ikaldus crop failure, famine
ikalduma to fail (of crops)
merevetikas seaweed
müksama to bump, to nudge
rula skateboard
säherdune such (= niisugune, seesugune, säärane, etc.)
takistama to hinder, to impede
ulu shelter, sheltering roof, sheltered area*
ulualune shelter, refuge, housing
ülekäigurada pedestrian crossing

*Saagpakk's dictionary also defines ulu with the amusing combination of "penthouse, shed." Amusing to me because I imagine a penthouse being luxurious, spacious and clean while I imagine as shed as small, filled with dirty tools for yardwork and covered in spider webs. Not two words I expect to be listed as if they could be synonyms. But the commonality is that both are immediately underneath (and protected by) the shelter of a roof with no other rooms above.

Is there a verb (keskustelema or something) or is it only used as a noun?

What is the difference between keskust(e)lema and vestlema?

Prantsis

Re: Sõnad, mida hiljuti õppisid

Postby Prantsis » 2018-12-22, 16:00

There's at least a difference of frequency. Keskustelu is a lot rarer than vestlus, and keskust(e)lema seems to never be used.

These are some of those words that were coined by Johannes Aavik during the language reform in the early 1900s, based on the model of the Finnish word keskustella. But the verbs don't seem to have caught on. It seems that even other language reformers such as Johannes Veski were specifically opposed to the creation of these words given that the root (kesk, keskus) doesn't normally have this meaning in Estonian.
Nowadays most forms of the two verbs (keskustlema and keskustelema) get only a dozen or so google hits, many of them from archives from the first half of the 20th century. Keskustelu seems to be used quite a bit more than the verbs (although it's harder to count google hits for it, because many of them are in Finnish).
Paul Saagpakk's dictionary lists all of them (keskustelu, keskustlema, and keskustelema), plus keskustlus (as a synonym for keskustelu). But Saagpakk lists almost all of the language-reform words whether they are in actual use or not. (Saagpakk left Estonia in the 1940's and from what I understand, at the time he completed the dictionary in the early 80's, he had no way of knowing which words were still in use in Estonia and which were not.) How's this for rare: although Saagpakk lists it, keskustlus gets only seven Google hits, one of which is another dictionary from 1945. All of the others are from the first half of the 1940's as well. It does not appear at all in any of the modern dictionaries (EKSS, ŌS, etc).

I had never thought it comes from the word keskus. :hmm: Kinda makes sense, though.

Thank you for your answers! :)
