Instead of prepositions Estonian has suffixes. Let's use two examples: töötama (to work) and teretama (to greet). The -ma suffix is used sort of as a nominative case. To make the other forms of these words, remove the suffix -ma and substitute it with a suffix that you wish to use.<br />(I) Mina töötan, mina teretan (suffix -n)<br />(You) Sina töötad, sina teretad (suffix -d)<br />(He/she) Tema töötab, tema teretab (suffix -b; Estonian has no genders)<br />(We) Meie töötame, meie teretame (suffix -me)<br />(You) Teie töötate, teie teretate (suffix -te)<br />(Them) Nemad töötavad, nemad teretavad (suffix -vad)<br />In these cases I have only brought out the present cases. There are also past cases, such as Past Simple (I worked = töötasin, I greeted = teretasin), Present Perfect (I have worked = ma olen töötanud; I have greeted = ma olen teretanud) and Past Perfect (I had worked = ma olin töötanud; I had greeted = ma olin teretanud). Estonian has no actual tense for Future, instead Present forms are used to denote events that are going to happen by implying either by specifying the time of the event or by an extra verb 'hakkama', which works in a way similar to the German 'werden' (for the future, not passive)<br />As far as pronouns go, there are very few. I = 'mina' or 'ma' for short; You = 'sina'/'sa'; He/she = 'tema'/'ta'; We = 'meie'/'me'; You = 'teie'/'te'; They = 'nemad'/'nad', It = 'see'. Often only the short form is used. For the formal You ('Sie' in German) we use 'Teie'/'Te' and use the same conjugation as if it were 'teie'/'te'.<br />This is the simple bit. There are many exceptions, even common ones (To eat =sööma => söön, sööd, sööb, sööme, sööte, söövad). And the grammar is complicated when you want to use Passive voice ('töötatakse', 'tervitatakse') or verb derivatives (greetable, acceptable = 'tervitatav') but that can be explained at a later date.<br />to run = jooksma<br />If the word 'stem' ends with a consonant (jooks -ma), generally an additional vowel is added.<br />ma jooksen, sa jooksed, ta jookseb, me jookseme, te jooksete, nad jooksevad<br /><br />Interesting fact: the 'stem' is also the Imperative voice. Tööta! (Work!); Jookse! (Run!); Söö! (Eat!)IDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605494174033336769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234710372488260707.post-48836560618100081852014-01-06T13:34:05.126-08:002014-01-06T13:34:05.126-08:00In estonian is there a general way of conjugating ...In estonian is there a general way of conjugating verbs? I've been looking for a guide on how to do this (he/she runs, we run, they run, ect), but haven't been able to find this anywhere. It'd be a really helpful if you took the time to put something like that together and maybe teach some simple vocabulary such as some pronouns (he, she, it, they, we, ect.). Thanks! Your videos and blogs have been really helpful so far!Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342391197459667001noreply@blogger.com
