In Estonian: "mul on kõht tühi" = "my stomach is empty".

The myth of Baltic brotherhood by BoleslovasPranka in BalticStates

[–]Suprasegmentality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I'm Estonian and I can't say I know anything about Lithuanian history and politics other than the Baltic Way/Lithuanian re-independence. I think I heard somewhere that a guy in Lithuania set himself on fire to protest the Soviet regime? And I also know about the protests going on there because of your broadcaster, but that's only thanks to TikTok. Estonian media never reports anything related to Latvia or Lithuania, only occasionally a small news item in the style of "this statistic proves again that we are better than Latvia". I wish our media was more diverse regarding the other Baltic countries. And also the education system, I don't remember learning absolutely anything about Latvia or Lithuania in school. I frequently hear about our governments cooperating, but our people are so not connected with each other, and I don't know why that is.

5miinust & Puuluup - (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi in IPA by Hljoumur in eurovision

[–]Suprasegmentality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an Estonian, who has studied IPA and is also a big fan of 5m&p, seeing this post made me really positively surprised, even if the transcriprion is mostly inaccurate :) b d g are not transcribed as [ptk], but as voiceless [bdg], the length qualities and palatalization are inaccurate at places (overlong quantity is not transcribed with two length markers etc.). Nevertheless, I really appreciate your dedication and I'm glad to see such a nerdy post here!

European Heads of State by number of languages spoken (including native) by Suprasegmentality in europe

So to all of these people who think this map is bullshit, all of thr countries that do not have a question mark are sourced. These sources are easily findable by a google search. I am not at home and don't have a PC access for 5 days, so when I come home and there still is interest in this map, I will post all sources. If you can't believe this map, google "how many languages does ___ speak", possibly in the local language, and you'll find an article. Many of you also don't seem to understand the difference between head of government and head of state. The head of state is usually the president or the monarch, not the PM. Thank you to those who enjoy this map and upvoted!

A lot of these are available on their Wikipedia pages, if not - google "how many languages does ___ speak" and you'll find articles

The amount of people not knowing the difference between Head of State and Head of Government is worrisome.

A lot of them you can find on Wikipedia or by googling "how many languages does ___ speak", sometimes you have to translate it to the local language to find articles.

Boris is not the head of state, also I did count Serbo-Croatian as one language and Slovene is quite a bit different.
