I’m constantly hunting for words. I would describe the process like this: every day I go into the woods carrying a basket. I find words all around: on the trees, in the bushes, on the ground (in reality: on the street, during conversations, while I read). I gather as many as possible. But it’s never enough. -Jhumpa Lahiri

I used to eat this one as a kid!
My friend's mother taught us it's edible, and it felt so exciting to taste something that grew wild by the roadside... Nice to learn its name in Estonian (and English too. And in Finnish because I had forgotten what it's called!)Linguaphile wrote:pajulind wagtail; siskin
Finnish also has pajulintu, but it's a false friend becase it means willow warbler or salulind/salu-lehelind/koobalind.
Linguaphile wrote:ristsed christening, baptism, inauguration
Do you know its etymology? It sounds a bit like Finnish ristiäiset (same meaning) so I wonder if it was borrowed.
Linguaphile wrote:varavana prematurely aged

Linguaphile wrote:hiljaku (dialect variation of hiljuti) recently, lately
Finnish has both hiljakkoin and hiljattain (same meaning). It's always so cool to find these parallels!
Linguaphile wrote:hundisilm small lamp, small lantern
This reminded me of the reflector bicycles have on the back, which is colloquially known as kissansilmä (cat's eye) in Finland.

Borrowed from Slavic and/or Germanic, or at least the root was: rist(i) from Old East Slavic крьстъ and Old High German Krist "cross", so also related to Greek Χριστός and English Christ. And then it's plural because it's a ceremony like Estonian and Finnish wedding(s) and funeral(s); singular would be ristne, but isn't really used, you can't have just one ristne. (In fact I had to hunt around a bit to even confirm that the singular is ristne and not *ristse or whatever because some dictionaries don't even list the singular form.)
In Estonian it has some synonyms: ristjatsed*, varrud. Apparently varrud has a cognate in Finnish, which ETY calls varpahaiset "'titevarbad, liigud lapse sünni puhul" and Wiktionary calls varpajaiset and varpaiset "a party arranged by the father of a newborn child to his male friends soon after the birth." (I'm curious about the three spellings there. Regionalisms? Typos?)
*I don't know the reasoning behind the suffixes that makes up -jatsed or what the singular form is (ristjats? ristjatne? ristjatse?), but they're used in another word just the same way: istjatsed, a sort of sewing bee with singing and dancing, where the root comes from "istuma" (to sit) or "iste" (seat). The girls would bring seats out to the barn and sit to do sewing and crafts.
