I see Estonia as Nordic. I live in Norway, I've visited Estonia, and it is just gorgeous. The people are western like us, they have strong ties with Finland and more. The only thing missing is the Nordic cross on their flag.

[HertNiks]

No such thing as 45 min ferry from Finland to Estonia. The fastest you can do is 2h.

In 1989 my parents were involved in the Balti kett (or Baltic Chain) where approximately two million people joined their hands to form a human chain spanning 675.5 kilometres (419.7 mi) across the three Baltic states

I live in Estonia. Estonia is beautiful.

Many scholars believe that some of the Nordic/Scandinavian origin myths have to do with the meteorites that hit Saaremaa island in Estonian because they include the sun falling, darkness, and a great fire. Kaali crater lake is still considered a sacred site (hiis) to the Estonians.

I think the Nordic countries accept the fact that Estonia has a Nordic past (it was once part of Sweden and Denmark) but also note was heavily influenced by other countries outside of them. If anything, Estonia and Finland should have their own social/cultural/ethnic region together, as they're more alike than say Norway is to Finland, etc. The other Baltic states are mostly ethnically Baltic and speak a Baltic language, whereas Estonia is not ethnically Baltic or speak a Baltic language. They're a Finnic people.

I highly recommend reading up on Saaremaa though. Saaremaa is just absolutely gorgeous and has a pretty amazing history. It's on my bucket list - I want to spend a couple of weeks just living on the island (I'm going to making more than one trip to Estonia, that's for sure lol).

Interesting fact: as Estonia is also part of NATO, other NATO planes do occasionally training here. In the summer Spanish fighter jet "lost" a misile during excercise in Southern Estonia. Missile was never found and it is a miracle that no one got hit as there are other fighter jets in the sky not to mention several passenger airplanes.

You should react to, ,why are estonians so smart'' it is a video created by our ministery of education explaining our school system. It is in english so you can understand it

[ellenkastan]

while swinging upside down your feet are fixed to the swing. About the Baltic vs Nordic topic, we know that we are Baltic but deep inside we want to be Nordic.

[kerli_loomets]

The reason we feel deep inside that we should be nordic because we have such good connection with Finland. Like the video said, Finland is like our big brother who we look up to 😊 I know that Estonia is considered Baltic but in my heart i would love Estonia to be nordic

Both of my parents and all 4 of my grandparents took part in the Singing Revolution (The Singing Revolution is a commonly used name for events between 1987 and 1991 that led to the restoration of the independence of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania from the Soviet Union). My mother has told me about the Baltic Way / Baltic Chain ( also Chain of Freedom; Estonian: Balti
kett; Latvian: Baltijas ceļš; Lithuanian: Baltijos kelias; Russian: Балтийский путь).

EDIT: I hope I didn't make any mistakes in the (...) spots.

[latvian_potato]

Why is estonia so small i think estonia is the only place in the world that is more beautiful than latvia

[Biksuu]

I’m Estonian and it was funny to watch, because you reacted so surprised sometimes😂😂

[sandravimberg]

One of the key events that helped to get our independence was the Baltic Chain where lithuanians, latvians and estonians came together and formed a human hand holding chain across the three countries to show we want freedom. My dad stood in the chain with others, he said it was an extraordinary experience and they sang the most beautiful and freeing songs.

Hey Brian. I was still a kid, about 7 years old, at the time, but i was out there when we (the baltic countries) formed the "baltic chain" or "the baltic way" when hundreds of thousands of people joined hands and stood in a human chain spanning the baltic countries as a political protest to gain our freedom. Shortly after that we gained our independence. I remember little of it, except driving on a bus with my sister and mom, passing people who stood by the road hand in hand, miles and miles. We linked up near the capital city, a few miles out. It was pretty awe inspiring for a child, even though i didn't really understand what was going on or why.

[circekus]

The Nordic thing is simple. When people hear Nordic they will rather think of countries like Sweden and Finland and others, but when (personally has happened to me) you say Baltic or Eastern, people associate it with Russia. You should take a look at the country balls video about Estonian history :)

[lopo]

As Estonian capital is named by Danish country some half a century ago and Vikings were invincible for centuries in the Baltic Sea we have more common with Nordic then we have with Slavic or Baltic

[screamingbrick]

when you said that you like blood sausage, i smashed like

[RameXRacing]

I actually drove the ice-road last winter :) thou they did not open the long one only short one as winter was not cold enough. And also had the luxury to be part of Baltic way (still remember that despite i was only 8 years old)
