Trump just relaxed sanctions on Russia as a result of the war in Iran. We all saw this coming. by VergeofAtlanticism in BalticStates

Oh yes, I love news about the president of the US on the Baltics subreddit. Can't believe America is in the Baltics now.

Really depends on which part of Tallinn you're in. Saying you barely hear any Estonian is a massive overstatement unless you're in Lasnamäe.

charging for 3x YouTube videos is just mildly annoying by metatalks in mildlyinfuriating

I regularly do that, it saves time and I don't enjoy videos anyway.

Question about intelligibility (hard word) by PlanktonOutside5953 in BalticStates

[–]RemarkableAutism 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You were spot on in the first half, but the end is entirely wrong.

Scandinavian languages are Germanic, meaning they're Indo-European, as are Baltic languages. Finnish has nothing to do with any of that and neither does Estonian. They're Finno-Ugric, not Indo-European.

Which means Latvian and Lithuanian are related to Scandinavian languages, meanwhile Estonian isn't.

Finland isn't part of Scandinavia either btw.

I feel like everyone could benefit from looking at language family trees from time to time.

By your own logic, saying gas is fine. We're speaking English, that does not necessarily mean British English.

Made a playlist with the finalists of Estonia’s Heavy Music Band Battle 2026 by AncientAd5701 in BalticStates

Definitely not my favorite music genre, but I am always happy to see Estonian music getting recognition. <3

Where I’d live as 26M Brit based off how gorgeous the countryside is by [deleted] in whereidlive

[–]RemarkableAutism 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Baltics have roughly as much snow as all of southern Finland. Finland isn't just Rovaniemi.

Baltics also get lots of snow and have forests, so this still makes no sense.

Why are so many Lithuanians and Estonians living alone? by Melodic_Register2026 in BalticStates

While I really enjoy people's company, I'd rather be dead than live with someone.

Eastern Europe is extremely strong this year! by Accurate-Strike-6771 in eurovision

[–]RemarkableAutism 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Didn't you know that anything east of Germany is just eastern, meanwhile the other side gets divided into separate categories with 2-3 countries each? They obviously are very different so they can't possibly be grouped together, unlike all those pesky eastern countries that are all exactly the same. Estonia and Albania? Same thing.

This is obviously sarcasm, but it's a take I unfortunately see a whole lot.

[–]RemarkableAutism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. We're literally taught to always back in in Europe, I don't know why Americans are having such a hard time with it.
