She's obviously brainy and pretty.
Can we assume that she also has a tolerable command of the Estonian language?

Dear wondering,

What is YOUR definition of tolerable, and why does it matter so much?
Anything, except an Estonian!13 Jan 2016 08:15
Some people, with Estonian roots, don't believe that fluency in the language has any importance. To them, I must ask, "What do you call an Estonian who can't speak Estonian?"
Curious George13 Jan 2016 11:04
I call them Estonian.

what are you some sort of "esto-nazi"?

An Estonian who can't speak Estonian - and says it doesn't matter - can be called many things: (1) a pretender (2) a fake (3) Curious George, perhaps (4) and etc.

CTC,

IMHO your attitude could be part of the problem of apathy within a once vibrant community. Your "nationalistic" attitude hence me titling you an "esto nazi" click the heels, salute and say good night.

Curious or crazy?15 Jan 2016 07:46
I love Estonia and its culture. I visit often. I read the Estonian newspaper. I'm active in our Estonian society.
Curious George thinks that makes me an Estonian Nazi.
I think George is not curious, not Estonian and not entirely sane.

I've been to the isamaa, read&speak the emakeel, go to and support Esto functions. Does that make me an Estonian .... nope it's what's in heart
