The Finnic (Fennic), or more precisely Balto-Finnic languages, constitute a branch of the Uralic

language family spoken around the Baltic Sea by the Baltic Finnic peoples.

There are around 7 million speakers who live mainly in Finland and Estonia.

Traditionally, eight Finnic languages have been recognized.

The major modern representatives of the family are Finnish and Estonian, the official languages of their respective nation-states.

If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Estonian is so pleasing to the ear. I absolutely love hearing it.
Had friends and managed to find a job there! I really cherish those memories :)

As a native finn it’s actually so heartwarming to see people like our language! ❤️

When I was a child I visited Estonia (I am finnish btw). I went to a shop and was so surprised when the cashier said the total and I could understand. The child me thought that she knew I was from Finland so that is why she spoke finnish to me. Later I learned that the numbers just sound exactly the same so she did speak estonian not finnish haha!

Finnish is still my favorite language. I don't speak it but its so pretty.

0:00 As a native Finnish-speaker, I can confirm that you nailed the pronunciation of ”Hyvää päivää!” 👍🏻.

Finnish and Estonian are two of my favourite languages. They are both so beautiful and flowing. The rolled area and the rhythm of the double consonants and vowels. Much love from your distant Hungarian cousins!

[camilabernardes]

Both languages ​​are so beautiful! ❤️🇪🇪🇫🇮

[karabakhazerbaijan]

1:12 i love the Finnish phrase "Hyvää päivää!" 🇫🇮

For languages that have been apart for a thousand years, one would expect intelligibility to be much lower.

[ingvardruid]

Very nice comparison! Next languages can be Tatar vs Bashkir, Tatar vs Kazakh, Mongol vs Buryat, Korean vs Japanese

[henriikkak]

Terve is also a Finnish word for hello. It literally means health, as in, good health to you.

Tere has a false friend in Finnish.

When an Estonian says good afternoon, a Finnish person hears "health on top of lunches!"

It makes sense but it's a bit of a riddle.

The Nordic languages IMO are some of the most beautiful on Earth. Yes, I know that Estonia is generally not considered Nordic, but since they are in the same Finnic language family as Finnish, I'll group them in too. Personally, I feel like Icelandic, Finnish, and Estonian are some of the most beautiful languages I've ever listened to.

Ma õpin eesti keelt. On ilus ja ta mulle väga meeldib.

[franciscoovarela]

Bro how does Andy pronounce every single language perfectly in the intros

[SqueezePl]

As a Pole I must say that there is something sexy about Finnish and Estonian languages. They sound intriguing - pronounciation is so mmm...

[goukko]

Kullanvärinen can also be kultainen, hopeanvärinen = hopeinen. Estonian numbers are closer to spoken finnish. yks, kaks, kol, nel, viis, kuus, seitsemä, kaheksa, yheksä, kymmene. If you are counting.

My first language was German but my grandmother was Estonian. I love hearing her language.💖 She spoke some Finnish as well; they’re beautiful.
