After I read your replies to my 'random thought' topic I felt that we could use a blog on this forum. So that everybody could let off steam or share something beautiful!
Ive noticed that most of you want to learn Estonian so I thought of making you a little tutorial. Later i could actually record so that you would hear the pronounciation as well!

Tere - Hello
Tsau - Hi
Kuidas läheb? - How are you?
Hästi - Well (thats what u usually reply when somebody asks how r u)
Kui vana sa oled? - How old are you?
Minu nimi on.. - My name is..
Ma armastan sind - I love You
Armastus - Love
Karukalli - Bearhug
Ma armastan Kerlit - I love Kerli
Kuulaps - Moonchild
Haldjas - Fairy
Ingel - Angel
Ausus - Integrity
Ühtsus - Unity

This is really helpful ! ^.^
-posts some to facebook-

that's awesome!

thanks mimi xD

U all probably know my problems with college..
anyway, as ive said before - im over it. ive got the fire in my belly and im so gonna prove everybody wrong.

Also.. my new art project is going to be SO AWESOME
Last time i did a really dark and profound one.. and this time im just having fun with it
so what im trying to say.. maybe sometimes when you take life too seriously you end up flat on ur ass.. have fun!

I so hate when people promise u something and then they're like.. oh sorry, can't.

WHY does a promise mean so little nowadays?

Because a lot of people lack the integrity to keep their promises.

because the world is sick and wrong. Promise for humans is just a word. They don't want to know the real meaning and aren't loyal...I think

because some of them think
"She won't mind she is nice"
"She's as cold as ice"

and some just don't understand how much that promise meant to you, they think it was all just a joke :/

Right.. so there are couple of days left for the Kerli card competition honestly.. im so excited to tell u what the prizes are.. but it is something that is going to make u regret if u didn't participate!!

Anyway.. what's new? I haven't been here properly for couple of days.. My sister came home from Egypt after a year & ive been spending time with her.. god how i missed her.
i think the hardest thing while being away is missing my sister. the whole family as well of course, but me and my sis have such a special bond she's my soulmate.

I haven't got much left to say.. My workout is tomorrow at 8 am so i have to go to sleep soon.. god how my body aches but I AM SO LOVING IT. i think im a bit obsessive with working out :S .. but its all under control!

ANYWAY. 6 more days and the competition is closed. so excited!

PS. LOVE U ALL SO MUCH

ps2 my english is so broken at the minute.. geez.. im in estonia for a month and i can feel how my ability to speak english is fading lol

#4 right so as i promised, i made a little recordin how to pronounce the stuff ive written in the first entry.

Mimi you are amazing!!!! Thank you very much. This is wonderful

it is. there is just too much of everything. and i doubt u can actually be fluent in it if its not ur mother tongue. even the russians who have lived here for 50 years cant speak it perfectly..
but then again. i dont speak perfect estonian either

For me even English is so hard because my language ma terrible grammar,many varieties and english is strange for me This is about language: http://claritaslux.com/blog/the-hardest-language-to-learn/

Aww thanks for making this Mimi! I've always loved Estonian and wanted to learn it, it's similar to Finnish just softer and prettier.

Your accent is so cute! Thanks for the clip (:

on my mother's side is polish :] So maybe it can give me an advantage if I choose to learn Polish. If learning Estonian fails to me then I can turn to German because it is quick and easy

heh, Australians have quite a bit of slang

like below
English:
"Throw another shrimp on the Barbecue!"
Aussie slang:
"Throw another Prawn on the barbie!"

These are quite simple phrases :]

Thanks so much for recording that, Mimi ^^ I've found it so helpful! I have a request though, how do you say, "I am a..." in Estonian? I want to be able to say "I am a Moon Child"

oki will do it tomorrow

Thankyouuu!

Thankyou so much ^^ Kuulaps is one of my favourite words so far. I love the Estonian language, it flows so beautifully.

well im being extra extra slow so that u could repeat after me usually i speak really fast

Mimi, thank you SO much! But how do you spell The "I am a" for "I am a Moonchild?"

i did it in the last recording.

its 'ma olen'

Oh. I'm out of it today. Thank you!

lol
no problemo!

I love the Estonian lessons Thank you for doing this Mimi. Estonian is so different from anything I've heard before, it's really cool to hear it.

In the next lesson you do could you pronounce Kerli's last name? I've wondered for a while how you say it.

well. she never uses her last name and doesn't like it, but i guess i can do it quickly.
i wanna get more material though because otherwise there's gonna be tons of recordings.. is there anything specific u all would like to know??

Monster? I have a friend who's a Lady Gaga fan so I'd like to say "I am a moonchild, you are a monster."

hahaha okay

Hey mimi, sorry for disturbing you xD
if i'm not mistaking, you know Kerli personally, right?
could you please tell us how you met?
I mean did you know each other since you were little or did you meet Kerli after she moved to US?
tell us pleeeeeaaaaase

okay Gretta

So, I was asked to write about how I met Kerli.

Well .. to be honest, I started just like you. When I was 9, 10 there was this show called Fizz Superstar. I hadn't seen all of the episodes but I kept hearing people talk about this Kerli who performed.. Finally I saw her and I immediately fell in love with her. When the finals were.. I think I voted so many times that my dad got a heart attack when he saw the bills.

Anyway, as a very NEW fan, of course I wanted to get to know her better.. But there wasn't anything up on the net except this tiny little description she wrote of herself. Somehow I found out her 'official' fan mail address so I started writing to her.

Soon enough she knew my name and knew who i was and we just sent emails to each other.
A little while longer I started a fansite called crazykerli .. altogether I have run 4 fansites.

ANYWAY. after she went to live in Sweden we didn't meet. Only once or twice. But after she moved to the US - summer came and I was living my normal life and went to work out and suddenly Kerli looks at me and we're both like 'what are you doing here????' lol since we both were going to the same place to work out we stared ringing each other to go to the same sessions.
after the summer months she moved back to the states.
We still email and skype but I haven't seen her since last summer.

The weird thing is.. even though we're 'sisters', i still get very shy around her lol except once when we met on town and she came to hug me & i acted super cool and introduced her to my sister lol

anyway.. a pretty boring story.. there are some funny ones as well.. but next time

aaaaa this is amazing

wooooooow, its SO COOL!!!

Hahaha how great is that? xD Awesome!

That's so cool, you lucky girl!

wow.. that's really cool; lucky you!!! ^^ but I'm happy that you've met her.. you're nice enough to share things about her with us XDD - and make awesome fansites like this one! <33

hahah
well.. u know.. knowing her in real life has made me love her even more. and i just simply can't express it better than to make a site like this.

omg I bet <333
