The Estonian language belongs to the Finno-Ugric language family and is characterized by an extremely complex case system (with 14 cases) and specific phonetics, which are reflected in writing through diacritical marks (for example, “õ”). At MacroGlobal, we ensure mathematical accuracy in translation, taking into account the specifics of Estonian legislation and digital standards for document formatting. Our linguists focus on the conciseness and clarity of formal business style, which is critical for successfully registering a business or obtaining a residence permit in Estonia.
Translation process into Estonian
The Estonian language first gained official status and became the official language of Estonia in 1918, upon the country’s independence. American researchers at the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Service Institute classify Estonian as belonging to the third group of languages—the most difficult to learn.
The language consists of 16 consonants and 9 vowels. The alphabet consists of 27 letters, 6 of which are combined with diacritical marks based on the Latin alphabet.
Estonian has the status of an official language of the EU. Today, to become an Estonian citizen, applicants must demonstrate B1-level proficiency in the language. The Estonian Language Institute in Tallinn is responsible for regulating its use.
