Tras años de realizar traducciones y mucho más tiempo de leerlas y examinarlas, la experiencia y el sentido común me han llevado a aprender varias reglas que distinguen una traducción decente de una chapuza, y la más importante es que no basta con conocer los dos idiomas cualesquiera, si no que hay que tener también grandes cantidades de estilo y dedicación. Poco a poco, he ido aprendiendo estos consejos que me hubiera gustado haber sabido cuando empecé. Puesto que este artículo está escrito pensando en la traducción de canciones, muchos ejemplos y algunas notas se refieren a ellas, pero la mayoría, si no todos, se pueden aplicar a cualquier tipo de traducción, ya sea poesía, subtítulos o textos técnicos. ¡Espero que todo esto te sirva de ayuda!
Estonian - Overview & Alphabet
Tere tulemast! You're one of the minority interested in Estonian, a beautiful Finno-Urgic language. Now, are you like my friends who stare blankly at me when I mention Estonia, and are not sure where it is or if it's even a real place? Estonia is a small country located in Europe, on the Baltic Sea. Until 1991, Estonia was part of the Soviet Union. And although it's considered a Baltic State along with Lithuania and Latvia, it actually has a lot in common with its neighbor across the sea, Finland (especially the language).

English Cognates in Estonian
To simplify things for this lesson, I'll be focusing on cross-language congnates: words that sound similar in both English and Estonian, and have the same meaning. These are fun, and quite useful... especially because I bet you thought the two languages had nothing in common.
