Haben Sie irgendwelche Stereotypen oder Dinge, die Sie mit Estland assoziieren? Meiner Meinung nach schreiben die Letten zum Beispiel an alles ein „s“ (und das stimmt). Im Allgemeinen recht freundliche Leute. Und Bernstein und obwohl es nicht auf der Flagge steht – die Farbe Gelb. Und Schatz (deine Sprache klingt einfach wie Honig).

From the distance our languages tend to sound a bit similar due to Livonian language influence (stressed syllables etc). Maybe that is also one of reasons which makes listening (and understanding) to Lithuanian more difficult than reading.
Also apparently Latvians are able to read and pronounce Estonian words in a phonetically correct manner.
Before we were the honourable 3rd place holder in the Baltic hierarchy we had a joke that you guys were slow. Like those dad anecdotes that no one found funny. Slow on the road. Slow while walking. Slow while talking etc.
Nowadays not so much. If anything you guys are the standard we compare our politicians etc. to
Stereotypical half jokes from someone living on the border:
– Estonians are physically slow
– bad (and slow) drivers
– many like the latvian word „saldējums“= ice cream, for some reason
– masses coming to the latvian side to buy hefty amounts of cheaper alcohol
– funky accent when speaking Russian
– funny to say and hear aitäh, as it means „a sheep“ in latvian
– also wealthier than us here 🙂
There was this funny skit back in early 2000s: the famous scene from Matrix, where Neo is dodging the agent’s bullets. As the bullets are slow-mo passing Neo, he sees written on the side of the bullets- ‚Made in Estonia‘. Thats a reference to Estonians being slow/ phlegmatic according to Latvians.
As for language – that Estonians do not differentiate p/b, t/d and k/g.
