How to recognise Estonia from the road
Drives on the right
Forest, bog and sea. Estonian is closer to Finnish than to its Baltic neighbours.
What to look for
1
The letter õ
Estonian uses õ, alongside ä, ö and ü.
2
Double letters
Like Finnish, words are full of doubled letters, such as aa, ee and kk.
3
Forest and coast
Low, flat forest and bog cover much of the land, with a long, rocky coastline.
