Is Estonian difficult to learn? Reili Argus, a professor of Estonian at the TU Institute of Estonian Language and Culture says mastering a language does not dep...end on how difficult or complicated a language is deemed to be. Children are able to master the most complicated grammar at an early age and with little to no effort. It turns out that the richer the grammar is, the earlier children grasp it. We often hear that Estonian is a complicated language and it is very difficult to learn as a foreign language. We mostly get the reasoning that it is difficult due to the 14 abstract cases. For language learners the number of cases has become a scare device. Actually, the number of cases does not determine whether a language is more or less difficult to learn. Languages have different natures and in every language there are easier and more difficult areas. So there is no reason to think that the rather blurry system and usage of English prepositions is simpler than that of Estonian abstract cases. The difference lies only in the placement of the language elements: In one situation (English) we use a separate word before the noun (e.g. to the party), while in the other (Estonian) we change the inflections (e.g. peo-le).

ESTIVAL {adjective} Defunition: of or relating to the summer Estival and festival look so much alike that you might think they're very closely related, but that isn't the case. Estival traces back to aestas, which is the Latin word for "summer" (and which also gave us estivate, a verb for spending the summer in a torpid statea sort of hot-weather equivalent of hibernating). Festival also comes from Latin, but it has a different and unrelated root. It derives from festivus, a... term that means "festive" or "merry." Festivus is also the ancestor of festive and festivity as well as the much rarer festivous (which also means "festive") and infestive ("not merry, mirthless"). Examples: "Horror stories are far more estival than autumnal. Before I ever read [Stephen] King, I learned to love being scared at summer camp, where the older kids would tell us ghost stories by campfire and flashlight. Horror ripens when the pole is tilted toward the sunwhen school is out, children are unsupervised, heat makes people crazy, unexplored woods begin to beckon See more
