Kaunimad eestikeelsed sõnad

Postby Linguaphile » 2018-10-03, 0:58

Here are two different videos which each have "100 kaunist eestikeelset sõna" - 100 beautiful words in Estonian, chosen by 100 different Estonian speakers (in each video, so it's 200 total). A good way to hear 200 people pronouncing Estonian words and learn some interesting new ones!
Video #1 has the words written on-screen; video #2 could make an interesting single-word dictation exercise. :mrgreen:

So there were four that I couldn't understand in the second video. Can anyone help?
at 0:45 (between küünlaleek and mannavaht)
at 1:25 (two here; the two between heasüdamlik and sinililled. The second one is very quiet.)
at 2:02 (between õilis and perekond) (maakeel? such a short e though)

In the first video, not many of them seem to be people whose first language is Estonian, so it's probably not the best source for learning pronunciation.

Esimene kõlab nagu kõblakuu, kuid ma pole kuulnud, et ühegi kuu rahvapärane nimetus selline oleks. :lol: Teine tundub olevat kõrsik.

Yes, I noticed that as well. You probably noticed more accents/errors in the video than I did (quite a lot of the words sound okay to me), but definitely some are pronounced with obviously non-native accents (especially those like lõunasöök and kukake. And poor sõber somehow lost its e.) :mrgreen:
Anyway, I still think it's interesting, though. It is still 100 different people speaking Estonian; being able to recognize words spoken with foreign accents is useful, too, since it's also quite possible to find speakers with those same accents in real life.

Yet another case of me having no idea until you told me, and now it sounds so clear!

Kas esimine sõna ei alga t-ga? Aga ma ei tea, mis asi see tõblakuu, dõblaguu, döblagud oleks... mingi laensõna? Või jussiiv ehk möönev kõneviis: kõblaku!

Mulle tundub, et see lõppeb r-iga. Kõblakuur?

Yeah, I do hear the -r at the end. Earlier I thought it might be a really soft -d or no consonant at all, but you're right, it sounds like kuur to me now too.

By the way, interesting things about the list of words:
17% of the words are mentioned in both videos.
44% of the words in the second video are compound words.
90% of the words in the second video are nouns (including proper nouns).

*give or take a few - I may have gotten a few words wrong or miscounted! :D

Ülekäigurada. Seda ühendab kaks minu lemmiksõnad - käigu ja rada.

Ülekäigurada rajati selleks, et mees läks lõksu ja naine lööks lupsu.

Kõik minu lemmiksõnad ühes lauses. See on küll täiesti mõttetu, aga ükskõik.

Kas sulle meeldivad sõnad "käigu" ja "rada" nende tähenduste või häälikute tõttu?
Ausalt öeldes, ma ei tea, millesed sõnad on minu lemmikud. Võib-olla rahu, kodu, ilu või ilo. Mulle meeldivad nende tähendused ja -u/-o lõpphäälik. Mulle meeldivad ka sõnad, millel on kaksiktäishäälik äi (käik, täis, päike, häid jne.) ja ka need sõnad, millel on täishäälik õ või õh (õhtu, põhja, jõhvikas, jne).

My favourite word is maybe pidu. I like how it sounds. I and U make it cute, but it's not too sweet because P and D stop it from flowing. I also like the stem peo-, it's fun to say because it's like 95% lips forming the whole word and the tongue just chilling in your mouth. The meaning isn't too bad either, especially because it reminds me of the Finnish word pidot, which I associate with lots of food, people you know, family, more food, friends, food, happy atmosphere, food, summer and sunshine... :partyhat:

It also reminds me of the proverb pidot paranee kun väki vähenee, 'a party gets better when there are fewer people'. There's always someone to say it when the first ones have left the party and I found that and the proverb itself amusing.

That's a good one for a lot of reasons. You can make all kinds of fun words with it: laulupidu, tantsupidu, jaanipidu, jõulupidu, sünnipäevapidu, aastapäevapidu, uusaastapidu, aiapidu, grillipidu, saunapidu, peoroog, peoõhtu, peolaud, peomeeleolu... It's interesting that its origin is the same as the verb pidama. Then there is the fact that this means pidu has two meanings (party/festival; keeping/holding) and then peo has an additional one (palm of the hand). So it can be rather confusing (or entertaining) to encounter for the first time words like ülalpidu (maintenance or upkeep, not an "upwards party" which sounds as though it should occur in an elevator) or peotäis (only a handful, not a party-full, which to tell you the truth is a bit of a disappointment). :mrgreen: Plus there is a brightly colored bird called peoleo, which has nothing to do with any of these meanings, but seems like it should.
