Can Finnish and Estonian speakers understand each other?

Imagine an Estonian and a Finn trapped in a sauna. Would they be able to communicate to find a way out? 🤭 Mutual intelligibility within the Finno-Ugric language family is generally limited due to the significant linguistic differences between languages. We created this language challenge to give you a chance to see for yourself how well Finnish and Estonian speakers can understand each other based on similarities between those two languages. If you’re a speaker of a Finno-Ugric language do volunteer in for the future videos so we can run more experiments like that. 🤓 📝 You can sign up via following volunteer form→ The Finno-Ugric language family is a branch of the larger Uralic language family, which includes languages spoken primarily in Finland, Estonia, Hungary, and regions of Russia. This family consists of two main branches: Finno-Permic and Ugric. Some well-known languages in this family include Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian, as well as various minority languages such as Karelian, Udmurt, and Khanty. 🤗 Big thanks to 🇪🇪 Kristofer and 🇫🇮 Antti for participating in the video. 🇫🇮 You can learn Finnish with Antti here: 🏋️‍♀️ Support my Work: My name is Norbert Wierzbicki and I am the creator of @Ecolinguist channel.
