Dear Finns, how much do you understand this Estonian reconstruction of Late Proto-Finnic?

  1. Would have been nice to have Finnish subtitles as well. I think if I listened to it multiple times and really tried hard, I could understand quite a bit.

  2. Some words were perhaps more familiar and you get meanings out of the context but otherwise I don’t think I understood it any better than the Estonian subtitles.

  3. I understood most of it, but I think the pronunciation was a bit too modern-ish Estonian. I don’t speak Estonian, but I undestand some Karelian and Izhorian language (inkeroisen kieltä/isurin keelt) which are very close to Finnish.

    Anyways, thanks for this 🙏
