Karel Polt, an Estonian currently living in the USA has recently launched a fundraising campaign to publish his new book Literally Estonian. The 132 page hardcover book is a quirky way to learn about Estonian customs, traditions, beliefs, and word meanings. The book features a lot of wordplay using humour and contains many fun facts. In total there are over 400 Estonian words, phrases and sayings that are explained for a native English speaker.
Fun fact: To an Estonian, animals and birds are considered two different classes of living things. Animals rule the land and birds rule the sky. If you call a bird an animal to an Estonian, they will be confused.
