Kas sa oled juba lugenud I osa ka? See on vist huvitav teos (ja nähtavasti saarte murdesõnu täis), aga ma pole seda lugenud.

Prantsis wrote:söögivahe ~ half a day (interval between two meals)


Prantsis, you have inspired a whole word-study! You posted this back in June, and then today I ran across the same word in a book. At first I couldn't remember that it was here that I'd seen it, and in the context where I found it I understood it as "all afternoon" (or "all morning," since the time day was not clear); now that I have found this post again your "half a day" works in that context too. Anyway, I looked it up in my big Saagpakk dictionary and found some interesting things, so I thought I'd post here what I found in Saagpakk and EKSS about the usage of this word.
The sentences come from EKSS but the translations of the sentences (and any errors they contain) are mine.

söögivahe EKSS:aeg ühest söögiajast teise (Saagpakk: time between two meals)
Tööpäev jagunes kolmeks söögivaheks. The working day was divided into three periods/intervals/shifts (between meal breaks).
Niitis heina ühe söögivahega maha. He cut the hay in half a day. (In English we'd probably say he cut it in one morning, or in one afternoon, depending on the time of day.)
Täismehe käes on see paari söögivahe töö. For a full-grown (able-bodied) man this work would take a couple of half-days. (That doesn't come out sounding right in English; maybe "This work would take all morning and afternoon" is better?" "For an able-bodied man this work would last from breakfast to dinnertime?") :?:
Linnasõiduks kulub terve söögivahe, ligi viis tundi. To travel to the city it takes a half a day (a whole morning until lunchtime OR a whole afternoon until dinnertime), around five hours.
Läksid loogeldes kogu söögivahe, kuni kõik olid läinud. The (the snakes) went winding away all morning/afternoon, until they had all gone. (This is the sentence I came across today in a book.)

söögivahetund EKSS: pikem vahetund, kus on võimalik einestada (Saagpakk: break for lunch [at school])
Söögivahetunnil jõudsid õpilased õueski olla. The students got to be outdoors during lunch (during the lunch break/lunch hour).

söögivaheaeg EKSS:vaheaeg kahe söögikorra vahel (Saagpakk: lunch hour, coffee break; (of a baby) time between feedings)*
Söögivaheaegadel pole kasulik midagi näksida. It's not good for you to nibble/snack between meals.
Imik peab juba öisest söögivaheajast kinni. The infant already goes the night without eating. (I think that's how it would be said in English. More literally, something like "the baby already keeps to his nighttime food-break" :?: ).

*Note that where Saagpakk translates söögivaheaeg as "lunch hour, coffee break; (of a baby) time between feedings," the two meanings actually seem to be two completely different words with completely different (nearly opposite) meanings; the EKSS definition only matches (loosely) with the second one. This is the part that I thought was rather fun....
söögi|vaheaeg = lunch hour, coffee break (the break [vaheaeg] for food [söök])
söögivahe|aeg = time between meals; (of a baby) time between feedings (the time [aeg] between meals/feedings [söögivahe])

This is a bit funny because I had Saagpakk's definition in mind ("lunch hour, coffee break") when I first tried to translate the sentence Söögivaheaegadel pole kasulik midagi näksida, so I came up with the rather weird "It's not good for you to nibble/snack during food breaks." Really? No snacking during the söögi|vaheaeg? So when are you supposed to eat? LOL. But no, it's no snacking during the söögivahe|aeg between meals. This kind of thing could keep me entertained all day. :roll: Okay, but seriously. It doesn't seem like söögi|vaheaeg is all that common. Saagpakk's dictionary has some outdated terms in it as well as some that never were widely used at any time, so you really never know. Kohvipaus or söögivahetund seems more common today, but söögi|vaheaeg is sometimes used: here they get a söögi|vaheaeg at 10 am and another at noon, for example. And söögivahe|aeg is also definitely used, too, especially when talking about how long babies go between feedings.

This is interesting. Are they pronounced differently?

All I can find about it is that it's somekind of dog disease.

Taud is any kind of infectious disease. Or an outbreak of such a disease.

Salajane wrote:Are they pronounced differently?
Yes.
In söögi|vaheaeg, there is a tiny pause between söögi and vaheaeg, and vaheaeg has almost full stress on its first syllable, almost as if it were a separate word.
In söögivahe|aeg, there is a tiny pause between söögivahe and aeg, and aeg has almost full stress on its first (and in this case: only) syllable, almost as if it were a separate word.

(normally, non-initial words in compounds have a lot weaker stress on their first syllable than free-standing words)

Oh wow, thanks for the correction! I looked in some online Estonian-English dictionaries that said it meant "distemper" so I went with that without investigating further. The context gave no clues - just a fairy tale with a tark vanamees doing alliterative things to help the community: sunnib vilja võrsuma, päikese paistma, tervist tulema, valu vähenema ja taudi taganema. Yes, distemper is a dog disease.... I just figured he was helping out the neighborhood dogs as well. :D Sometimes alliteration can lead to such random things, so it didn't strike me as odd at all that he'd drive away a particular dog disease. But I was surprised that such a specific disease seemed to have such a general-sounding name. I don't know why I didn't look in EKSS or Saagpakk's dictionary like I usually do, both of which would have given me the definition you just gave. :roll: Now looking in those sources I've found suu- ja sõrataud, laustaud, rändtaud, and so on, and it makes more sense! Thanks!

Speaking of this, do you know if there is a list of such words anywhere (compounds that are composed two different ways with two meanings/pronunciations)? It would be a fun list.
(Edit: I don't mean a comprehensive list, I don't think that would be possible. But a list of some of the more common other words like this. I'm not sure what keywords to use to search for such a thing.)

Unfortunately not.

Compounds are sometimes difficult for Estonians too, especially since it's not always audible in speech whether the words in question should be written separately or as one. Things get especially confusing if there are more than two consecutive words that may form a compound.

Speaking of this, from my previous post it may have seemed that the differences I described are very apparent. They may be. But they may also be very subtle, or not apparent at all - it depends on the speaker, the tempo of the speech and so on.

Ja gripitaud, koolerataud, kalataud... although I don't know if kalataud is a disease that fish get, or a disease that people get that is called kalataud for whatever reason... the EKSS entry for it is the least helpful dictionary entry I've ever seen. (Well, I suppose that means the meaning is supposed to be obvious from the parts, which must mean it is a disease that fish get. Or maybe the dictionary writers don't know either.) :rotfl:

Hehe, yeah, in fast speech it's really easy to miss or maybe it's not there at all. But at least if I think I've just been told ˈsöögiˌvaheaegadel pole kasulik midagi süüa it's then possible to clear up the misunderstanding by enunciating slowly and carefully ˈsöögivaheˌaegadel pole kasulik midagi süüa and clear up whether or not it's reasonable to eat during a lunch break. In writing, there's no such luck!
