging the flowers?

I'll second that and add, she can hug my garden any time.

I think the girl represents the angst that the Estonians have shown when they lost at the world's pickle fair. Perhaps, an allegory, no simile, no metaphor, yes metaphor for passing out in the grass...yeah that's it

PS I kinda like the running girl before the passed out guy with vodka bottle

Wow, I didn't realize Estonian was sooooooooooo close to Finnish.

Anyone been to that piping festival?

That might be another way of saying, HOW ON EARTH did you find that video?

And Hungarian... these languages belong to Finno-Ugric, a branch of the Uralic language family.

Well, yeah, I know that, but I didn't realize spoken Estonian was intelligible from a Finnish-speaker's perspective.

The connections between Finnish-Estonian + Hungarian + Turkish aren't close enough for them to be mutually intelligible. I could get some of what the Estonian guy said, is all I'm saying.

Sorry, didn't mean to irritate you.

Turkish isn't related to Finno-Ugric language at all. It's Altaic.

I'm not annoyed.

Up until very recently Turkish was classified as a Finno-Ugric language. Now, people think that the Ural-Altaic languages and Finno-Ugrics share a common ancestor, and Turkish has been shifted into Ural-Altaic.

But if you google "Turkish Finno-Ugric" you'll find sources which show that most people think Turkish and Finnish (and Hungarian) are related.

True enough. I once had a Korean friend in graduate school who took Turkish and found it incredibly easy. He told me that, despite differences on the surface level, it seems like the undercurrent of both languages was the same. Some still do believe that a progenitor Asian supergroup gave rise to many of these languages in question. Cheers!
