It is closely related to Finnish (and to the almost extinct languages Livonian, Vepsian and Votic) and more distantly related to Hungarian. To the uninitiated reader, then, Estonian will at first seem very baffling, and even quite daunting, with few if any features recognizable to the English speaker. But it is not a particularly complex language to learn once one becomes familiar with a few grammatical rules and its coherent and regular processes of word and sentence formation. It is written in the Roman alphabet, and its spelling system is very consistent and regular. Up to now there has been no comprehensive and widely available textbook of the Estonian language in English, and this book is an attempt to make up for that absence. It is designed both as a selftutor and for use in classes. Although all points of pronunciation, grammar and syntax are explained as simply and plainly as possible, it should also satisfy the student of linguistics in that it attempts to be thorough and accurate as well. CDs accompany this book to help you to get acquainted with the sound of the language and to interact with it. The subject matter covered in the lessons aims to give as broad a reflection as possible of modern Estonian life, whatever one’s motives for learning the language may be. Estonian is the native language of about one million people living in the Republic of Estonia, situated on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland at the eastern end of the Baltic Sea. It is also spoken by another hundred thousand people of Estonian birth or descent living in Sweden, Germany, the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia and several other countries. The country has had a turbulent and fascinating history, largely owing to its sensitive strategic position. To its north lies Finland, to the west, Sweden, to the south, Latvia and to the east, Russia. The proximity of all these countries is reflected in varying degrees in the 5/30/08, 16:44 Introduction Estonian language. Another profound cultural and linguistic influence on the language has been exercised by the Baltic-German nobility who lived in what was then Livonia (present-day Estonia and Latvia) from the times of the Teutonic Knights or ‘Brethren of the Sword’, who brought Christianity to the region in the twelfth century. German cultural influence on the Estonian language is evident not only in the rich vein of vocabulary relating to church and state administration and everyday cultural artefacts, but even in the word order. The next stratum of cultural influence laid down on the language came from Sweden, which administered Livonia for over two hundred years, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Estonia’s neighbour Finland was under Swedish rule for a much longer period, and Swedish influence on the Finnish language was consequently much more profound than on Estonian. In the eighteenth century the shift in the balance of power in northern Europe brought Livonia within the Russian Empire, in which it remained until Estonia, like the other Baltic republics of Latvia and Lithuania, became an independent republic in 1918. Even then, Estonia’s independence was not easily held; a bitter civil war lasted until 1920, and the independent state of Estonia lasted only until 1940, when the country, along with its Baltic neighbours, was forcibly absorbed into the Soviet Union as a result of the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact which divided north-eastern Europe into spheres of influence between the Nazi and Soviet empires. It was only during this Soviet period that Russian influence on the Estonian language made itself felt profoundly. The far-reaching changes in Estonian society that the Soviet administration brought with it are of course reflected in the vocabulary of modern Estonian. Now that Estonia is independent again, following the country’s declaration of independence in 1990 and the collapse of the USSR in 1991, it remains to be seen how deep-rooted this Russian influence on the language has been. Present-day Estonia is a country undergoing rapid change. Even during the darkest days of the Soviet era, the Estonians were a westward-looking people, who enjoyed one of the highest material standards of living in the USSR. Cultural links with Finland were maintained as far as possible, and Estonia’s unique culture was preserved with fierce pride against almost overwhelming odds. The greatest threat to the integrity of the nation was posed by the influx of immigrants from other Soviet republics, mostly Russia, and the concomitant policy of heavy industrialization which was a conscious part of the Soviet programme of welding together a community of ‘fraternal’ republics. The legacy of this is the large Russian-speaking population which remains in Estonia today. Only time will tell what will become of the ethnic disparities that exist in the young republic. Twenty-first century Estonia has made amazing strides towards becoming a modern, wired-up, western European nation, all the more so since the country joined the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 2004. English speakers and Estonians have become a lot more familiar with one another in the decade since this volume was first written, and Estonia is now a popular tourist destination for people from Britain and the USA. The welcome will be even warmer for someone who has made the effort to learn something of the culture and language of this unique nation. Of course, for those who know Russian it is possible to get by in a superficial way, and even communicate with the sizeable Russian-speaking population, but if you really want to get to know Estonia well, the only way is to learn the language. You will find that your Estonian friends and colleagues are eager to help and encourage you, and the experience of learning this beautiful tongue will be well worth the effort. Good luck in your studies! Acknowledgements I would like to record my grateful thanks to numerous people who have offered help and encouragement in the writing of this book. In the initial stages my inspiration and guidance came from the late Professor Eduard Vääri of the University of Tartu, whose knowledge of the intricacies both of the Estonian language and of teaching it are second to none. As the book developed I have had invaluable help and numerous suggestions from Tiina Tamman, Alliki Lukk and Merit Ilja, to whom I am sincerely grateful. In preparing this new edition, I have been grateful for the help and encouragement of Lembi Loigu. Any sins of omission or commission that remain after their careful scrutiny are entirely my own.

The sounds of Estonian The sounds of Estonian The alphabet (names of the letters in brackets) a b [c] d e [f] g h i j k l (aa) (bee) (tsee) (dee) (ee) (eff) (gee) (haa) (ii) ( jott) (kaa) (ell) m n o p [q] r s [sˇ] [z] [zˇ] t (emm) (enn) (oo) (pee) (kuu) (err) (ess) (sˇaa) (sh as in Shah) (zee) (zˇee) (tee) u (uu) v (vee) [w] (topeltvee/ kaksisvee) õ (õõ) ä (ää) ö (öö) ü (üü) [x] (iks) [y] (igrek) The letters given in square brackets occur only in words and names of foreign origin. Pronunciation You can hear a selection of the following material on the accompanying CD. Consonants (CD 1; 2) The consonants g, b, d are pronounced like their English counterparts, but with slightly less voicing. In genuine Estonian words they are not found in the first position. 5/30/08, 16:45 The sounds of Estonian lugema sugu mägi viga magama põder rida to read gender, stock, family hill mistake to sleep elk, moose row, line pada pidama ader tuba habe lubama hõbe pot to hold plough room beard to promise silver In the final position in a word b, d and g lose their voicing: tuleb toad poeg comes rooms son sulg kuld kurb feather, pen gold sad The consonant combination ng is always pronounced [rg] (as two sounds): ring circle play mäng The consonants b, d, g and k, p, t form a set which is subject to a phenomenon called ‘consonant gradation’. Depending on a variety of factors which we shall study in the grammar lessons, these sounds occur in different ‘grades’ of length and voicing. At the beginning of a word, k, p and t are pronounced as in English, but without the aspiration or slight puff of air which is usually emitted in English words: kana paras taga hen right behind kott pea tere bag head hello Within a word, k, p and t are lengthened after a stressed short vowel: rukis tiku lükata rye of a match postpone õpin lipu mõte I learn of a flag thought After a long vowel or diphthong or a voiced consonant, k, p and t are pronounced even longer, with double length: sööki vaipa vaatan (some) food (some) carpet I look aitan jäätis I help ice cream When written double, kk, pp and tt are longer still, even at the end of a word: The sounds of Estonian pakkuma kokku tuppa kappi to offer together into the room into the cupboard 7 tükk õppida katta võtta piece, item to learn cover to take The dental consonants (those in which the teeth are involved in articulation), namely d, t, n, l and s, occur in two forms: unpalatalized and palatalized. Palatalization originally occurred because of a following i or j: ostja ‘buyer’, võti ‘key’; but in the present-day language the i which caused the palatalization has in some cases been dropped as the result of sound changes. Palatalization is not shown in written Estonian. In the following examples, we need to know other forms of the word – the type of declension involved – in order to guess whether the final consonant is palatalized or not. This is part of the process of consonant gradation which we will come to later. palatalized müts (gen. mütsi) cap patt (gen. pati) stalemate kott (gen. koti) bag, sack, clog unpalatalized müts (gen. mütsu) thump patt (gen. patu) sin kott (gen. kota) large shoe l and s are clearer than in English, because the point of articulation in Estonian is lower and further forward: süsi sisse coal in(to) elan talle I live to him h is usually pronounced as in English, and in all positions: hammas tsehh tooth department ahju stove (gen. ) The letter j is pronounced like the ‘y’ in English ‘yet’, and it can be doubled: maja house majja into the house Generally no difference is heard in pronunciation between s and z, or sˇ and zˇ, the last two of which, found only in foreign words, represent the sounds in ‘ship’ and ‘beige’. None of the sounds is usually voiced. The sound r is fairly strongly trilled, and can occur both short and long: korral kord in case order, time härra 7 gentleman, Mr 8 The sounds of Estonian The other letters occurring in native words, namely m, n and v, are pronounced as in English, but when written double they are pronounced with extra length. I mina go minna f, which occurs only in recent foreign loans, is pronounced as in English: chief, boss, (slang) cool sˇeff film film q, w, x and y occur only in foreign names and have no designated pronunciation in Estonian. Vowels (CD 1; 3) There are nine vowels in Estonian, three of which do not occur in English. All of them may occur either short or long, and are written as such. a is pronounced short as in ‘agenda’ and long as in ‘father’: hallo tahtsin hallo I wanted again we get taas saame e is pronounced short as in ‘fell’ and long as in ‘café’: tere kell hi, good-day clock meeldiv pleasant need these, those i is pronounced short as in ‘filling’ and long as in ‘feeling’: iga mida each what viis five kiiresti quickly o is pronounced short as in ‘pot’ and long as in ‘port’: kolm kohvik three café oktoober Soome October Finland u is pronounced short as in ‘put’ and long as in ‘stool’: kuna pulma when of a wedding juuli suu July mouth õ is a narrow, unrounded back vowel. It is produced with the tongue in the position for ‘u’ as in ‘put’ and the lips in the position for ‘i’ in ‘pit’. The nearest English equivalent is the vowel in ‘bird’, but õ is more tense: The sounds of Estonian I study speech õpin kõne 9 foreign bush võõras põõsas ä is identical to the vowel in English ‘cat’: käsi hand tänan I thank (you) hääl äär sound, voice, vote edge ö is a narrow rounded central vowel, like the same letter in German: öelda köök to say kitchen söön töö I eat work ü is a narrow rounded front vowel, made by rounding the lips and articulating further forward than ö: süda heart püha sacred, festival süüa püüda eat try Note that for all the above vowels, the long form has the same quality as the short, and is not a diphthong or a different vowel as in some cases in English. In addition to pure vowels, there are numerous diphthongs in Estonian, including: ai au ei oa oi aitäh au ei noad poiss Stress thanks honour not knives boy ui õu äe äo kui lõug päev näo as, when, if chin day of a face (CD 1; 4) The main stress in words of Estonian origin is on the first syllable, but in words of recent foreign origin it may also fall on subsequent syllables, as underlined below: allergia Austraalia probleem allergy Australia problem revolutsioon revolution partei (political) party Exceptions among native words are very rare indeed; one such word is aitäh ‘thanks’. This word is also an exception to another rule: that all vowels may occur in the first (stressed) syllable of words of Estonian origin, but subsequent syllables may contain only a, e, i, o or u, and of these, o occurs only rarely. This is the result of a process of sound change in Estonian. 10 Exercise 1 Practise saying these words aloud: buss gaas dollar Helsingi sangad pipar nutan ratas mitu rääkida kleiti pakk appi hüüda ette lipp vett kisa asi tulen kallas hiir hea hind hääl palju juba ju järgmine rõõm veri nurk number ema homme bus gas dollar Helsinki handles, frames pepper I weep wheel some to speak (some) dress packet to call for help forward flag (some) water scream (n) thing I come shore mouse good price voice much already indeed, after all next joy blood corner number mother tomorrow liiv vilu mõni kõrge üks süüdi süü küüs hästi täna alles vabanda veel enamik midagi kiirus viimane viiksin hotell oleme konstitutsioon juuni just mu praen mao teadus poed veebruar lõa nõel sõita tõotada kräunuda sand cool, chilly some high one guilty guilt nail, claw well today only, not until excuse (me) still, yet majority something speed last I would take hotel we are constitution June just, exactly my I fry snake’s science shops February of a tether needle to travel to pledge to mew, whine Unit 1: Two old friends 1 Kaks vana sõpra Two old friends By the end of this unit you should: • • • • • be familiar with the present tense and infinitives of the verb know a little about the importance of consonant grades know something about the Estonian noun case system be able to greet other people formally and informally know about ‘definiteness’ and ‘indefiniteness’ Dialogue 1 (CD 1; 5) Kaks vana sõpra 12 Unit 1: Kaks vana sõpra Tõnu is a 19-year-old Estonian boy and Piret is a girl of the same age. They have not seen each other since they left school, but one day they meet by chance on the street in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Tere, Piret! Tere, Tõnu! Kuidas sa elad? Tänan, hästi. Kas sa oled üliõpilane? Jah, ma olen üliõpilane. Kus sa õpid? Ma õpin Tartu Ülikoolis. Kas sa töötad? Jah, ma töötan Tallinna Kaubamajas. Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Hi, Piret! Hi, Tõnu! How are you? Well, thanks. Are you a student? Yes, I’m a student. Where are you studying? I’m studying at the University of Tartu. Are you working? Yes, I work in the Tallinn department store. In the vocabulary lists that appear throughout the book, nouns and adjectives are given in the nominative and genitive cases; the partitive form is also given in the glossary at the end of the book. A dash (–) indicates that the form is identical to the nominative. Verbs are given in the infinitive -ma form. Vocabulary tere! kuidas sina or sa elama kuidas sa elad? tänama tänan hästi kas oled õpilane, -lase hi! good day! hello! how you (sing., familiar) live how are you? thank thanks well? (opens a yes/no question) (you, sing. ) are student yes I am where study, learn (you, sing. ) study university town in southern Estonia ülikool, -i university töötama work Tallinn, -a capital of Estonia kaubamaja, – department store jah mina or ma olen kus õppima õpid Tartu, – 13 Language points The present tense of the verb The present tense of the Estonian verb has the following endings: 1st person singular ‘I’ 2nd person singular ‘you’ 3rd person singular ‘he/she/it’ 1st person plural ‘we’ 2nd person plural ‘you’ 3rd person plural ‘they’ -n -d -b -me -te -vad Thus the conjugation of the Estonian verb õppima ‘study, learn’ looks like this (note the short and long forms of the pronouns): mina (ma) õpin sina (sa) õpid tema (ta) õpib meie (me) õpime teie (te) õpite nemad (nad) õpivad Notice here that Estonian makes no distinction between ‘he’ and ‘she’: they are both tema/ta. Consonant gradation The difference between the -pp- of the infinitive õppima and the single -p- in the present-tense forms is an instance of the phenomenon of consonant gradation, which is an integral part of Estonian grammar and applies to all declinable classes of words. There are three grades of consonants in Estonian, distinguished by different degrees of length (see the notes in the introductory chapter ‘The Sounds of Estonian’). We shall be returning to consonant gradation again later as we meet it in various forms. The verb olema: ‘to be’ The verb ‘to be’ in Estonian is olema, and it is irregular. It conjugates like this: mina (ma) olen sina (sa) oled tema (ta) on see on I am you are he/she is it is meie (me) oleme we are teie (te) olete you are nemad (nad) on they are 14 Unit 1: Kaks vana sõpra Optional pronouns Notice that pronouns are not always used with present-tense verbs, because the endings alone indicate the person of the verb: Kuidas elad? or Kuidas sa elad? How are you? (lit., how do you live? ) Definiteness and indefiniteness Ma olen õpilane. I am a student. Notice that in this sentence there is no article corresponding to ‘a’ in English. The sentence could just as well mean ‘I am the student’, depending on the context. Estonian has different ways of indicating definiteness (‘the’) and indefiniteness (‘a’) from English, and these ways are built into the case system, which we shall now examine. Noun cases Estonian has a system of noun cases which largely do the work that prepositions do in English. The nominative case, which represents the subject of the sentence, is the basic form given in the glossaries, and it has no particular characteristic ending: õpilane, ülikool, kaubamaja, Piret and so on. Thus in the example given above, Ma olen õpilane, both ma and õpilane appear in the nominative case. There are fourteen commonly used noun cases in Estonian, and we shall meet them all in the course of the units. For most of the cases it is necessary to add an ending to the stem of the genitive case, which indicates possession or belonging, roughly corresponding to ‘of’ in English. The genitive form usually ends in a vowel, and because of its importance in forming other cases, you will find the genitive form given after the nominative form for all nouns listed in the glossaries. For example, the genitive of ülikool is ülikooli, and knowing this form we can form nearly all the other cases of this noun. In the large number of cases where a noun ends in a consonant, a single vowel is added: Tallinn > Tallinna, as in the sentence Ma töötan Tallinna Kaubamajas. I work in the Tallinn department store. 15 In cases where the noun ends in a vowel, this will also be the genitive singular form, and so most other case endings will be added directly to this stem: Tartu > Tartu- for instance. I study at the University of Tartu. Ma õpin Tartu Ülikoolis. When we come to study adjectives, we will see that they too can be declined; in most cases they agree in number and case with the noun they qualify. We say Piret is a young woman. Piret on noor naine. but Tõnu on noore naise sõber. Tõnu is the young woman’s friend. How to say ‘in’ Look at the first two examples given in the above section and you will see that in both cases the final noun ends in -s, added to the genitive stem. This is the characteristic ending of the inessive case, which roughly corresponds to ‘in’ or ‘at’ in English; it generally refers to a position ‘inside’ something. So we find: nom. gen. iness. ülikool ülikooli ülikoolis university of the university at the university nom. iness. kaubamaja kaubamaja kaubamajas department store of the department store at the department store. Exercise 1 Pronounce the following words: tuba, seda, viga hapu, mitu, rukis tüüpiline, saatus, liikuda kimpu, Tartu, hankida õppetükk, kütta, hakkan padi, nalja, pann käsi, kott, sepp sul, kuidas, Soomes elad, veel, laeval 16 Unit 1: Kaks vana sõpra õnn, sõber, võõras, kõik, lõoke küla, ülikoolis, sügisel Exercise 2 Write the correct forms of the verb: Mina elan Tartus.

This is Tõnu Tamm speaking. Excuse me, please, is that Piret’s flat? Mother: It is. Tõnu: Is Piret at home? Mother: No, she isn’t. Tõnu: And you don’t know where she is? Mother: She’s in town. Tõnu: When is she coming (back)? Mother: She’s coming soon. Ring a little later! Tõnu: Thanks. Goodbye! Mother: Goodbye!

When picking up the telephone, for instance, Estonians might say Hallo – but they would not expect the 20 Unit 2: Telefon same greeting in response as an English speaker might give, and they would not use Hallo in face-to-face conversation. Instead we might find one of several greetings, depending on the circumstances. The most common greeting in all circumstances is: Tere! or Tervist! hello, hi (at any time of day) Other common greetings are: Tere päevast! Tere hommikust! Tere õhtust! good day (daytime) good morning good evening And to say goodbye, we might choose between these greetings: good-bye good night see you later Head aega! Head ööd! Nägemiseni! Polite and familiar forms In Estonian, unless you know a person well, it is usual to use the polite form of ‘you’ Teie (short form Te). To good friends, children and family members it is usual to use the intimate, familiar form sina (short form sa). You will learn this etiquette with practice, but if in doubt among Estonians, it is safest to use Te(ie) – and note that it is written with a capital T. More about consonant changes As we saw in the pronunciation section of the introductory chapter, in Estonian both vowels and consonants can have varying degrees of length. As Estonian is written very much as it is spoken, the length is usually reflected in the spelling: sada ‘hundred’, but saada ‘get’; sina ‘you’, but sinna ‘there’. As far as consonants are concerned, this phenomenon is called consonant gradation. In Lesson 1 we met the verb õppima ‘study’, which has the present tense forms: õpin õpid õpib õpime õpite õpivad 21 We noted in Lesson 1 that there are three grades in Estonian. We see in the example above that there is only one -p- in the present tense form, and yet a double -pp- in the infinitive. But there is another kind of distinction: between voiced and unvoiced consonants. For instance, the infinitive of the verb rääkima ‘speak’ changes in the present tense to: räägin räägid räägib räägime räägite räägivad The set of consonants to which these changes apply is: -g-b-d- -k-p-t- -kk-pp-tt- We will learn more about these grades, sometimes called ‘strong’ and ‘weak’, in the next unit. For the present we need only note the principle of consonant gradation here; we will learn more about it as we meet more instances of it. Verbs in the present tense We have now met a few common Estonian verbs, and nearly all of them follow a regular pattern in all persons of the conjugation based on the infinitive ending in -ma. Here are a few of the most useful common verbs in their infinitive and present-tense forms: olema tulema tahtma minema nägema present present present present present tense tense tense tense tense olen, oled, on... tulen, tuled, tuleb... tahan, tahad, tahab... lähen, lähed, läheb... näen, näed, näeb... be come want go see If the verb is irregular, in the following units in the Vocabularies the first person singular is given. There are actually two kinds of infinitive of the verb in Estonian, ending in -ma and -da. This book, like most Estonian dictionaries, gives the -ma form in vocabulary lists because it is easier to form the other parts of the verb from this. We will learn the difference in uses of the two infinitives in later lessons. 22 Giving commands Excuse (me)! Ring a little later! Vabandage! Helistage natuke hiljem! The imperative or command form of the verb is very easy to form in Estonian. There are two types of imperative: singular and plural (or familiar and polite). We will discuss the singular (familiar) form later. In this unit we find Tõnu addressing an older person whom he has never met before – Piret’s mother – so they use the polite or plural form to each other. This is formed for most verbs by replacing the -da of the infinitive with -ge or -ke. Thus we find vabandage ‘excuse (me)’, formed from vabandada ‘forgive’, ‘excuse’, and helistage ‘ring’ formed from helistada ‘ring’. Here are some more examples: Tulge! Rääkige! Come! Speak! Paluge! Oodake! Palun tulge siia! Palun rääkige aeglasemalt! Minge otse sisse ja paluge! Palun oodake veel hetke! Ask! Wait! Please come here! Please speak more slowly! Go straight in and ask! Please wait a moment longer! ‘Here’ and ‘there’ When ‘here’ and ‘there’ are used in the sense of ‘in/at this or that place’, the word for ‘here’ in Estonian is siin, and for ‘there’ is seal: Piret lives here. Tõnu lives there. Piret elab siin. Tõnu elab seal. Negative statements Ta ei ole kodus. Te ei tea, kus ta on. He/she isn’t at home. You don’t know where he/she is. To make verbs negative in Estonian, we place the form ei before the stem of the verb. (The stem is what is left when we take away the personal endings from the present tense. ) So, for instance, we have mina olen ‘I am’, but mina ei ole ‘I am not’. To take the example of the verb õppima, we take the stem (õpi-) and place ei before it, like this: Unit 2: The telephone mina (ma) ei õpi sina (sa) ei õpi 23 I am not studying you are not studying But notice that there is a special word for ‘and not’: ega. The word ei can be repeated even when we have ega, resulting in a kind of double negative: Ega te ei tea, kus ta on? And you don’t know where she is? (Notice also the comma after tea, unlike English usage. ) What Tõnu is actually asking with this construction is ‘Do you know where she is? ’ It is quite easy to make sentences negative. Here are some more examples: Mina ei räägi eesti keelt. Tema ei helista hiljem. Ma ei tea, kus on ülikool. Ma ei saa aru. I don’t speak Estonian (= the Estonian language). She will not ring later. I don’t know where the university is. I don’t understand. If you have the recording, listen to the way verbs are negated after these commands: (CD 1; 9) Tulge! Ma ei tule. Helistage! Ma ei helista. Rääkige! Ma ei räägi. Paluge! Ma ei palu. Oodake! Ma ei oota. (ootama = wait) Exercise 1 Respond in the negative as above: 1 Olge! 2 Nähke! 3 Minge! 4 Vabandage! 5 Õppige! The partitive case hea aeg head aega! a/the good time goodbye! (lit. : some good time! ) (implied wish) Other greetings and congratulations are also in the partitive, because they imply the verb soovin ‘I wish’: Happy new year! Happy Christmas! Head uut aastat! Häid jõule! (plural in Estonian)... Palju õnne! (= Much luck! ) Congratulations! 24 Unit 2: Telefon We will learn more about these partitive forms in later lessons. The partitive case is one of the most commonly used noun cases in Estonian, and we shall have more to say about it in later lessons. Its basic meaning is ‘some of’, ‘part of’ – hence its name. It can take various endings in the singular and plural, but the most common endings for the partitive singular are -d and -t, depending on the preceding sound. There are two examples of the partitive in the conversation we have just read. When Tõnu greeted Piret’s mother he wished her tervist, which literally means ‘(some) health’. Tervis means ‘health’, and we add the partitive -t to form the greeting. The second example of the partitive came at the end of the conversation: head aega. The partitive case is one of the cases in Estonian that is used for both nouns and adjectives, so here we find hea ‘good’ + partitive -d and aeg ‘time’ + partitive -a: literally ‘(some) good time’, another common greeting when taking leave of someone. The partitive case has many and varied uses, so many that we will not attempt to cover them all in one lesson. Remember, though, that it is called partitive because it is used with nouns (almost always objects of verbs) that are perceived as partial. For example, it is always used with the objects of verbs that are negative: Ta ei räägi eesti keelt. He doesn’t speak Estonian. (keel = language) Ma ei tea seda. I don’t know that. Because the partitive case is so commonly used in Estonian, and because its form cannot easily be guessed, you will find the partitive form of each noun and adjective given along with the nominative and genitive in the glossary at the end of the book. There is also a partitive of absence, which uses this case to indicate that something or someone is lacking or not present. We learned just now to say Ta ei ole kodus ‘He/She isn’t at home’, but we could also use the partitive and say simply Teda ei ole. Or to say ‘Piret isn’t at home’, we could say Piretit ei ole. Exercise 2 Write out in full the present tense forms of these verbs: paluma, teadma, tulema, rääkima. 25 Exercise 3 How would you say: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Tõnu Tamm isn’t here. Piret isn’t in town. I’m not asking (küsima) where she is. She isn’t at home either. I won’t come (= I’m not coming) yet, I’m coming a little later. I speak English. Exercise 4 Look up in the glossary at the end of this book the partitive forms of: kool, Tallinn, kaubamaja, kauplus. Another verb for ‘know’ apart from teadma (to know a fact or the existence of something) is tundma (tunnen) – to be acquainted with someone or something. How would you say, using the above words: 1 2 3 4 5 We don’t know the school. She doesn’t know Tallinn. I don’t know the department store. You ( pl. ) don’t know the shop. I don’t know that boy. Dialogue 2 (CD 1; 10) Tõnu proovib jälle A little later, Tõnu tries to ring Piret again. This time he has more success. Ema: Tõnu: Ema: Tõnu: Hallo! Tervist. Siin räägib jälle Tõnu Tamm. Palun, kas Piret on kodus? On küll. Ma kohe kutsun. Oodake natukene. Tänan. Ma ootan. After a moment, Piret comes to the telephone. Piret: Tõnu: Hallo! Tere! Siin räägib Tõnu. Kuidas sa elad? 26 Unit 2: Telefon Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Aitäh, pole viga. Aga sina? Tänan, hästi. Kas sa tahad täna kuhugi minna? Jah. Kuhu me läheme? Ma mõtlen, et võib-olla läheme kinno. Mother: Hello! Tõnu: Hello. This is Tõnu Tamm speaking again. Is Piret at home, please? Mother: Yes, she is. I’ll just call her. Wait a moment. Tõnu: Thanks. I’ll wait. Piret: Hello! Tõnu: Hi! This is Tõnu speaking. How are you? Piret: Thanks, I’m all right. And you? Tõnu: Fine, thanks. Do you want to go somewhere today? Piret: Yes. Where shall we go? Tõnu: I thought we might go to the cinema. Vocabulary jälle küll kohe kutsuma ootama pole (= ei ole) viga pole viga again indeed, yes immediately, straight away call, invite wait isn’t, am not, aren’t fault all right aga tahtma, tahan minema, lähen kuhugi täna kuhu mõtlema, et võib-olla kino, – but, and want go (to) somewhere today where (to)? think that perhaps cinema Suggesting Notice how Tõnu makes his suggestion: Kas sa tahad täna kuhugi minna? Do you want to go somewhere today? 27 There are two points to note about this question. First, the form of the verb infinitive, minna, is an example of what we call the -da infinitive, ‘to go’. You will learn how these two infinitives are used in different contexts in later lessons, but for now a simple rule of thumb is: if ‘to (do something)’ really means ‘in order to (do something)’ in English, then the appropriate form is probably -ma; otherwise -da is used. Second, the question-word kas precedes the suggestion, and the verb minna (which is irregular, as we noted above) goes to the end of the sentence, as it is governed by another verb: tahad ‘you want’. This is a common word order for suggestions and other ‘yes/no’ questions of this type. Movement ‘to’ a place or thing Ma mõtlen, et võib-olla läheme kinno. (CD 1; 11) I thought (‘think’) we might go to the cinema. The illative is the noun case that answers the question ‘into what? ’ It has two forms, long and short. The long form adds -sse to the genitive stem, but in this lesson we will only concern ourselves with the short form. If the last consonant of the noun is short, then it is lengthened; if it is already long, then the final vowel of the nominative noun is added. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but we will note them as we go along. Example: kino kaubamaja linn cinema department store town gen. linna illative illative illative kinno kaubamajja linna The question-word kuhu ‘where (to)’, ‘whither’ is also in the illative case, as is the word kuhugi ‘to somewhere’. But the word for ‘(to) home’ is irregular: koju (kodus means ‘at home’). Piret on kodus. Piret läheb koju. Piret is at home. Piret is going home. If you have the recording, listen to these sentences and note the differences in the forms of the nouns: Tallinnas on kino. Linnas on kaubamaja. Tartu on suur linn. Me läheme kinno. Me läheme kaubamajja. Me läheme linna. 28 Exercise 5 How would you say in Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 I’m going somewhere. Tõnu is going to the department store. Piret is going to town. They are going to the cinema. We’re not going anywhere. (= somewhere) Perhaps I’ll go home. I think we might go to the town. Exercise 6 Translate the following dialogue into Estonian: A: B: A: B: A: B: A: Excuse me, do you know where Tõnu is? Yes, he’s coming to town soon. But don’t you know where he is? No, I don’t know. Perhaps he’s already in town. No, I know he’s not there. Perhaps he’s at the department store. He’s going to the department store today, I know. Thanks, I’ll come (say: I am coming) a little later. Exercise 7 Here are the names of some places. In each case, how would you say: ‘I don’t know... (place name, using partitive)’ and ‘We are travelling to... (place name, using sõitma and both forms of the illative)’: 1 Tallinn 2 Tartu 3 Pärnu 4 Soome (Finland) 5 Läti (Latvia) 6 Leedu (Lithuania) 7 Niguliste kirik (church in Tallinn) 8 Rootsi (Sweden) 9 Eesti (Estonia) Tõnu helistab (CD 1; 12) Kui Piret on Tallinnas, elab ta oma isa ja ema juures ja on sageli õhtuti kodus. Ka täna õhtul on ta kodus, kui Tõnu helistab. Tõnu 29 tahab jälle Piretit näha ja küsib, kas Piret tahab välja minna. Tõnu tahab minna kinno. Nad lähevad koos kinno. Vocabulary oma isa, – ema, – juures sageli õhtu, – õhtuti (my/your/his/her... ) own father mother ( postposition) at, with, at the home of often evening in the evenings ka täna õhtul kui Piretit ( partitive nägema, (näen) küsima võima välja koos also, even this evening when of Piret) see ask can, be able out together Exercise 8 1 2 3 4 5 Kus Piret elab, kui ta on Tallinnas? Kus ta on õhtuti? Keda (= whom, partitive) tahab Tõnu näha? Mida (= what, partitive) Tõnu küsib? Kuhu nad lähevad? Unit 3: Kohvikus 3 Kohvikus In a café By the end of this unit you should be able to: • • • • • • use and recognize several more noun cases use the numbers 1–10 use the past tense of the verb ‘to be’ form compound nouns express the ideas of ‘have’ and ‘must’ in the present tense request and order things (CD 1; 13) Tõnu ja Piret kohvikus Tõnu and Piret have been to the cinema and are now sitting in a Tallinn café. Tõnu orders some refreshment. Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Palun mulle üks must kohv ja üks saiake. Ja sulle, Piret? Mulle ka kohv, aga koorega, ja üks kreemikook. Kas film oli sinu meelest huvitav? Jah, väga huvitav, aga ma olin võib-olla liiga väsinud. Ma pean homme sõitma tagasi Tartusse. Kas sa sõidad rongiga? Jah, juba kell seitse hommikul! See on pikk reis. Jah, umbes kolm tundi. Tõnu: Piret: A black coffee and a bun for me, please. And for you, Piret? I’ll have coffee too, but with cream, and one cream cake. Unit 3: In a café Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: 31 Did you think the film was interesting? Yes, very interesting, but perhaps I was too tired. I have to travel back to Tartu tomorrow. Are you going by train? Yes, at seven in the morning! It is a long trip. Yes, about three hours. Vocabulary minule, mulle sinule, sulle must, -a kohv, -i sai, -a saiake, -se, ( part. -st) koor, -e üks kreem, -i kreemikook, -koogi film, -i sinu meel, -e sinu meelest for me (long and short forms) for you (sing. ) (long and short forms) black coffee white bread (small) bun cream (from milk) one cream (made from butter) cream cake film your (sing. ) mind, opinion in your opinion huvitav, -a väga liiga väsinud pidama, pean homme sõitma, sõidan tagasi rong, -i juba kell, -a seitse, seitsme hommik, -u see, selle pikk, pika reis, -i umbes viis, viie tund, tunni interesting very too (much) tired have to, must tomorrow travel back train already, as early as clock, o’clock seven morning it, that long trip, journey about, approximately five hour Ways of saying ‘to’ a place Ta sõidab ülehomme Tartusse. He’s travelling to Tartu the day after tomorrow. Ma pean Tartusse sõitma. I have to travel to Tartu. The long form of the illative case (see Unit 2) is -sse added to the genitive stem. It has very restricted use, however. There are not very 32 Unit 3: Kohvikus many words where both variants are in use. These are mainly placenames, such as Pärnusse/Pärnu, Tartusse/Tartu and some other words. Not all words have two possible forms. Longer words (generally two or more syllables in the stem) tend to have only the longer form. Shorter words may have either long or short or both forms. Sometimes both are possible, but usually one is preferred over the other in practice. Noun cases based on the genitive stem As you will have seen by now, Estonian uses a system of noun cases added to the noun stem, and these largely do the work that prepositions do in English: ‘in’, ‘of’, ‘for’, ‘to’ and so on. We have now learned all the cases that we might call ‘grammatical’ cases – that is, cases with stems of their own. All the cases we will encounter from now on are what we can call ‘prepositional’ cases, based on the genitive stem (always given in the vocabulary lists). The words mulle and sulle (the longer forms minule and sinule are slightly more emphatic) mean ‘to/for me’ and ‘to/for you’ respectively, and are our first encounter with the allative case, whose characteristic ending is -le added to the genitive stem. The genitive, or possessive, forms of the personal pronouns are: minu sinu tema meie teie nende my (short form mu) your (sing. ) (short form su) his/her our your ( pl. ) their You will see from this that tema, meie and teie are in fact identical to the nominative pronouns ‘he/she’, ‘we’, ‘you’. There are short forms for tema (ta), meie (me) and teie (te) as well. Although there are quite a few noun cases in Estonian, the majority of them are based on the genitive stem. Looking back over the vocabulary for the dialogue above, for instance, we find kreem(-i), kohv(-i), film (-i), but must(-a), sai(-a), and kell(-a), not to mention meel(-e), koor(-e), and even pikk/pika, tund/tunni and hommik(-u). Another important thing to note about the genitive case in Estonian is that it also serves as an accusative case. There is no separate accusative or ‘object’ case in Estonian; instead the genitive Unit 3: In a café 33 is used when the object of the verb is perceived as ‘total’ rather than ‘partial’. Verb objects in Estonian: the genitive and partitive cases Study these examples: Loen raamatut. I’m reading a book (and haven’t finished; partitive case). Loen ühe raamatu. I read/am reading a (= one) book (to the end; genitive case). Loen raamatu läbi. I read a book through (to the end, genitive case). (loen I read/am reading; raamat, -u book; läbi through) You will see here that part of the difference between the genitive and the partitive object is the ‘completeness’ of the action being described. As we have already seen with the partitive case, some verbs govern the partitive when the object is seen as being partial; all other direct objects of verbs take the genitive case. Note the difference between these two sentences: Tõnu ostab lehe. Tõnu buys a newspaper. (a whole one) Tõnu loeb lehte. Tõnu reads a newspaper. (at least part of it) The Estonian distinction between partial and total objects of verbs will come more easily with practice. Another difference between the use of the genitive and the partitive in Estonian is that the partitive is preferred with verbs of thinking, perceiving and feeling, especially if the object is a person. As you will see from the vocabulary lists, sometimes the genitive and partitive forms are identical anyway. Exercise 1 See if you can guess which form the object takes in the sentences below. Note the new vocabulary. 1 Ma armastan (_______you). (armastama love) 2 Ma võtan (_______one coffee). 34 Unit 3: Kohvikus 3 Ma näen (_______a dog). (koer dog) 4 Tema kutsub (_______Piret) kinno. Although there are fourteen noun cases in Estonian, you will be relieved to know that the only ones that present any problems for the learner are the two that we have now encountered: the genitive and the partitive. The majority of the rest are easy to use and recognize because their endings are added to the genitive stem. With this knowledge we can now go ahead and tackle some of the other cases. ‘To’ and ‘for’ Palun mulle üks must kohv. Ja sulle? One black coffee for me, please. And for you? The words minule and sinule, as we see above, mean ‘to/for me’ and ‘to/for you’, respectively. In the shorter forms, mulle and sulle, there is an additional l. Further examples: Tõnu helistab Piretile. Tõnu rings (to) Piret. Kas tema kirjutab mulle? Is he writing to me? Ma pean minema rongi peale. I have to go to the train. ‘With’ Mulle kohv koorega. Kas sa sõidad rongiga? Coffee with cream for me. Are you travelling by train? Another case that is formed from the genitive stem is the comitative, whose characteristic ending is always -ga. Its use corresponds to ‘with’ or ‘by means of’ in English. In the dialogue you will find two examples of it: koorega (koor + e + ga) ‘with cream’ and rongiga (rong + i + ga) ‘by train’. Further examples: Ta tuleb koju sõbraga. He’s coming home with a friend. Ta tahab kohvi saiaga. She wants coffee with a bun. Me sõidame Tartusse autoga. We’re travelling to Tartu by car. Note the difference in the use of cases in these two sentences: Kas sa räägid minule/mulle? Kas sa räägid minuga? Will you tell me? Are you speaking/Will you speak to me? 35 Combining nouns Estonian is a language that can fairly freely form single-word combinations of two or three nouns, and these compound nouns are very commonly found. In the dialogue, Piret orders a kreemikook, a cream cake. Notice how the first noun in the compound appears in the genitive, kreemi-. This is the usual way to form compounds in Estonian. We can form more compounds from the vocabulary we have. We have in fact already met some: pea + linn ‘head town’ = ‘capital city’; kauba + maja ‘commodity house’ = ‘department store’. Compounds of two nouns can be formed not only with the first noun in the genitive; the first noun can also be in the nominative (as in kuld + kett ‘gold chain’; leht + puu ‘deciduous tree’; keel + pill ‘string instrument’). In pronouncing compound nouns, remember that the stress falls on the first syllable of each element. In some cases the syllable division may be between two vowels: be careful to pronounce them separately. For instance, autoosad ‘car parts’ consists of the words auto ‘car’ + osad ‘parts’, and the elements are pronounced separately, with a break between them, and the second o given greater stress. Other things on the menu would be made of compound nouns, too: võileib ‘sandwich’ (või ‘butter’ + leib ‘bread’); juustuleib ‘cheese open sandwich’ (juust ‘cheese’); porgandipirukas ‘carrot pie/(small) pie’ (porgand ‘carrot’ + pirukas ‘little pie, pirogue’) and so on. ‘From’ Kas film oli sinu meelest huvitav? Was the film interesting in your opinion (‘from your mind’)? Yet another Estonian case formed from the genitive stem is the elative, whose ending is -st. It roughly corresponds to the English prepositions ‘from’ or ‘about’ in usage. But there are many idioms in Estonian which do not correspond so readily to English prepositional use. One of them is a common expression for ‘in my/your/ his... opinion’ or ‘I think that... ’. Here the elative is used with the word meel ‘mind’ in the genitive (almost like the English phrase ‘to my mind... ’: minu/sinu meelest, and so on, literally ‘from my/your mind’. 36 Unit 3: Kohvikus Minu meelest oli reis pikk, ja mitte väga huvitav. I thought the trip was long and not very interesting. Tema meelest on kohv hea koorega. She thinks coffee is good with cream. This case also means ‘from’ in the purely physical sense too: Ta läheb majast välja. ‘She is going from/out of the house. ’ Ma sõidan Tartust Tallinna. ‘I am travelling from Tartu to Tallinn. ’ Past tense of the verb The past tense of olla ‘to be’ is conjugated like this: m(in)a olin s(in)a olid t(em)a oli see oli I was you were he/she was it was m(ei)e olime t(ei)e olite n(em)ad olid we were you were they were The characteristic ending for the past tense of the majority of other verbs is similar to this, but with -s- added to the stem of the -da infinitive. To take the example lubada ‘promise’ we find: mina lubasin sina lubasid tema lubas meie lubasime teie lubasite nemad lubasid I promised you promised he/she promised we promised you promised they promised Piret helistas koju. Piret rang home. Ta õppis eesti keelt väga hästi. She learned Estonian very well. Ma lubasin varsti koju minna. I promised to go home soon. Film oli väga pikk. The film was very long. We will look at the past tense in more detail in later units. Verbs used with other verbs The infinitive of a verb is the basic uninflected form, and is the form which appears in dictionaries: ‘to see’, ‘to hear’ and so on. 37 Each verb in Estonian has two types of infinitive: the one ending in -da and the one ending in -ma. The -ma form is only used when the verb follows, or is ‘governed’ by, certain other verbs; for example, Ma pean minema. I have to go. Compare that with this sentence: Ma tahan minna. I want to go. In the dialogue we find sõitma ‘to travel’; the -da form is sõita. It might be helpful to remember that whereas -da means simply ‘to’ do something, -ma means something like ‘in order to’ do something. In other words, it is always governed by another verb that comes before it. In this case, sõitma is part of the phrase ma pean sõitma ‘I have to travel. ’ Pidama is one of a range of verbs that can ‘govern’ other verbs in this way. A common way of saying ‘I must’ or ‘I have to’ in Estonian is ma pean... -ma. Further examples are as follows. Note that it is usual to put the main verb at the end of the main clause. Mina pean varsti helistama, aga sina võid helistada hiljem. Me peame koos kinno minema. Cardinal numbers I have to ring soon, but you can ring later. We must go to the cinema together. (CD 1; 14) The numbers from one to ten in Estonian can take case endings, just as adjectives can, and in the nominative and genitive they are: üks, ühe kaks, kahe kolm, kolme neli, nelja viis, viie one two three four five kuus, kuue seitse, seitsme kaheksa, – üheksa, – kümme, kümne six seven eight nine ten Notice that the nouns that follow the numbers two and above appear in the partitive singular: viis tundi ‘five hours’ (tundi is the partitive singular form of tund); seitse linna ‘seven towns’; kuus kooli ‘six schools’. 38 Exercise 2 With the aid of the glossary at the end of the book (which gives the partitive singular forms), find out how you would order: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 two coffees and five buns three coffees and two sandwiches five coffees and four buns nine glasses of milk four cups of tea three cups of black coffee seven glasses of water Exercise 3 Fill in the blanks: Palun, _______ üks kohv koorega ja kaks saia. Ja _______, Piret? _______ ka _______, ja üks _______. Kas film _______ huvitav? Jah, _______ meeldiv, aga ma _______ liiga _______. Ma _______ varsti koju (= home) minema. Kus sa _______?

They get ready to leave the café. Piret: Kell on juba kümme! Vabanda, aga ma pean koju minema. Tõnu: Jah, ka minul on homme pikk tööpäev. Aga ülehomme on mul vaba päev. Kas sa tunned minu sõpra Inglismaalt? Tema on ka Tartu Ülikooli üliõpilane. Piret: Mis tema nimi on? Tõnu: Ta nimi on Paul. Piret: Ei, ma ei tunne teda. Tõnu: Ma võin teda sulle tutvustada. Ta sõidab ülehomme bussiga Tartusse ja ma lubasin temaga kaasa minna. Piret: It’s already ten o’clock! Sorry, but I have to go home. Tõnu: Yes, I’ve got a long working day tomorrow too. But the day after tomorrow I have a free day. Do you know my friend from England? He’s also a student at Tartu University. Piret: What’s his name? Tõnu: His name is Paul. Piret: No, I don’t know him. Tõnu: I can introduce him to you. He’s travelling to Tartu the day after tomorrow by bus, and I’ve promised to come with him. Vocabulary conversation sorry, excuse me (sing. or familiar form) koju (to) home teda him/her ( part. ) töö, – work päev, -a day vaba, – free tundma, tunnen feel; know (person) vestlus, -e vabanda minu t(em)a nimi, -me no tutvustama ülehomme buss, -i lubama kaasa my his/her name well introduce the day after tomorrow bus, coach promise together (with) 41 Apologizing There are various ways of making an apology in Estonian, just as there are in English. But in Estonian one can also choose between the familiar (singular) and polite (plural) forms: Vabanda! (familiar) Vabandage! (polite) Excuse me! Or you can use the more neutral expression Vabandust! How to give commands In Unit 2 we learned the polite, plural form of the imperative mood of the verb, used in making commands. The more familiar, intimate form of the imperative is formed simply by dropping the presenttense endings; it is the same as the present stem. But remember that the stem of the polite form of the imperative (Unit 2, ‘Making commands’) is formed from the stem of the -ma infinitive. Compare these forms: Sina helista kutsu oota räägi tule vabanda ring invite wait speak come excuse (me) Teie helistage kutsuge oodake rääkige tulge vabandage You will notice that the ending for the polite form is not always -ge; sometimes it is -ke instead. The ending for the polite/plural form is -ke when the stem of the -da infinitive is a ‘weak grade’ (see introductory notes on pronunciation) of a verb that undergoes consonant gradation – such as oodata/ootama. Often the preceding consonant in the stem is b, d or g, but not always: hüpake ‘jump’; compare the first and second infinitives hüpata and hüppama. ‘To have’ Minul on pikk tööpäev. Sinul on kaks venda. I have a long working day. You have two brothers. 42 Unit 3: Kohvikus The adessive case is formed simply by adding -l to the genitive stem. Its nearest equivalent in English is the preposition ‘on’ (in both the spatial and the temporal sense): Õhtul on huvitav film. In the evening (there) is an interesting film. Laual on klaas vett. On the table is a glass of water. But it also has an important extra function: ‘to have’. The usual Estonian corresponding to the English verb ‘to have’ is the adessive case of the word that refers to the possessor, followed by a form of the verb olema ‘to be’. So we find: minul on sinul on temal on (Nende is I have meil on we have you have teil on you have he/she has nendel on they have the genitive form of nemad. ) Temal on pikk tööpäev. Meil oli huvitav rongisõit. Sinul on kaks tundi aega. She has a long working day. We had an interesting train trip. You have two hours(’ time). Exercise 7 Translate into Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 I lived in Rakvere. She rang Pärnu. The boy waited a long time. The film was nice, and very interesting too. The journey was long, about seven hours. I travelled by bus from Tallinn to Kohtla-Järve. Did you think the coffee was good? Exercise 8 Answer these questions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Kas Tõnu tellib (= orders) ka kohvi Piretile? Kas Piret joob (= drinks) kohvi koorega? Kas film oli Pireti meelest huvitav? Kuhu peab Piret homme sõitma? Kas Piret sõidab bussiga? Kas Tõnul on ülehomme tööpäev või (= or) vaba päev? Kas Piret teab Tõnu sõbra nime? 43 8 Ja mis ta sõbra nimi on? 9 Kas ta sõber sõidab ka Tartusse? 10 Kas ta sõidab rongiga või bussiga? (CD 1; 16) Tõnu ja Piret kohvikus Tõnu ja Piret räägivad tükk aega (= a while, ‘a bit of time’) filmist. Pireti meelest oli film väga huvitav. Ka Tõnu arvab, et oli väga hea film. Aga kell on juba kümme ja Piret peab homme tagasi Tartusse sõitma. Võib-olla näeb Tõnu Piretit jälle. Tõnu sõber on ka Tartu Ülikooli üliõpilane ja ta sõidab ülehomme koos sõbraga Tartusse. Language in use Using the glossary at the end of the book, find out what would be the compound nouns meaning: 1 2 3 4 5 passenger train (‘trip’ + ‘train’) morning coffee clock time peace of mind bus station Unit 4: Tartus 4 Tartus In Tartu By the end of this unit you should be familiar with: • • • • • • clock times cardinal numbers above 10 the genitive plural form of the noun some basic adverbs how to say ‘up to’ and ‘until’ some prepositions and postpositions (CD 1; 17) Piret saab tuttavaks Pauliga Piret has agreed to meet Tõnu and his friend Paul at Tartu bus station. The two boys step off the bus. Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: Tõnu: Tere, Piret! Küll on tore, et sa mul Tartus vastas oled. Tere. Kuidas sõit läks? Tänan, hästi, kuigi me tõusime juba kolmveerand seitse, ja hommikusöök oli pool kaheksa. Aga siin on minu sõber Paul Inglismaalt. Saage tuttavaks. Tervist, Piret! Tervist, Paul. Millal te sõitma hakkasite? Buss läks täpselt kell kaheksa. Siis sõitsite te küll kiiresti, kell on ju alles viie minuti pärast üksteist. Hi, Piret! It certainly is nice that you’re here to meet me in Tartu. 5/30/08, 16:47 Unit 4: In Tartu Piret: Tõnu: 45 Hi. How did the trip go? Well, thanks, though we did get up at a quarter to seven, and breakfast was at half-past seven. But this is my friend Paul from England. May I introduce you? Hello, Piret! Hello, Paul. When did you set off? The bus left at exactly eight o’clock. So you got here quite quickly; it’s only five to eleven.

Tõnu could just as well have said et sa oled mul Tartus vastas. The first variant is stylistically better. Do not worry unduly about word order at this stage; just remember that it is more flexible than English word order. More about the past tense In the previous lesson we looked at how the past tense of olema and of most regular verbs is formed. If the stem of the verb ends in -s, it 46 Unit 4: Tartus is not necessary to repeat this s in the past tense. Tõusma ‘rise, get up’, for instance, is conjugated like this in the present and past tenses: mina sina tema meie teie nemad tõusen tõused tõuseb tõuseme tõusete tõusevad tõusin tõusid tõusis tõusime tõusite tõusid We have already seen that minema ‘go’ is irregular in the present tense, based on the stem lähe-. It is also irregular in the past: mina läksin sina läksid tema läks I went you went he/she went meie läksime we went teie läksite you went nemad läksid they went Introductions When Estonians introduce each other they generally say Saage tuttavaks, literally ‘Get acquainted’. In a formal setting, the reply might be something like Väga rõõmustav or Väga meeldiv ‘Very delightful’ or ‘Very pleasing’. More about clock times We already know how to express clock times when they express full hours: kell viis, kell seitse and so on. Let us look now at how to express fractions of the hour. The fractions are expressed as part of the next hour, thus: veerand kuus a quarter past five (lit., a quarter of six) pool kaheksa half past seven (lit., half-eight) kolmveerand üks a quarter to one (lit., three-quarters of one) Minutes past the hour can be expressed in two ways: as simply ‘hours and minutes’ or with läbi ‘past’. Thus 4. 10 is kümme minutit neli läbi. But after the half hour, a different expression is used; here we find pärast, which literally means ‘after’, but in clock times actually means ‘short of’: the minutes appear in the genitive. 4. 58 kahe minuti pärast viis ‘after two minutes [it will be] five’; 6. 52 kaheksa minuti Unit 4: In Tartu 47 pärast seitse. ‘What time? ’ is mis kell? ‘What’s the time? ’ is Mis kell on? Cardinal numbers 11–20 and beyond (CD 1; 18) We have already learnt the numbers one to ten (Unit 3, ‘Cardinal numbers’). The numbers from 11 to 19 are formed by adding -teist to the cardinal number: 11 12 13 14 üksteist kaksteist kolmteist neliteist... and so on, up to 20, which is kakskümmend. The other multiples of ten are formed in the same way: kolmkümmend, nelikümmend, viiskümmend and so on. 21 kakskümmend üks 37 kolmkümmend seitse 48 nelikümmend kaheksa and so on (One) hundred is (üks)sada. Numbers above a hundred are constructed along the same lines, with the major elements written separately: 758 is seitsesada viiskümmend kaheksa. (One) thousand is tuhat. Remember that these numbers take the partitive singular of the noun phrase they qualify: sada musta autot kakskümmend üks senti a hundred black cars 21 cents Adverbs Adverbs, the words that are used to describe and qualify the actions or states indicated by verbs, can be divided in Estonian, as they can in English, into two broad types: (1) adverbs that are based on adjectives (‘quickly’, or in Estonian kiiresti) and (2) adverbs that are not based on adjectives (‘now’, or in Estonian nüüd). Many adverbs in Estonian that are formed from adjectives tend to end in -sti or -lt – but note that the stem of the adverb is the genitive stem of the adjective: täpne exact (gen. täpse-) kiire fast (gen. kiire-) täpselt exactly kiiresti quickly 48 Unit 4: Tartus (The adverb varsti, ‘soon’, which we have already met, is actually a contraction of vara- ‘early’ + -sti. ) Exercise 1 (CD 1; 19) Answer the question Mis kell on? 1 2 3 4 9. 00 1. 10 12. 25 7. 13 5 6 7 8 5. 28 6. 30 8. 45 12. 11 Exercise 2 Write out these numbers in words: 1 16 2 84 3 973 4 233 5 1814 6 1992 Exercise 3 Answer the following questions, giving the time in words: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Mis Mis Mis Mis Mis Mis Mis kell kell kell kell kell kell kell te hommikul tõusete?

(5. 20) te magama (= to sleep) lähete? (11. 00) (CD 1; 20) Piret, Tõnu ja Paul vaatavad Tartut The three companions go out into the streets of Tartu. Piret: Paul: Ma pean varsti ülikooli minema, sest mul on seal loeng, mis algab kell kaksteist. Aga mis teil nüüd plaanis on? Mul on veel mitu vaba tundi. Ma jään Tõnuga linna, sest ta tahab linnas veidi ringi vaadata. Piret: Paul: Piret: 49 Jah, me vaatame umbes poolteist tundi linnas ringi, siis sööme lõunat, ja pärast seda on kuni õhtuni (= until the evening) vaba aeg. Mul lõpeb loeng alles kell kolm. Ma ootan teid siis kell veerand neli ülikooli peahoone ees. See on tore; ma tahangi su käest nii palju küsida, ja muidugi ka ise oma esimestest muljetest rääkida. I have to go to the university soon, because I have a lecture there, which starts at twelve o’clock. But what plans do you have? 50 Unit 4: Tartus Paul: I still have a few hours free. I’ll stay with Tõnu in town, because he wants to look around the town a bit. Tõnu: Yes, we’ll look at the town for about an hour and a half, then we’ll have lunch, and after that there’s still free time until the evening. Piret: My lecture doesn’t end until three o’clock. I’ll wait for you, then, at a quarter past three in front of the main building. Paul: That’s great; I do want to ask you so many things, and of course to chat about my first impressions. Vocabulary sest loeng, -u mis, mille algama nüüd plaan, -i mitu jääma vaatama veidi ringi poolteist because lecture what, which begin now plan several, many (+ part. sing. ) stay (+ ill. ) look at a little, a bit around one and a half sööma lõuna, – lõppema, lõpen peahoone, – hoone, – ees = sinu) käest su (= nii palju muidugi esimene, -mese küsima eat lunch end main building building in front of ( postp. ) from you ( postp. ; lit. ‘from your hand’) so much of course first ask The genitive plural minu minu minu minu esimene mulje esimesed muljed esimese mulje esimeste muljete my first impression my first impressions of my first impression of my first impressions Look at the differences in the Estonian phrases given above. The genitive plural can take several forms, one of the most common of which is -te. If the genitive singular of a word ends in -se (such as õpilane > õpilase), then its plural ending will be -ste. And the other cases that are based on the genitive will be formed on the same pattern: -stel for the adessive, -stest for the elative, -stesse for the 51 (long) illative, and so on. Thus we find Tõnu using the phrase oma esimestest muljetest ‘about my first impressions’. (Note that oma ‘my/your/his/her... own’, like the other possessive pronouns, does not take endings. ) Further examples: Piret räägib oma loengutest. Piret speaks about her lectures. Paul tahab oma plaanidest rääkida. Paul wants to talk about his plans. ‘Up to, until’ There is still time until the evening. Õhtuni on veel aega. Yet another of the cases whose ending is based on the genitive stem is the terminative, so-called because it carries the meaning ‘up to’ or ‘until’ some point in time or space. Its ending is always -ni: õhtuni till the evening linnani as far as the town kella kaheni until two o’clock (Notice in this last example the genitive form kella; words that qualify other words that are in the terminative case take the genitive. ) We work until the evening. Meie töötame õhtuni. Meie sõitsime järgmise linnani. We drove as far as the next town. Ta oli ülikoolis hilisööni. She was at the university until late at night. There is also a separate preposition or conjunction meaning ‘until’: kuni, which can be used either preceding noun phrases with -ni like the examples above, or to introduce a clause: Meie töötame kuni õhtuni. We work until the evening. Meie töötame kuni teie tulete. We (shall) work until you come. Prepositions and postpositions You cannot have failed to notice by now that Estonian has many noun cases! There are fourteen in all, and we have now covered 52 Unit 4: Tartus most of them. You will also have noticed that they do the work that prepositions do in English and many other Indo-European languages. But Estonian does also have its own prepositions, of which we have met two so far: pärast ‘after’, and now kuni ‘until’. By far the majority of these separate words indicating relations in time and space are postpositions, however; that is, they come after the noun to which they refer (and whose case they govern). Most postpositions refer to very concrete, specific positions in space, and govern the genitive case: Ma ootan teid peahoone I’ll wait for you in front of the main ees. building. Ma tahan sinu käest nii I want to ask ( from) you (about) palju küsida. so much. Ta tahab veidi linnas ringi He wants to look around the town vaadata. a bit. Strictly speaking, ringi is an adverb rather than a postposition. Exercise 4 Answer these questions: 1 2 3 4 5 Kuhu Piret peab minema? Mida Paul ja Tõnu tahavad näha? Millal lõpeb Pireti loeng? Kus ta on lubanud oodata Pauli ja Tõnut? Kui kaua Paul ja Tõnu vaatavad Tartus ringi? Exercise 5 How would you say in Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 I am going as far as the university. Toomas is waiting in front of the department store. Ago wants to look around the town. Can I ask you about the university? I was travelling until 9. 30. The train was travelling as far as Tartu. Look! They went as far as the main building! Their friend was there[-]to[-]meet[-]them. [one word! ] Their friends were waiting until half past three. 53 Exercise 6 Answer these questions in Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Kes oli vastas, kui Paul ja Tõnu saabusid Tartusse? Mis kell nad hommikul tõusisid? Kuhu pidi Piret minema? Kus ta lubas neid oodata? Mitu minutit enne kella nelja lubas ta oodata? Ja mitu minuti pärast kella kolme lubas ta oodata? Paul ja Tõnu Tartus (CD 1; 21) Kui Pauli ja Tõnu buss tuli Tartusse, oli Piret juba vastas. Kuigi nad tõusid juba kolmveerand seitse hommikul, läks sõit väga hästi. Siis tutvustas ta Piretile oma sõpra Pauli. Pärast seda läksid nad välja ja vaatasid veidi Tartus ringi. Aga siis pidi Piret ülikooli minema ja ta lubas oodata Pauli ja Tõnut peahoone ees kell veerand neli.

Tõnu and Paul arrive to find the whole family at home. Piret meets them at the door. Piret: Tõnu: Paul: Piret: Jaan: Piret: Piret: Tõnu: Paul: Tere õhtust! Astuge sisse! Tere õhtust! Tervist! Saage tuttavaks. See on Jaan Saar, minu onu. Terve pere on täna õhtul kodus. Tundke end nagu kodus! Nad istuvad elutoas ja puhkavad. Onu Jaan istub tugitoolis ja loeb ajalehte. Minu tädi istub teisel toolil ja loeb raamatut. Good evening! Step inside! Good evening! Hello! Unit 5: Visiting Piret Piret: Jaan: Piret: 57 Come and get to know the family.

We encountered one of them in the last lesson: süüa ‘eat’, which takes the form sööma in the -ma infinitive and söö- in the present. Likewise lugeda/lugema changes its vowel and loses its -g- in the present: loen, loed, loeb and so on. Look out for these changes in a few more verbs which we have yet to meet, such as tuua/tooma (toon) ‘bring’, juua/jooma (joon) ‘drink’ and several others. Likewise a few nouns have a different vowel in the genitive stem from the nominative form. One of these is tuba ‘room’, which not only loses its -b- but changes its vowel in the genitive stem: toa. There are others, such as rida (rea) ‘line, row’, viga (vea) ‘fault’ and so on. Other sound changes You may have spotted some other sound changes in the vocabulary that are worth noting, as they occur elsewhere too: -nd-l-h-ne-ht- > > > > > -nn-lg-hk-se-h- perekond/perekonna alata/algama puhata/puhkama teine/teise leht/lehe family (another term for pere) begin rest another newspaper Remember that Estonian is spoken as it is written, so these changes apply to both speech and writing. (CD 1; 23) Answer these questions: 1 2 3 4 5 Kas tädi loeb ajalehte? Kas onu loeb raamatut? Kus onu istub? Kes (= who) tuleb külla (= visiting)?

Minu onu Jaan, siin on mu vana sõber Tõnu ja tema sõber Paul Inglismaalt. Nad tulid täna Tallinnast. Jaan: Väga rõõmustav. Piret: Ja mu tädi Leida. Tõnu: Tere õhtust! Leida: Tere tulemast meie koju. Kas olete juba söönud? Paul: Tänan, oleme küll. Ärge meie pärast muretsege! Leida: Istuge. Saage tuttavaks meie kahe lapsega: Mari, kes istub ja vaatab televiisorit, ja väike Toomas, kes ei ole veel magama läinud. Piret: Mida Toomas teeb? Leida: Ta istub põrandal ja mängib autoga. Piret: Let me introduce you. My uncle Jaan, this is my old friend Tõnu and his friend Paul from England. They came from Tallinn today. Jaan: Pleased to meet you. Piret: And my aunt Leida. Tõnu: Good evening! Leida: Welcome to our home. Have you already eaten? Paul: Thanks, we have. Don’t worry about us! Leida: Sit down. May I introduce our two children: Mari, who is sitting and watching television, and little Toomas, who hasn’t gone to bed yet. Piret: What is Toomas doing? Leida: He’s sitting on the floor playing with a car. Vocabulary vana, – sõber, sõbra rõõmustav, -a väga rõõmustav old friend delightful, pleasing pleased to meet you (quite formal) tere tulemast ärge muretsema pärast welcome don’t (pl. ) worry, care behalf, sake ( postp. ) 60 Unit 5: Pireti juures laps, -e ( part. last) kes, kelle vaatama televiisor, -i väike(ne), väik(e)se child who watch television little magama tegema, teha (teen) põrand, -a mängima auto, – sleep do, make floor play car The perfect tense In the dialogue, Leida asked: Kas olete juba söönud? Have you already eaten? The ‘have + past participle’ form of the verb, otherwise known as the perfect tense, is formed by the appropriate form of the verb ‘to be’ (olema) and the ending -nud, which is common to all verbs. So we can create other examples: Piret on saabunud. Leila on oodanud külalist. Piret has arrived. Leida has been expecting a visitor. Exercise 2 Translate these sentences, based on the dialogue, into Estonian, using the perfect tense: 1 2 3 4 5 They have come from Tallinn. They have been sitting. They have got to know two children. She has been watching television. Toomas has been playing with a car. ‘Don’t’ Ärge meie pärast muretsege! Don’t worry about us! ‘Don’t’ is expressed in Estonian in two different forms, like the positive imperative: singular and plural. The singular form is ära; the plural is ärge. Thus ‘don’t worry’ is ära muretse in the singular 61 (familiar) and ärge muretsege in the plural (formal); the verb forms remain the same as in the positive imperative. More examples: Ära tule sisse! /Ärge tulge sisse! Don’t come inside! Ära mine/Ärge minge! Don’t go! Ära oota/Ärge oodake maja ees! Don’t wait in front of the house! If the verb with a negative imperative has an object, it will take the partitive case, like any negative verb: Ära tee ust lahti! Don’t open the door! (lahti tegema to open, lit. : ‘make open’) Ärge oodake mind! Don’t ( pl., formal) wait for me! (See Unit 7 for all the partitive forms of the pronouns. ) Case endings of adjectives Saage tuttavaks meie kahe May I introduce our two children! lapsega! The ‘non-grammatical’ or prepositional noun cases do not apply to adjectives, which remain in the genitive (stem) form before a noun. One of these is the comitative (-ga), which we met in Unit 3: kahe hea lapsega ‘with two good children’ has the case ending on the noun only. Ta sõitis hilise rongiga. He travelled by the late train. Ma räägin vana sõbraga. I’m talking with an old friend. But if an adjective stands alone, without a noun, it may take one of these endings and act like a noun: Millise rongiga ta sõitis? – What (kind of) train did she travel Hilisega. by? – A late one. ‘What’ Mida sina teed? What are you doing? The partitive of mis ‘what’ is mida. As you can see from the above example, it is also used to refer to the object of the verb, whenever 5/30/08, 16:48 62 Unit 5: Pireti juures the verb has an object. Remember that Estonian does not have a separate accusative (object) case. Mida meie temast teame? What do we know about him? Mida sina loed? What are you reading? Mida sina televiisorist vaatad? What are you watching on (lit. : ‘from’) television? The emphatic particle If we want to add emphasis to a word (usually a verb) or express something that is contrary to expectation, we can use the particle -gi/-ki. It is roughly the same as ‘even’ (when positive) or ‘not even’ (when negative) in English. Whether the form is -gi or -ki will depend on the sound that comes before it: if it is a vowel or -n, the form will be -gi; for most other sounds preceding it, the form will be -ki. Sina saabusidki! Mina käisin Tallinnas, ja Tartuski. Kas sa ei tahagi tulla? You arrived (after all)! I visited Tallinn, and Tartu too. Don’t you even want to come? Exercise 3 Translate into Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 This is my old friend Toomas, who came today. Are you already reading my book? Haven’t you gone to bed yet, little man? Who is sitting and watching television? Welcome to our home! Exercise 4 Give both the singular and plural forms for: 1 2 3 4 Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t come too early! get up tomorrow morning! step inside! read my paper! 63 5 Don’t sit there! Sit here with the two good children! 6 Don’t travel to Tartu with Ago! Stay in Tallinn! Piret kutsub Tõnu ja Pauli sugulaste juurde Piret on täna kutsunud kaks oma sõpra sugulaste juurde.

Exercise 5 Put the nouns in parentheses into appropriate cases: 1 (Tädi) perekond külastab mind sel nädalal. 2 (Vend) maja asub kesklinnas. 66 Unit 5: Pireti juures 3 4 5 6 7 Kas (Tartu) on sageli seesugused ilmad? Kui kaugel see (Tallinn) on? Tema perekond elab (Itaalia). Rong sõidab (Itaalia). Me tulime (kohvik) kaks (tund) tagasi. Unit 6: Days of the week 6 Nädala päevad Days of the week By the end of this unit you should be familiar with: • the nominative plural • the comparative form of the adjective (‘more’, ‘bigger’, etc. ) • the days of the week Pireti nädal (CD 1; 25) Piret’s week Kui Piret elab Saare pere juures Tartus on tal tihe nädal. Nii Saare isa kui ka ema käivad iga päev tööl, sellepärast hoolitseb Piret laste eest kui vaja. Muidugi peab ta ka loengutel käima, ja nii ei ole kerge nädalat planeerida. Mari käib iga päev koolis ja perekonna väike poeg Toomas lasteaias. Praegu istub Piret kirjutuslaua taga ja loeb raamatut. Tõnu ja Paul on linnas. Täna õhtul tahavad nad minna kontserdile. Kirjutuslaual on kalender. Piret vaatab kalendrisse. Mis päev on täna? Täna on esmaspäev. Täna õhtul ta ei ole vaba. Ta peab koju jääma. Homme on teisipäev. Teisipäeviti on tal vaba päev. Siis ta ei lähe ülikooli. Teisipäeva õhtul tulevad laste vanemad vara koju. Ülehomme on kolmapäev, ja kolmapäeval on Piret kogu päeva ülikoolis. Aga kolmapäeva hommikul sõidavad Tõnu ja Paul tagasi Tallinna. Siis tulevad neljapäev, reede ja laupäev, siis on Piretil jälle kiire. Reedel peab ta raamatukokku minema. Võib-olla on pühapäev natuke lahedam. (From now on no English translations will be provided. ) 68 Unit 6: Nädala päevad Vocabulary with ( postp. ) often tight, busy week both... and, as well as käima go, visit, attend iga, – each, every sellepärast therefore öösel at night hoolitsema care (for) eest for ( postp. ) ikka always kerge, – easy planeerima plan poeg, poja son aed, aia garden lasteaed, -aia day nursery praegu now, at the moment pool sageli tihe, -da nädal, -a nii... kui ka kirjutama kirjutuslaud, -laua vaja taga kontsert, -di koos kalender, kalendri esmaspäev, -a teisipäev, -a teisipäeviti üldse öö, – vara ülehomme write desk, writing-table necessary behind ( postp. ) concert together, as well calendar Monday Tuesday on Tuesdays at all night early the day after tomorrow kolmapäev, -a Wednesday kogu, – whole, entire Unit 6: Days of the week neljapäev, -a reede, – laupäev, -a kiire olema 69 Thursday Friday Saturday be busy raamatukogu, – pühapäev, -a lahe, -da library Sunday easy, relaxed, loose The nominative plural In the evening the children’s parents come home. Õhtul tulevad laste vanemad koju. The nominative plural of nouns is used for the plural subjects of verbs in a sentence, and is formed simply by adding -d to the genitive singular stem. For example: tool laud raamat laps vanem õpilane gen. gen. nom. nom. nom. tooli laua raamatu lapse vanema õpilase pl. pl. pl. toolid lauad raamatud lapsed vanemad õpilased chairs tables books children parents students Comparisons Pühapäev on natuke lahedam. Sunday is a little easier. Comparison of adjectives is also based on the genitive stem. The comparative form, corresponding to ‘more’ or ‘-er’ in English, is formed by adding -m to the genitive stem: noor suur väike lahe gen. gen. noore suure väikese laheda comp. comp. comp. noorem suurem väiksem lahedam noorema suurema väiksema lahedama younger bigger smaller calmer But some adjectives (not all) ending in -a change this -a to -e in the comparative: vana pikk gen. vana comp. vanem gen. vanema gen. pika comp. pikem gen. pikema older longer 70 Unit 6: Nädala päevad ‘Than’ in comparisons is expressed by the word kui. Examples: Mu poeg on noorem kui mu tütar. Tartusse on pikem reis kui Pärnusse. Minu isa on vanem kui sinu isa. My son is younger than my daughter. It’s a longer trip to Tartu than to Pärnu. My father is older than your father. (CD 1; 26) Fill in the missing half of this telephone conversation. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 A. : B. : A. : __________ Kas Peeter kuuleb?

Unit 7: A birthday 7 Sünnipäev A birthday By the end of this unit you should: • be familiar with partitive forms of pronouns • be able to express prices of goods • be able to read and understand a train timetable (CD 1; 30) Küllakutse Tõnu invites Piret to his birthday party back in Tallinn. Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret, kas sa oled pühapäeva õhtul vaba? Olen küll. Palun tule minu poole. Mul on pühapäeval sünnipäev. Aitäh. Tänan kutsumast. Mis kell ma tulen? Tule kell kuus. Kas see sobib sulle? Sobib küll. Aga ma ei tea, kus sa elad. Ma elan Narva maanteel, maja number 156, korter 15. 5/30/08, 16:49 76 Unit 7: Sünnipäev Piret: Oota, ma kirjutan üles. Narva maantee 156, korter 15. Kuidas ma sinu juurde sõidan? Tõnu: Sõida trammiga number 3 Kadrioru peatuseni. Piret: Veelkord suur aitäh. Ma tulen kindlasti. Tõnu: Hästi, ma ootan sind. Vocabulary birthday suit, fit town in northeast Estonia kirjutama üles write down (lit. : ‘up’) tramm, -i tram peatus, -e stop veel still, yet Kadriorg, -oru park in Tallinn sünnipäev, -a sobima Narva, – maa, – tee, – maantee, – korter, -ri kord veelkord kindel, kindla kindlasti land road highway flat once once more sure, certain surely, certainly Object forms of the pronouns I’ll wait for you. Ma ootan sind. We encountered the partitive case of nouns in Unit 2. The word sind in this sentence is the partitive form of the pronoun sina ‘you’. It appears in the partitive case here because the verb ootama ‘wait (for)’ requires that case, as do many other verbs. The partitive forms of all the personal pronouns are: mind sind teda seda me you him/her it meid teid neid us you them To express the idea of someone or something ‘not being present’, we use these partitive forms with the negative verb particle ei: Teda ei ole praegu siin. She’s not here/just now. Mind homme ei ole siin, mul on vaba päev. I won’t be here tomorrow, I have the day off. Estonian has no future tense, and usually the present is used to express the future. 77 Exercise 1 How would you say in Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 I waited for you until half past eight. She went as far as the bus stop. Are you (pl. ) waiting for me? Did you (sing. ) expect me at a quarter to four? I waited for you until a quarter past four. You can wait for me, but I won’t be coming here. I’m not expecting her, and she isn’t here either. (CD 1; 31) Piret läheb poodi As everywhere else in modern Europe, most people in Estonia do their shopping in supermarkets. The opportunities for conversation and making use of your active language skills are not great in a supermarket, but in some places you can still buy fresh local produce from markets – and practise your language skills. Piret has chosen a market to do her shopping for the Saar family. She has a long shopping list. Müüja: Piret: Müüja: Piret: Müüja: Piret: Müüja: Piret: Müüja: Piret: Müüja: Piret: Müüja: Järgmine, palun. Mida teile? Palun üks leib, kaks liitrit piima ja kolmsada grammi juustu. Kas see on kõik?

The sent denominations were and still are coins, while the kroon denominations were banknotes. This was also Estonia’s currency during its period of independence from 1918 to 1940. During Soviet times, of course, and up to 1992, the rouble and kopek were the units of currency. Prices written in figures are expressed with a dot between the euro and the sent amounts: 5. 85 = 5 (eurot) 85 (senti). A change to the euro is expected some time after 2008. 79 Exercise 2 Here is some extra food shopping vocabulary: kala, – fish tükk, tüki item, piece, apiece, each kurk, kurgi cucumber sibul, -a porgand, -i kartul, -i onion carrot potato Answer these questions: 1 Kala maksab 2. 50 eurot kilo.

Dialogue 3 (CD 1; 32) Tõnu sünnipäev Piret arrives at Tõnu’s address in Tallinn and knocks on the door. He opens it. Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Tere, Piret! Astu sisse! Sa oled ju mu esimene külaline. Muud külalised ei ole veel tulnud. Oi, milline uhke korter sul on! Siin võib väga suure sünnipäevapeo pidada! Jah, mul on ruumikas korter, aga mööblit pole piisavalt. Nagu näed, on mul vaja veel mõnda tooli ja suuremat lauda. Mu vanemad lubasid mulle mööbli osta. Aga Piret, sul on veel mantel seljas! Võta mantel maha ja ma panen selle riidepuule. 80 Unit 7: Sünnipäev The doorbell rings. Tõnu opens it to greet his friends Riho and Helvi. Helvi: Riho: Helvi: Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Palju õnne sünnipäevaks, Tõnu! Tõime sulle ka väikese kingi. Ja palun, lilled sulle! Oh, tänan väga. Aga Piret, siin on mu vanad sõbrad Riho ja Helvi.

When Piret gets up, Leida has already been up for a while. Piret: Sa oled juba nii vara üleval? Leida: Jah, ma tõusin kolmveerand tundi tagasi. Ma pean täna riideid pesema. Mul on puhas pesu peaaegu otsas. Kas sa võiksid mind pesupesemisel aidata? Piret: Jah, heameelega. Leida: Siin on viis särki, neli alussärki, viis paari sokke, paar Tsärki ja kolm taskurätikut! Kas sul on ka midagi pesta anda? Piret: Mul praegu musta pesu ei ole. Aga mu kleit on õmblusest pisut lahti. Leida: Kas sa ise oskad õmmelda? Piret: Jah, aga mul ei ole masinat. Ma viin kleidi õmbleja juurde. Leida: Jaani halli ülikonda on ka tarvis puhastada. Kui me linna läheme, siis ma võtan selle ka kaasa. Tal on seda juba ülehomseks vaja. Unit 8: Piret has things to do 83 Vocabulary asju ajama üleval pesema täna meie riie, -de mu = minu puhas, puhta pesu, – peaaegu ots, -a otsas aidata heameelega särk, särgi alus, -e alussärk, -särgi paar, -i sokk, soki tasku, – rätik, -u taskurätik, -u must, -a kleit, kleidi õmblus, -e pisut lahti ise, enda oskama õmblema masin, -a viima hall, -i ülikond, -konna tarvis olema puhastama kaasa vaja do errands, attend to business up, awake wash today our garment, fabric my clean linen, underwear; washing, laundry almost end at an end, used up, finished help willingly, with pleasure (hea + meele + ga) shirt ground, base, foundation vest, undershirt pair sock pocket kerchief handkerchief black; dirty dress sewing; seam slightly, a little loose, torn, unstuck (my-/your-/her-/him-... ) self know how, be able to sew machine carry, take grey suit be necessary, needed clean (along) with necessary, needed 84 Making verbs into nouns We saw in the train timetable vocabulary at the end of the previous lesson the words saabumine ‘arrival’ and väljumine ‘departure’. These are gerunds or noun forms derived from the stems of the verbs saabuma ‘arrive’ and väljuma ‘depart’ respectively. In the dialogue above we see that these forms ending in -mine can be declined like any other similar noun: pesta ‘wash’ > pesemine, pesemise‘washing’. Change of state Tal on seda juba ülehomseks He needs it for the day after vaja. tomorrow. (Lit. ‘on him is already for the-day-after-tomorrow need’) The translative case has the characteristic ending -ks added to the genitive stem. As its name implies, it is used to indicate a change of state: Pesu on saanud mustaks. The linen has got dirty. Mu riided hakkavad vanaks jääma. My clothes are getting old. Ta õpib õpetajaks. She is studying to become a teacher. But the translative case can also be used with time expressions to indicate ‘for’ or ‘to’ or ‘by’ some occasion or time: in time phrases it can denote the end-point or the duration. For example, when Piret visits Tõnu on his birthday she might wish him Palju õnne sünnipäevaks ‘much happiness for (your) birthday’. In the dialogue above, Leida said Tal on vaja seda ülehomseks ‘He needs it for the day after tomorrow. ’ Läheme üheks nädalaks. We’ll go for a week. But: Läheme järgmisel nädalal. We’ll go next week. Ma jään ööseks siia. I’m staying here for the night. Note the special adjectival form of öö, and that jääma takes the illative case. 85 Palun saage tuttavaks. ‘May I introduce... ’ (lit. : ‘please become acquaintances’) (CD 2; 2) Substitute the phrases below for the one in the model: Ta läheb järgmiseks neljapäevaks Tallinna.

Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: Ma olen nii palju Tartus ringi käinud, et ma tunnen iga tänavat. Aga Tallinnas olen veel võõras, ja eksin siin kergemini ära. Piret, kas sul on aega postkontorisse kaasa tulla? On küll, muidugi! Lähme koos sinna! Kas sul on postkaardid valmis? Olen nad juba kirjutanud, aga mul on vaja marke. Minul on ka asja postkontorisse. Ma pean ühe panderolli Saksamaale saatma. Postkontor on üsna lähedal, see on nurga pealt kolmas maja. At the post office: Paul: Kui palju maksab postkaardi saatmine Inglismaale? Müüja: Kas lennu või tavalise postiga? Paul: Lennupostiga. Müüja: Nelikümmend viis senti. Mitu marki teil vaja on? Paul: Palun mulle kolm marki. 87 Piret takes her turn after Paul. Piret: Tere. Ma sooviksin selle panderolli Saksamaale saata. Müüja: Kui palju see kaalub? Piret: Ma ei tea. Panen selle kaalu peale. Müüja: Seitsesada viiskümmend grammi. Kas tähitud või lihtpanderoll? Piret: Tähitud palun. Müüja: See maksab neli eurot ja viiskümmend senti. Palun kirjutage aadress peale. Piret and Paul are ready to go, but: Paul: Ma märkasin, et siit saab kaugekõnesid votta. Ma sooviksin koju helistada, aga ma unustasin oma mobiiltelefoni Tartusse. Oota üks hetk, ja ma käin helistamas.

The ablative case Postkontor on nurga pealt kolmas maja. The laundry is the third building from the corner. The ablative case carries the basic meaning ‘from’ and has the characteristic ending -lt. Although both the elative and the ablative occasionally correspond to the English preposition ‘from’, the fundamental difference between them is that the elative (-st) implies coming ‘out of’ an interior, whereas the ablative (-lt) refers to contact with a surface or place. Noun cases that refer to physical positions in space we call ‘local’ cases. The concepts of what are called the ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ local cases are perhaps difficult to visualize, and they do not correspond to prepositional use in English, but it will help if we group the six ‘local’ cases together, now that we have encountered them all: Illative Inessive Elative -sse -s -st ‘into’ ‘in’ ‘out of’ Allative Adessive Ablative -le -l -lt ‘to’ ‘on’ ‘from’ Again it must be stressed that the English prepositions are not equivalents at all, but only a very rough guide to their meaning. Proper use of the local cases can only come with practice. But these cases need not always refer only to spatial position. The ablative case is used when something comes ‘from’ a person: Terviseid härra Valgrelt! ‘Greetings from Mr Valgre! ’; Terviseid härra Valgrele! ‘Greetings to Mr Valgre! ’; Rääkisime härra Valgrest. ‘We were talking about Mr Valgre. ’ Võta laualt ‘take from the table’; küsi õpetajalt ‘ask (from) the teacher’; rääkisime muusikast ‘we were talking about music’. Ordinal numbers 89 (CD 2; 5) The ordinal numbers from 1 to 10 are: esimene, esimese teine, teise kolmas, kolmanda neljas, neljanda viies, viienda first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth ninth tenth kuues, kuuenda seitsmes, seitsmenda kaheksas, kaheksanda üheksas, üheksanda kümnes, kümnenda The subjunctive/conditional form of the verb Ma sooviksin selle panderolli I’d like to send this printed paper Saksamaale saata. to Germany. The marker of the subjunctive or conditional mood of the verb in Estonian is -ks. This is added to the present tense stem whenever a hypothetical state or action is implied, as we use ‘would’ in English. In fact it is more commonly used in Estonian than we use ‘would’ in English. And whereas in some languages there is a distinction between the subjunctive (used in main clauses with ‘would’ in English) and the conditional (used in ‘if’ clauses) there is no such distinction in Estonian. The personal endings are otherwise much like the present tense ones: -ksin, -ksid, -ks, -ksime, -ksite, -ksid. The personal endings are often omitted in colloquial speech; -ks can be heard for all persons. See oleks võimalik. It would be possible. Ma tahaksin ka tulla. I would like to come too. Sooviksin osta uut televiisorit. I would like to buy a new television set. Tahaksin oma tütrele head haridust. I would like a good education for my daughter. It is also used in conditional clauses when kui means ‘if’: Me õpiksime inglise keelt, kui see oleks võimalik. We would learn English if it were possible. Sa sõidaksid Eestisse, kui sul oleks raha. You would travel to Estonia if you had the money. 90 The comparative form of the adverb Kas ma võiksin seda varem kätte saada? Could I collect it earlier? The comparative form of the adverb ends, like the comparative adjective, in -(e)m: varem ‘earlier’, hiljem ‘later’. For adverbs of manner, we use the adverb ending -alt in cases like odavamalt ‘more cheaply’, mugavamalt ‘more comfortably’ and so on. Eksin siin kergemini ära. I get lost here more easily. For more about the comparison of adverbs see p. 104. Months of the year (Kuud aastas) The names of the months are: jaanuar mai september veebruar juuni oktoober märts juuli november aprill august detsember The word kuu ‘month’ is sometimes found added to the genitive forms of their names, like this: jaanuarikuu veebruarikuu märtsikuu aprillikuu maikuu juunikuu juulikuu augustikuu septembrikuu oktoobrikuu novembrikuu detsembrikuu ‘In’ a month is expressed with the inessive case: detsembri(kuu)s ‘in December’. But dates are expressed with the adessive: kolmandal detsembril ‘on third December’; kahekümne viiendal aprillil ‘on 25th April’; seitsmeteistkümnendal augustil ‘on 17th August’; kolmeteistkümnendal veebruaril ‘on 13th February’; kolmekümnendal jaanuaril ‘on 30th January’.

Me tahame koju minna. Kas te sõidate linna? Tema pesu saab mustaks. Sa maksad talle liiga palju. Ma tunnen seda meest hästi. Reading passage Piret läks koos Pauliga linna, sest Paulil oli vaja postkaarte saata. Paul küsis müüjalt, kui palju maksab kaardi saatmine Inglismaale. Müüja ütles, et see maksab nelikümmend viis senti. Ka Piretil oli asja postkontorisse. Tema soovis tähitud panderolli Saksamaale saata. Müüja palus panderolli kaaluda. See kaalus 750 grammi, ja maksis 4. 50 eurot. Siis käis Paul kaugekõnet helistamas.

What did the passer-by tell you to do? You can work it out with the help of the glossary at the end of the book. Unit 9: Piret ostab riideid 9 Piret ostab riideid Piret buys clothes By the end of this unit you should: • • • • know the past active participle (‘I have spoken’) know the superlative form of the adjective know how to form the genitive plural of nouns acquire some more shopping vocabulary Piret läheb riideid ostma Piret goes shopping for clothes (CD 2; 7) Piretil ei ole Tartus nii palju riideid kui kodus Tallinnas. Sellepärast on ta otsustanud minna riideid ostma. Ta püüab alati riietuda vastavalt olukorrale. Kui ta talvel välja läheb, paneb ta selga talvemantli, pähe paneb mütsi, kaela salli, jalga talvesaapad ja kätte soojad kindad. Kui ilmad soojemaks lähevad, piisab kevadmantlist või jakist. Tema ülikoolikaaslased käivad riides üsna lihtsalt. Tüdrukutel on seljas kas pluusid ja seelikud või kleidid, poistel püksid, särgid ja kampsunid. Vocabulary otsustama ostma alati püüdma, püüan riietuma decide buy always try dress (oneself) answer, correspond corresponding correspondingly, accordingly olukord, -korra situation, condition panema put vastama vastav vastavalt 5/30/08, 16:50 Unit 9: Piret buys clothes selg, selja panema selga (ill. of selg) mantel, -tli panema pähe (ill. of pea) müts, -i kael, -a sall, -i jalg, jala saabas, saapa soe, sooja kinnas, kinda ilm, -a 95 back put on (of clothes and headgear) coat put on (of head-gear) cap, hat neck scarf foot, leg boot warm glove, mitten weather minema, lähen piisama kevad, -e jakk, jaki kaaslane, -lase üsna lihtne, -sa kas... või pluus, -i seelik, -u püksid, pükste kampsun, -i get, become suffice, be enough (+ elat. ) spring jacket companion, mate fairly, quite simple either... or blouse skirt trousers cardigan The past participle Ta on otsustanud minna riideid ostma. She’s decided to go and buy some clothes. Whereas in English we say ‘I have spoken’, ‘you have waited’, ‘he has invited’, in Estonian we use the present tense of the verb ‘to be’ and the past participle -nud added to the stem of the -da infinitive: I have spoken you have waited s/he has invited mina olen rääkinud sina oled oodanud tema on kutsunud Likewise: Piret has decided s/he has bought we have come Piret on otsustanud tema on ostnud meie oleme tulnud Note also that in the last two examples (ostnud, tulnud) there is no intervening vowel before the ending -nud. The seasons The names of the four seasons (aastaajad) are: talv winter, kevad spring, suvi summer, sügis autumn. 96 Verbs governing other verbs: more about the -ma infinitive In Unit 3 we were introduced to what we called the ‘second infinitive’ of the verb, with the characteristic ending -ma. We discussed it in connection with the auxiliary verb pidama ‘to have to’, which always governs it. But other verbs can also govern the ‘second infinitive’. The ending -ma carries a meaning roughly similar to ‘(in order) to’ + infinitive in English, in cases where it is governed by verbs expressing movement (minema, tulema, jääma, sõitma, reisima and so on) and tends to come at the end of the clause, after its object. For example, in the passage above, we read: she’s decided to go and buy some clothes ta on otsustanud minna riideid ostma Note how the verb ostma comes after its object, riideid. Many verbs govern other verbs which take the -ma ending. The common one which we have already encountered is pidama in the sense of ‘have to’: Ta peab püüdma. S/he has to try. Me peame nüüd minema. We have to go now. Other common verbs that govern -ma are hakkama ‘begin, start’ and panema ‘put’ (in the sense of ‘force/make’): Hakkan laulma. I(’ll) start to sing. Ta paneb mind õppima. She makes me learn. Other verbs that govern others ending in -ma do so in a sense much closer to the English ‘in order to’: Ta läks riideid ostma. S/he went (in order) to buy some clothes. More about the genitive plural: cases based on it We learned the genitive (or possessive) singular form of the noun in our very first unit, and in Unit 4 we saw that the characteristic ending of the genitive plural of nouns is -te or -de, usually added to the genitive singular stem: Unit 9: Piret buys clothes plaan poiss tüdruk plan boy girl 97 gen. plaani poisi tüdruku gen. plaanide poiste tüdrukute The same applies in general to adjectives: big long old suur, suure, suurte pikk, pika, pikkade vana, vana, vanade Those other cases which derive from the genitive stem behave similarly in the plural: See on tüdrukute kool. This is the girls’ school. Tüdrukutel on kool. The girls have a school. Vanade linnade kauplused on meeldivad. The shops of old towns are pleasant. Vanades linnades on meeldivad kauplused. There are pleasant shops in old towns. (CD 2; 8) Mõnikord riietub Piret natuke pidulikumalt: ta paneb selga näiteks kostüümi. Tal on kombeks öelda, et ta nõrkuseks on kingad. Neid on Piretil küll palju rohkem, kui tarvis oleks. Tal on vist kümmekond paari. Aga see, missugusest kangast riided talle kõige rohkem meeldivad, sõltub olukorrast. Kui võimalik, eelistab ta puuvillaseid ja villaseid riideid. 98 Vocabulary mõnikord pidu, peo pidulik, -u näide, näite näiteks kostüüm, -i komme, kombe king, -a nõrk, nõrga nõrkus, -e eelistama sometimes feast, festivity, party solemn, festive, formal example, instance for example women’s two-piece dress suit habit, custom shoe weak weakness prefer, favour cotton tree woollen wool more (comp. of palju) (also:) than probably, maybe (mul on vist = I must have) kümmekond about ten, ten or so missugune, -se what kind of kangas, -ga cloth, fabric meeldima please, appeal to sõltuma depend olukord, -korra situation puuvill, -a puu, – villane, -lase vill, -a rohkem kui vist The superlative form of the adjective Missugune kangas on kõige soojem? Which fabric is warmest? The superlative form of the adjective is formed simply by adding kõige before the comparative form: rohkem more kõige rohkem most suur vana ilus much, many big old beautiful suurem vanem ilusam kõige suurem kõige vanem kõige ilusam hea good parem bigger older more beautiful better palju Lea on kõige ilusam tüdruk. kõige parem biggest oldest most beautiful best Lea is the most beautiful girl. Villane on kõige soojem kangas. Wool is the warmest fabric. Tallinn on Eesti kõige suurem linn. Tallinn is the biggest town in Estonia. Mart on kõige parem poiss. Mart is the best boy. The superlative form with kõige usually takes the ending ‘vowel plus -im’. For some adjectives a separate form without kõige, ending in -am, can be used optionally: Unit 9: Piret buys clothes 99 Mart on parim poiss, keda ma tean. Mart is the best boy I know. The genitive stem of these superlative forms is -(i)ma-, from which the nominative plural is formed. Meie linnas on ilusaimad or kõige ilusamad tüdrukud. The most beautiful girls are in our town. Tallinnas on Eesti kõige kõrgeimad ehitised. The tallest buildings in Estonia are in Tallinn. Milliseid on parimad or kõige paremad ravimid? Which are the best medicines? Adjectives ending in -ne We have already met a number of adjectives ending in -ne (gen. -se), such as esimene ‘first’, järgmine ‘next’. Many adjectives can be formed from nouns using the same ending: talv ‘winter’, talvine ‘winter’ (adj. ); puu ‘tree’, ‘wood’, puine ‘wooden’, ‘stiff’; vill ‘wool’, villane ‘woollen’. Mulle meeldib talvine linn. I like the town in winter. Villane kangas on soe. Woollen fabric is warm. Exercise 1 How would you say in Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 The blouse has got dirty.

They are taking her nephew and niece, Toomas and Mari, out for a walk. Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Mari: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Siin Tartus on sügiseti tuul väga vinge. Jah, aga Tallinnas, kus kirdetuul puhub Soome lahelt, on tuul veel vingem. Sügis on ilus aastaaeg, aga oleks palju kenam, kui vihma ei sajaks. Aga vihmata poleks see ju sügis. Varsti hakkab lund sadama. Talv tuleb varsti. Seegi oleks meeldiv aastaaeg, kui poleks nii käredat pakast. Piret, mul on külm! Paneme sulle salli kaela. Täna on külm tuul. Minu meelest on nii tore, kui saab suusatada ja uisutada. Mina uisutan hea meelega järvel. Aga päevad on talvel liiga lühikesed! Õhk on külm, ja päike paistab päeval ainult mõne tunni. Talveõhtud Unit 10: Weather and the seasons Toomas: Piret: Toomas: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: 103 on pimedad ja ööd on pikad. Oi! Toomas kukkus maha! Piret, miks ma pean kummikutega käima? Ma ei taha kummikuid. Kas sul on kummikutega raske käia? On. Aga kummikud peavad jalas olema, sest täna on paha ilm. Muidu sa saad märjaks! No, mis aastaaeg siis sinu meelest kõige kenam on? Mulle meeldib kõige rohkem suvi. Suvi on Eestis nii ilus, ja suvel saab puhata. Mina käin puhkusel Pärnus, või Haapsalus, mere ääres, kus saab soojas vees ujuda. Jah, aga mulle meeldib kevad veel rohkem. Pärast pikka pimedat talve ärkab loodus unest ja ilm muutub soojemaks. Ka kevade värvid on minu meelest kõige kaunimad. Aga vaata nüüd sügise värve! Kas kevad võiks olla veel parem!

It would be nicer if it didn’t rain. (Lit. : ‘if rain didn’t fall’) Ei oleks kenam, kui vihma sajaks. It wouldn’t be more beautiful if it rained. The partitive of words ending in -ne See oleks meeldiv aastaaeg, kui ei oleks nii käredat pakast. It would be a pleasant season if there weren’t such a sharp frost. Adjectives and nouns ending in -ne in the nominative, -se in the genitive, generally have the ending -st in the partitive: pakane, pakase, pakast; talvine, talvise, talvist and so on. The superlative form of the adverb Suvi on kõige parem aastaaeg. Summer is the best season. Mulle meeldib suvi kõige rohkem. I like summer best of all. In Estonian we usually get the adverb from the adjective by adding either -sti or -lt to the genitive stem (sometimes both variants are possible): halb ‘bad’, genitive halva > adverb halvasti ‘badly’; vinge ‘piercing’, genitive vinge, adverb vingelt ‘piercingly’. The adverb answers the question ‘how’? There are also some words that belong to the class of adverbs that are not derived from adjectives, and so don’t have these characteristic endings, such as palju ‘much’, vähe ‘little’. The usual way of getting comparative and superlative forms from adverbs is either by omitting the ending -sti/-lt and adding the ending -mini to the genitive stem of the adjective; when the last letter of the stem is -a, it changes to -e (halvasti > halvemini ‘worse’); or in the case of adverbs ending in -lt, they may be derived from the 105 comparative degree of the adjective, taking its genitive stem and adding -lt (vinge > vingelt; comparative of adjective vingem, genitive vingema, comparative of adverb vingemalt). The superlative is formed, as with adjectives, by adding kõige before the comparative form. Tuul puhub vingelt. The wind blows sharply. Tuul puhub veel vingemalt. The wind is blowing even more sharply. Soome lahelt puhub tuul kõige vingemalt. From the Gulf of Finland the wind blows most sharply. Piret käib kiiresti. Piret walks quickly. Tõnu käib kiiremini. Tõnu walks more quickly. Mina käin kõige kiiremini. I walk the most quickly. The exceptions palju and vähe have the following comparative and superlative forms: palju – rohkem – kõige rohkem; vähe – vähem – kõige vähem. The abessive case Aga vihmata poleks see ju sügis. But after all it wouldn’t be autumn without rain. (ju = after all) The abessive case is the last of the Estonian cases we have to learn. It has the meaning ‘without’ and is formed by adding -ta to the genitive stem: vihmata ‘without rain’; tuuleta ‘without wind’. ‘Without’ can also be expressed by the preposition ilma, but even here the abessive case is used: ilma vihmata and so on. The case can be used, of course, with names as well as nouns: Nad lähevad linna (ilma) Piretita. They are going to town without Piret. Ma ei tahaks olla koduta. I wouldn’t want to be without a home. Exercise 1 Form the comparative and superlative degrees of the following adjectives: huvitav (interesting), igav (dull, boring), ilus (beautiful), kaunis (pretty), kuulus (famous), paks (paksu: thick, fat), pilvine (cloudy), 106 Unit 10: Ilm ja aastaajad raske (difficult, heavy), suur (big), tuuline (windy), tähtis (tähtsa: important), uus (new), vaba (free). Exercise 2 Translate into Estonian: 1 If I had known that you were (= are) coming to Tallinn, I would have come to meet you (= vastu). 2 I would have liked to travel to Finland for the summer, but it’s already autumn. 3 If you had not invited us to visit, we would have gone to the seaside. 4 We would give a lot if we could talk with you ( pl. ). 5 It would not be autumn if it didn’t rain. 6 In Estonia the summer days are long and the winter days are short. 7 I’d like (= Paluksin) two coffees and a cream cake. Exercise 3 Here is a weather forecast for a day in early spring from an Estonian newspaper, translated into English. Translate it into Estonian. The vocabulary you will need is either in the passage above or in the glossary at the back of the book. Don’t forget that Estonian word order is freer than English, and that there is no future tense in Estonian; just use the present tense. Words expressing compass directions can often be combined as one word with the noun they qualify. There’s a flavour of Spring in the air 1 In the week that has begun (‘in the begun week’) low-pressure systems moving over the British Isles from the Atlantic are forming in the weather of Northern Europe. These will carry rainclouds in an easterly direction, where however the mountain range of Scandinavia will make an end to their rapid movement; few of them (vähesed) will pass over the mountains. Estonia will remain on the southeastern edge of the low-pressure systems and rainclouds will occasionally move over us. Southerly winds will carry warm air to us and 107 Postimees, 5. 3. 2007 (permission granted) 108 Unit 10: Ilm ja aastaajad although at the beginning of the week some snow and sleet may still fall, in the second half of the week the precipitation will come mainly as rain (vihmana). 2 Today the cloudiness will disperse. In northeast Estonia some light snow will come towards morning. Notes: 1 Partitive case of ‘flavour’, and in the text, use partitive where ‘some’ occurs in English. 2 This form will be explained in the next lesson.

Tõnu: Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Homme peame me tagasi Tallinna sõitma. Kas sa, Piret, tuleksid meiega poodi kaasa? Hea meelega. Mida te tahate osta? Ma ostaksin endale paari kingi. Lähme siis kingapoodi. The three go together to the shoe shop. Piret: Tõnu: Paul: Tõnu: Piret: Paul: Mis number kingi sa kannad? Ma ei ole päris kindel. Su number võiks olla ehk nelikümmend, aga sul on lai jalg. Võib-olla need kingad sobivad mulle. Ära neid proovigi! Need on liiga kitsad. Aga kahjuks ei ole neil laiemaid musti kingi. Need pruunid on laiemad. Need peaksid sulle sobima. Proovi neid. 5/30/08, 16:51 Unit 11: Shopping 111 Tõnu: Jah, need on parajad. Kui palju need maksavad? Müüja: Kolmkümmend kaheksa eurot. Vocabulary pood, poe soovima päris kandma täpne, -se ehk shop, store wish completely, absolutely (here:) wear exact perhaps lai, -a proovima kitsas, kitsa kahju, – kahjuks paras, paraja broad, wide test, try (on) narrow, tight harm, damage unfortunately suitable, fitting, right Forms of the partitive plural We learned something about the forms of the partitive singular of nouns in Unit 3. You have now met the partitive plural forms of the noun on several occasions, including the dialogue above, and you will have seen that they can take several different forms. The partitive plural ending is one of the more difficult to predict or identify, so it may be of some use here to summarize its characteristic endings: -i -e -u (king > kingi) (särk > särke) (vana > vanu) -(a)id (ilus > ilusaid) -si (üliõpilane > üliõpilasi) -sid (pidu > pidusid) There are very complex rules for ascertaining what the partitive plural ending of any noun will be, but you should not be expected to learn these rules by heart. Some words even have two alternative partitive plural forms, such as kool: koole or koolisid. Where there are two forms, the shorter one is usually preferred. These rules are set out here as a summary: 1 If the first vowel (or diphthong) of the stem is a, ei or äi and the genitive singular ends in -a (such as vana), then the partitive plural ending will be -u (vanu). 2 If the first vowel of the stem is not one of the above and the genitive singular ends in -a (such as korra, nom. kord), then the partitive plural ending will be -i (kordi). 112 Unit 11: Poes 3 Otherwise the first vowel of the stem is irrelevant. If the genitive singular ends in -e (keele, nom. keel), then the partitive plural ending will be -i (keeli). 4 If the genitive singular ends in -i (reisi, nom. reis), then the partitive plural ending will be -e (reise). 5 If the genitive singular ends in -u (arvu, nom. arv), then the partitive plural ending will be -e (arve). The above rules apply to most of the nouns which have two syllables in the genitive singular. But the complexities don’t end here! As you will see from the forms korra and kordi, consonant grades also have to be taken into account. Additionally, the question of whether other nouns will take -(a)id, -si or -sid is subject to even more complex rules, which it would be pointless to go into here. But as a general rule, the form of the genitive singular will help you to guess the partitive plural form. The partitive plural is used: 1 To express quantity: palju inimesi ‘a lot of people’ (inimene, inimese ‘person’). 2 ‘Some’, ‘any’: Kahjuks pole meil musti kingi ‘Unfortunately we don’t have any black shoes’; meil on ilusaid kindaid ‘we have beautiful gloves’. 3 ‘One of’: see on üks kaunimaid maid ‘this is one of the most beautiful countries’. 4 What is perceived as the ‘partial object’: Palun andke mulle ka särke ‘Please give me some shirts too’. The partial object may be: 1 The object of any verb in the negative (for example: ma ei leia oma kindaid ‘I can’t find my gloves’; leida find). 2 An uncountable or indefinite object or substance (for example: me peame kohe kingi ostma ‘we have to buy (some) shoes straight away’. 3 The object of certain verbs that are considered as processes rather than momentary actions (often corresponding to the English progressive form that ends in -ing) (for example: nad kandsid raskeid pakke ‘they were carrying heavy packages’). 4 The object of a verb of feeling or perceiving (for example: ma nägin oma sõpru kohvikus ‘I saw my friends in the café’). Note that the partitive plural form of the comparative adjective ends in -aid: nendel ei ole laiemaid ‘they don’t have any wider ones’. 113 ‘Also/too’ We already know that ka means ‘also’. There is another way of expressing much the same idea in Estonian: by using the particle -gi/ -ki. This particle can be added to virtually any word to add further emphasis: here we find it added to minul. Minulgi on thus means ‘I also have’. (We could also say minul ongi, but that would mean ‘I do have’, adding emphasis to the word to which it is attached. ) In negative sentences, -gi/-ki carries the sense of ‘not even’ or ‘not... either’. Look at these examples: Temal ongi auto. He does have a car (after all). Temal on autogi. He has a car as well. Temalgi on auto. Even he has a car. Temal ei olegi auto. He doesn’t have a car (after all). But there is a special word ega for ‘nor’ which is used to negate a whole clause: Nor does he have a car/And he doesn’t have a car either. Ega temal ole auto. The rules for whether it takes the form -gi or -ki are not the same as those for the second person singular imperative -ge/-ke above. It takes the form -ki when the letter preceding the ending is g, b, d, k, p, t, s, h, f or sˇ; in all other cases it is -gi. ‘Don’t even... ’ In the dialogue, Piret exclaims Ära neid proovigi! ‘Don’t even try them on! ’ Note how the emphatic ending -gi/-ki can be used in the negative imperative to mean ‘don’t even’. (CD 2; 11) Teistes poodides They visit some other shops. Piret: Paul: Ma pean ka apteeki minema, ja seejärel pagari juurde. Kas tulete koos minuga? Jah, hea meelega tulen. Mida me pagariärist toome? 114 Unit 11: Poes Piret: Tõnu: Piret: Paul: Ma mõtlesin, et oleks tore, kui ostaksin tordi. Kas viime tordi koju? Jah, ja selle juurde joome teed või kohvi, eks ole? Hea küll, aga lähme koju alles siis, kui oleme kõik ostud teinud. Tõnu: Ma tahaksin ka raamatupoes käia. Olen kuulnud, et siin Tartus on häid raamatupoode. Piret: Käime siis ka seal. Selle kõrval on õnneks hea riidekauplus. Võib-olla ma leian sealt endale mingi seeliku, eks ole? Vocabulary apteek, -teegi chemist’s shop seejärel after that pagar, -i baker tort, tordi eks ole? kaup, kauba cake isn’t that so? commodity, item (of goods) Tag questions Jah, ja selle juurde joome teed või kohvi, eks ole? Yes, and we’ll drink tea or coffee with it, won’t we? These questions are actually statements that have been turned into questions by the addition of little phrases which we call tag questions. The phrase eks ole is rather like English tag questions of the type ‘isn’t it? ’, ‘don’t you? ’, ‘hasn’t she? ’ It can also be shortened to merely eks. We use it when we are expecting agreement. Te laulate, eks ole? You sing, don’t you? Ta kannab ilusaid riideid, eks? She wears nice clothes, doesn’t she? Teie vanemad elavad veel, eks ole? Your parents are still alive, aren’t they? Note also the common phrase eks me näe ‘we shall see’. Oblique cases of ise: ‘self’ Võib-olla ma leian sealt endale mingi seeliku. Perhaps I’ll be able to choose a skirt for myself. 115 The pronoun ise ‘self’ is very irregular in that it has the genitive form enda (and the partitive form end) and the other cases are based on this stem. Look at these examples: See on minu oma raamat. This is my own book. (I own it) See on minu enda raamat. This is my own book. (I wrote it myself. ) I’m buying myself a new car. Ostan endale uue auto. Ise can even be prefixed to its own oblique forms, as iseend, iseenda and so on: Räägi midagi iseendast! Tell (me) something about yourself! Exercise 1 See if you can work out the correct partitive plural form which you substitute for the noun in the following sentences. 1 Meil on täna palju õunu. (muna egg) (hernes pea) (kook cake) See pood müüb sokke. (kinnas glove) (sall scarf) (särk shirt) Kas teil on suuri kaubamaju? (must king black shoe) (vana kirik old church) (ilus park beautiful park) Selles linnas on palju ärisid. (kohvik café) (raamatukogu library) (maja house) Kus ma võiksin osta toole? (kohver suitcase) (puuvili fruit) (aluspüksid underpants) Exercise 2 Change the singular negative imperative in the commands below to the plural form. Example: Ära osta/Ärge ostke seda kleiti! 1 2 3 4 – – – – Don’t buy that dress! osta neid kingi! tee vigu! (make mistakes) vii hommikusööki voodisse! (take breakfast to bed) karda! (be afraid) 116 Unit 11: Poes 5 – pane raamatut toolile! 6 – õmble endale uut kleiti! 7 – unusta oma raha lauale! (forget your money on the table) Exercise 3 Translate into Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Buy yourself some new clothes! She said nothing about herself. They think only of themselves. Can’t you help yourself? We ourselves know very little about our own country. He wrote it himself. Exercise 4 Translate into English: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Te tulete homme, eks ole? Me läheme varsti koju, eks ole? Me läheme koju, eks ole? Sul on ainult natuke raha, eks ole? Autobuss väljub kell pool kümme, eks ole? Sa käisid juba kaupluses, eks ole? Exercise 5 Put in the partitive plural: Piret ja Paul ostsid: kaks kilo (kartul) pool kilo (porgand) kolmsada grammi (õuna) kakssada grammi (maasikas) pool kilo (tomat) The history of Tallinn Here is a table of important events in the history of the Estonian capital.

Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: Mis sinust saab, kui sa ülikooli lõpetad? Ma kindlalt ei tea, aga tõenäoliselt saab minust keskkooli emakeele õpetaja, sest ma õpin eesti keelt ja kirjandust. Peale lõpetamist ma tahaksin töötada näiteks tõlgina või ajakirjanikuna. Ja millised teaduskonnad peale filosoofia teaduskonna veel Tartu Ülikoolis on? Ülikool valmistab ette arste, kes õpivad arstiteaduskonnas, juriste, ajaloolasi, majandusteadlasi ja mitmete teiste alade spetsialiste. Vocabulary saama lõpetama become (+ elat. ) tõenäoline, -lise end, finish, complete, kirjandus, -e graduate tõlk, tõlgi probable, likely literature interpreter 120 Unit 12: Tööelu kirjanik, -u ajakirjanik, -u milline, -lise teadus, -e teaduskond, -konna ette valmistama ette valmistama writer journalist what (kind of) science, learning faculty forward, in advance prepare prepare in advance, train jurist, -i ajalugu, -loo ajaloolane, -lase majandus, -e majandusteadlane, -lase mitu, mitme ala, – spetsialist, -i lawyer, jurist history historian economy economist several field, area specialist Occupations Minust saab õpetaja. I shall become a teacher. A number of names of occupations are formed from verbs by adding the suffix -ja to the stem of the -ma infinitive. Thus in this passage we find, for example, õpetaja ‘teacher’ from õpetama ‘teach’; and näitleja ‘actor’ from näitlema (näidelda) ‘act’. But there are other endings too: for example, -nik in kirjanik ‘writer’, ‘author’; -ur in lendur ‘flier’, ‘pilot’; and -lane in ajaloolane ‘historian’; and so on. From amet ‘office’, ‘profession’ we get ametnik ‘official’. To ‘become’ a holder of a particular occupation we use the verb saada: Minust saab ajakirjanik. I shall become a journalist. Temast sai lendur. He became a pilot. Sinust saab õpetaja. You are to become a teacher. Adjectives formed from nouns Mul on kaheksatunnine tööpäev. I have an eight-hour working day. As we saw in Unit 9, adjectives that are formed from nouns usually take a characteristic ending such as -ne or a variation of it, based on the genitive stem, such as -line: 121 See oli revolutsiooniline sündmus. It was a revolutionary event. Ta pidas tulise kõne. (gen. /acc. ) He made a fiery speech. Meil oli eile päikesepaisteline päev. We had a sunny day yesterday. The essive case As what does your father work? He works as an engineer. Kellena su isa töötab? Ta töötab insenerina. The essive case is another of those cases which add an ending to the genitive stem; in this case the ending is -na. The essive case denotes the capacity in which the subject acts, and is often translated by ‘as’ in English. Further examples: Mu ema töötas õpetajana. My mother worked as a teacher. Ma tunnen Tartut ülikoolilinnana. I know Tartu as a university town. Lapsena ma tahtsin saada lenduriks. As a child I wanted to become a pilot. From the last example you will also see that the essive case is used for states of ‘being’ – what someone or something actually is – but not of ‘becoming’ – a change of state; verbs of ‘becoming’, like saada, take the translative case (-ks), or the elative and nominative cases in the way shown in ‘Occupations’ above. (CD 2; 13) Pireti plaanid õpetajana Paul wants to know why Piret chose to become a teacher. Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: Aga miks sa tahad õpetajana töötada? Kui ma päris pisike olin, juba siis meeldis mulle üle kõige õpetaja amet. Ja mu ema töötas õpetajana. Kellena su isa töötab? Ta on ehitusinsener. See amet ei huvitanud mind nii väga. Muidugi olen vahel unistanud muudest ametitest, näiteks sellest, et võiksin olla kuulus kirjanik või näitleja. Millisest elukutsest oled sina unistanud? 122 Unit 12: Tööelu Paul: Sa ära naera, aga noorena tahtsin saada lenduriks. Hiljem mõtlesin ka muudele ametitele, tahtsin, näiteks, insenerina leiba teenida. Räägi mulle, Piret, tulevane õpetaja, millised on sinu töötingimused? Mul on kaheksatunnine tööpäev, aga suvepuhkus on pikem kui teistel ametikohtadel. Kas sa tead, milline võiks olla su palk? Palk sõltub staazˇist, haridusest, tundide arvust ja tervest reast muudest tingimustest. Vocabulary miks pisike(ne), -kese üle amet, -i ehitus, -e insener, -i seesugune, -suguse vahe, – vahel unistama näitlema why little, small näitleja, – kutse, – elukutse, – naerma, naeran above, over ( prep. ) lendur, -i profession building, construction tulev, -a palk, palga engineer staazˇ, -i such, that kind of haridus, -e arv, -u gap, interval rida, rea at times, sometimes muu, – (day-)dream tingimus, -e act actor calling vocation laugh flier, pilot coming, future salary, wage length of service education number, quantity range, series, row other condition The negative of the past tense See amet huvitas mind. That profession interested me. Seesugune amet ei huvitanud mind. That kind of profession did not interest me. We tackled the past tense of the verb in Unit 3 (‘Past tense of the verb’). To put the past tense of an active verb into its negative form, we place the negative particle ei before the past participle of the verb, which ends, as we know, in -nud. As with all negative constructions, if the verb has an object it will appear in the partitive case: 123 Ma kirjutasin kirja. ) I wrote the letter. Ma ei kirjutanud kirja. ( part. ) I didn’t write the letter. Ma ostsin lehe. ) I bought the paper. Ma ei ostnud lehte. ) I didn’t buy the paper.

Paul: Piret: Ma olen kohanud su Tartu-sugulasi, aga kui ma õigesti mäletan, on sul ka mujal sugulasi. On küll. Mu venna Lembitu perekond elab Tallinnas, Mustamäel. Neil on seal korter uues majas. Ta töötab instituudis õppejõuna, ja tema abikaasa linda on hambaarst. Kas neil lapsi on? Neil on kaks last, poeg Vello ja tütar Ülle. Vello on neli aastat vana, ja Ülle – ma ei ole päris kindel, aga umbes kuueaastane. Kui sageli sa nende pool käid? Mitte nii sageli, kui ma tahaksin. Kui ma Tallinnas olen, käin ma küll nende juures paar korda nädalas. Aga sina? On sul ainult üks vend? Mul on ka õde, Emily, kes abiellus möödunud aastal. Ta abikaasa nimi on Tom. Neil sündis hiljuti poeg. Kus nad elavad? 5/30/08, 16:52 Unit 13: Home life Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: Paul: 127 Nad elavad Brightonis. Nad kolisid sinna alles sel aastal, kolm kuud tagasi. Tomil on Brightonis ema, kes elab koos teiste sugulastega. Ja Emily elab ämmaga? Jah, praegu küll ämmaga ja äiaga. Aga nad elavad üksmeelselt ja sõbralikult. Sul pole sugulasi siin Eestis? Mitte sugulasi, aga mul on sõpru, üks perekond, kelle juures ma käin sageli. Nad elavad Tapa lähedal. Suviti sõidame kõik koos nende suvilasse. Kas nende suvila on nii suur, et kogu perekond mahub ära? On küll, ja peale suvila on neil saun. Neil käib tihti sõpru külas, töökaaslasi ka. Ma olen igal aastal käinud seal sügisel Emilyga seeni ja marju korjamas.

My brother’s family lives in Tallinn, at Mustamäe. Just as two different prepositions, ‘in’ and ‘at’, are used in the English version of the sentence above, so there is variation in the case endings used with place names in Estonian. As in English, the reasons for the use of different forms are rather subtle. We should remember that the cases indicating location in Estonian can be divided into two broad groups, which some grammarians call the ‘inner local’ and the ‘outer local’ cases: Inner local Outer local Inessive -s Adessive -l Elative -st Ablative -lt Illative (long form) -sse Allative -le Generally it is the inner local cases that are used with place names, but there are exceptions. Often a place name will take the outer local forms because it refers to some geographical feature that makes these forms appropriate: if you know that Mustamäe means ‘Black Hill’, for instance, then you will more readily understand the reason: after all, in English we would say ‘on the black hill’ rather than ‘in’ it. Indeclinable participles Mu õde abiellus möödunud aastal. My sister got married last year. Note that the word möödunud ‘past’, ‘last’ is actually the past participle of the verb mööduma ‘pass’, and therefore we might expect it to be declinable like an adjective. In fact, though, past participles do not change in form to agree with the noun they qualify. By contrast, if we were to say ‘My sister is getting married next year’, the word for ‘next’, tulev, is declined, because present participles (ending in -(e)v) are declinable like any other adjective: Mu õde abiellub tuleval aastal. My sister will marry next year. Unit 13: Home life 129 The present continuous participle -mas I have been there picking mushrooms and berries. Ma olen käinud seal seeni ja marju korjamas. The participle -mas (which is simply the -ma infinitive plus the inessive case -s), is used as a kind of present participle in Estonian, like ‘-ing’ in English. It always refers to an action taking place at the same time as the action of the main verb: Terve perekond oli laua ääres söömas. The whole family was at the table eating. Minu tädi käis Eestis sugulasi külastamas. My aunt visited her relatives in Estonia. Ta oli kaupluses, toitu ostmas. She was in the shop buying food. Loodan, et ta on juba tulemas. I hope she is already coming. Kinship: family relations Here is a list of some of the more important family relations. isa, – ema, – poeg, poja tütar, tütre ämm, -a vanaema, – äi, -a father mother son daughter mother-in-law grandmother father-in-law vanaisa, – onu, – tädi, – väimees, -mehe minia, – vend, venna õde, õe grandfather uncle aunt son-in-law daughter-in-law brother sister Peale Peale suvila on neil saun. As well as the summer cottage they have a sauna. Peale is a really useful word in Estonian. Its basic meaning is ‘on’ or ‘onto’, as it derives from the stem pea ‘head’ + -le ‘to’. This word has several meanings, depending on whether it is a preposition (as in the example above), a postposition or an adverb. Here are some examples to illustrate the variation in meaning: 130 Unit 13: Kodune elu Adverb: võtke mind peale ‘give me a lift’/‘take me aboard ’ peale hakkama ‘make a start’ peale käima ‘insist’ tulge peale ‘come on! ’ Postposition: eilsest peale ‘since yesterday’ laua peale ‘on(to) the table’ Preposition: peale selle ‘besides’ kõik peale minu ‘all except me’ peale lõunat ‘after noon’ Which of the several meanings of peale is intended is usually evident from the context. Postpositions, prepositions and cases: a general review We have already seen that postpositions are quite common in Estonian, and prepositions less so. We also know that each of these words governs a particular case of the noun to which they refer. Postpositions and prepositions can have reference to place, time, cause or manner. Let us look at some examples. Postpositions generally take the genitive case: voodi (to) underneath the bed under the bed from under the bed alla all alt 131 laua peale peal pealt onto the table on the table from (the surface of) the table maja juurde juures juurest (up) to the house at the house from the house auto kõrvale kõrval kõrvalt (to) beside the car beside the car from beside the car jõe äärde ääres äärest to the edge of the river by the river from the edge of the river linna lähedale (to) near the town lähedal near the town lähedalt from near the town hoone ette ees eest to the front of the building in front of the building from the front of the building kooli taha taga tagant (to) behind/the back of the school behind the school from behind the school Prepositions are generally used with the partitive case: enne sööki vastu tuult piki kallast keset järve before a meal-time against the wind along the shore in the middle of the lake But a couple of prepositions do use the genitive: läbi metsa üle silla through the forest over the bridge These prepositions and postpositions should not be confused with ‘adverbs of direction’, which we will look at in the next unit and which do not govern any case.

Paul: Piret! Ma olen juba mitu päeva mõelnud väikese meresõidu peale. Kas sa tahad sel pühapäeval Tallinna tulla? Lähme teeme Pirital väikese meresõidu! Piret: Hea küll! Aga ma ootan järgmiseks nädalaks külalist, oma vana kirjasõpra Ellenit Ameerikast. Kindlasti pole ta Tallinna veel mere poolt näinud. Kas tema võiks tulla kaasa? Paul: Muidugi, Ellen mahub ka paati! Lähme siis pühapäeval keskpäeva paiku. Piret: Aga Tõnu, kas sa tuled ka kaasa? Tõnu: Kahjuks ei.

We’ll leave on Sunday at about midday then. Ma ei ole Tallinna veel mere poolt näinud. I still haven’t seen Tallinn from the sea. Note the special construction using paiku to express an approximate time: keskpäeva paiku ‘about midday’, ühe paiku ‘about one’, kesköö paiku ‘about midnight’ and so on. There is a set of postpositions, poolel, poole, poolt (derived from pool ‘half’, ‘side’), generally referring to ‘direction of’: Meie aknad on tänava poole. Our windows face the street. Ma käisin täna onu pool külas. I visited my uncle’s (place) today. Nad hääletasid presidendi poolt. They voted for the president. The following sentence shows some uses of the word pool: Ma pean kell pool kuus sõbra pool olema, aga enne seda pean ma poes käima ja homseks pool kilo juustu ostma. I have to be at a friend’s place at half past five, but before that I have to go to the shop and buy half a kilo of cheese for tomorrow. (CD 2; 17) Meresõit Tallinna lahel The following Sunday, Paul, Ellen and Piret set off in a small boat from Pirita.

Nüüd on Radisson või Eesti Ühispanga hoone veel kõrgem! Kas näed? Jah, näen küll. Ja Vanalinnas näen ma Pika Hermanni torni. Selle taga asub Toompea, kus asub riigi valitsus. Kohe möödume Kadrioru pargist. See on küll ilus, aga mu süda hakkab pahaks minema. Kas sa jääd merehaigeks? Paat kõigub tugevasti. Aga õnneks oleme varsti kohal.

One/You can recognize it easily. The meanings of some verbs are considerably changed by adding adverbs such as ära, which we have already met and which in itself means ‘away, off ’. In the above example the addition of ära after tundma ‘know’ changes its meaning to ‘recognize’. There are many more examples of these compound verb structures, which do not correspond literally to their English meanings. Notice that they nearly always come at the end of the clause or sentence: Me sõidame homme ära. We’re leaving tomorrow. Millal sa mu kirja kätte said? When did you get my letter (lit. : ‘into your hand’)? Buss jõuab kell üks pärale. The bus arrives at one o’clock. Küsi tema käest! Inquire from him! Ma õmblen su särgile nööbi ette. I’m sewing a button onto your shirt. (nööp, nööbi = button) Käime linnas ringi. We’ll go and see the town. Saadan ära kaks kirja. I’m sending off two letters. Me läheme nüüd välja. We’re going out now. Ma jätan suitsetamise maha. I’m giving up smoking. There are also many other instances which do correspond closely with English usage; these include adverbs such as tagasi ‘back (again)’, läbi ‘through’, mööda ‘past’, taha ‘back’, ‘behind’, üles ‘up’, ümber ‘around’ and so on. Subjectless clauses Looking again at the example at the beginning of the chapter, Selle tunneb kergesti ära, we see that the verb has only an object, selle, but no subject. These ‘subjectless’ constructions are quite common in Estonian, and the implied subject is ‘one’ or ‘you’ in general: 139 Riideid võib praegu odavalt osta. You can buy clothes cheaply now. (odav, odava = cheap) One sees these kinds of boats everywhere. (paat, paadi = boat; kõikjal = everywhere) Seesuguseid paate näeb kõikjal. Declension of foreign names Tallinna rannikuala on tõesti erinev New Yorgi sadamast. The Tallinn coastal area is really different from New York harbour. The treatment of foreign personal and place names in Estonian needs special care. Whereas native Estonian names tend to follow the declension patterns of other nouns and adjectives (though even some of these will seem unpredictable! ), the conventions for declining foreign names are somewhat different. If the foreign name ends in a vowel that is not actually indicated in spelling, such as Bordeaux, Versailles, its genitive form will be -’, the apostrophe being inserted to indicate that foreign pronunciation rules apply. The same even applies to a name like Sydney, whose final letter, -y, is not used in Estonian. In such cases the partitive form will be -’d. When the reverse applies, with a final vowel in writing but not in speech, as in ‘Shakespeare’, the genitive will be -’i, and so will the partitive. If, however, the foreign name ends in a consonant which in Estonian is subject to gradation, then the name must be subject to the same sound changes as Estonian words are: New York > New Yorgi, Frankfurt > Frankfurdi, and so on. Note that some place names of importance to Estonia have their own Estonian versions anyway: Helsingi, Riia, Rooma, Berliin and several others. If the foreign name ends in a vowel in both speech and writing, its genitive form will be identical with the nominative: Oslo, Moskva, Giuseppe Verdi and so on. If the name ends in a consonant in both speech and writing, then the genitive ending will generally be -i: Griegi, Washingtoni and so on. The partitive also ends in -i. Russian names are transliterated into Estonian spelling and declined according to the above rules: Mihhail Lermontov, David Oistrahh, Tsˇernobõl (Chernobyl) and so on. Names from closely 140 Unit 14: Meresõit related languages such as Finnish may be subjected to either Estonian or native declension rules.

She has offered to cook for them all. Piret: Tädi Leida, las ma teen täna õhtul süüa. Sul on olnud raske tööpäev ning sa oled väsinud. Ma kutsusin Tõnu ja Pauli külla ja neile peab midagi pakkuma. Las ma teen. 5/30/08, 16:53 144 Unit 15: Küllakutse Leida: Aitäh, kulla Piret, aga mida me küll sööme? Leib ja sai said otsa, külmkapis on ainult väheke juustu ja vorsti, ja piima ja koort oleks ka vaja. Mine käi poes ära. Piret: Hea küll, ma lähen poodi. Kas midagi muud on ka vaja? Leida: See sõltub sellest, mida sa tahad süüa teha. Aga võid ka ei ole, ja munad on otsas. Võta veel kümme muna ja üks pakk võid. Piret: Kas meil kohupiima on? Leida: Ei ole. Too üks pakk. Piret: Oota natukene, ma kirjutan parem üles, mida meil vaja on. Muidu ma unustan ära! Nii et kaks leiba, üks sai, siis veel juustu, ja vorsti, kaks liitrit piima ja üks purk hapukoort, kümme muna ja pakk võid. Leida: Aga missugust toitu sa oma külalistele teha tahaksid? Kas kala või liha? Kartuleid on ka vähevõitu. Piret: Kartuleid on meil küllalt, sest neid ma eile ostsin. Aga ühe kapsapea võiksin küll osta. Ja kala – võtan umbes kilo suitsukala, ühe suurema tüki. Leida: Osta natuke rohkem, et meile piisaks ka homseks. Kui kala müüakse kaalu järgi, osta poolteist kilo. Piret: Hea küll. Kui kõik on ostetud, tulen tagasi ja hakkan süüa tegema. Vocabulary süüa (verb used as noun) las laskma ning kulla ots, -a kapp, kapi külmkapp, -kapi vähe vähemalt vorst, -i pood, poe kohupiim, -a muidu food, meal, dinner toit, toidu vähevõitu let (it be that... ) liha, – küllalt let kapsas, kapsa and (also) kapsapea, – my dear kilo(gramm), end -(grammi) cupboard suits, -u refrigerator et müüma a little müüakse at least kaal, -u sausage järgi shop curds, cottage cheese kala, – otherwise food a little, not enough meat enough cabbage head of cabbage kilo(gram) smoke so that sell is sold weight ( postp. ) according to, by fish 145 Commands: the object of the imperative verb Too üks pakk! Bring one packet! We first encountered the imperative form of the verb in Unit 2. The object of a verb in the imperative (command) mood takes the nominative case if it is countable. You will remember the discussion of cases of objects in Unit 3. There are at least two reasons for using a partitive object: if it is indefinite (uncountable), or if it is preceded by a number or other quantifier. To refresh our memories, let us look at these contrasting examples: Piret ostab paki võid. Piret buys a packet (definite) of butter (indefinite). Piret ostab võid. Piret buys some butter (indefinite). Piret ostab kaks pakki võid. Piret buys two packets of butter ( preceded by quantifier). Now if we tell Piret to buy a packet of butter, or one packet of butter, or two packets of butter, look at the forms of the object: Piret, osta pakk võid! Piret, buy a packet of butter! Piret, osta üks pakk võid! Piret, buy one packet of butter! In both of the examples above, the object pakk or üks pakk appears in the nominative, but võid is partitive ‘of butter’. But as we know, plural numbers are followed by the partitive singular, so we get: Piret, osta kaks pakki võid! Piret, buy two packets of butter! Here, kaks is nominative, but pakki and võid are both partitive. And if we were addressing more than one person, or using the polite form, we would use the same forms but say ostke instead of osta. But some verbs cannot take ‘total’ objects, only partitive ones. This applies to the imperative as well: Vaadake seda kivi. (part. ) Look at this stone. Armastage oma sõpru. Love your friends. These verbs take partitive objects for another reason: they are the objects of verbs of thinking, feeling and perceiving. 146 Unit 15: Küllakutse Kas... või Kas kala või liha? Fish or meat? When we wish to express two possible alternatives or choices in a question, we can use the expression kas... või: Kuhu sa tahad sõita – kas Otepääle või Elvasse? Where do you want to travel to – Otepää or Elva? Mida te suitsetate – kas sigarit või sigaretti? What are you smoking – a cigar or a cigarette? The passive or impersonal verb (present tense) Seda kala müüakse kaaluga. That fish is sold by weight. The passive voice of the verb is the form that is used when there is no subject expressed – what is important is what happens to the object – in this case ‘fish’. The present tense of the passive verb in Estonian is very regular and easy to form: as a general rule we simply add -kse to the -da infinitive of the verb. Some more examples: Mida siin tehakse? What is being done here? (teha/tehakse) Kirikus lauldakse laule. Songs are sung in church. (laulda/lauldakse) Ust avatakse. The door is being opened. (avada/avatakse) Naerdakse. People are laughing. (naerda/naerdakse) But it would be more accurate to call this verb form impersonal rather than passive, as it has a slightly different usage from in English. An important difference is that it cannot take an agent: we cannot say ‘The door is opened by Aunt Leida’ using this form in Estonian; instead we use the normal active form of the verb and just change the word order: Ukse avab tädi Leida. On the other hand we can use this form for what in English would be expressed by an active verb with the general subject ‘People’ or ‘They’: 147 Siin juuakse veini. People drink wine here. Räägitakse, et see on hea film. They say this is a good film. The passive past participle Kõik, mis vaja, on ostetud. Everything necessary has been (= is) bought. Piret on ostnud kõik, mis vaja. Piret has bought everything necessary. Comparing the two sentences above, we can see that the passive past participle is rather like the active past participle (-nud), except that the -n- of the ending changes to -t- or -d-. (The same rules apply here as for -ke and -ge in the imperative. ) There is an additional point to remember, though: if the stem already ends in -t, as in the verb ostma, we insert an extra -e- to separate the two ts. Looking back to the examples we saw of the passive forms above, we can say: Töö sai ära tehtud. The work was done. Laulud on lauldud. The songs have been sung. Uks on avatud. The door has been opened. Exercise 1 Put the appropriate form of the phrase see tükk ‘this piece’ into the following sentences: 1 2 3 4 5 Andke mulle __________. Ma võtan __________.

Seda hakati üles kirjutama aga alles 19. sajandi algul, siis, kui soomlane Elias Lönnrot oli kogunud soome ja karjala rahvaluulet ning koostanud soome eepose ‘Kalevala’, mis tekitas ka Eestis eepose loomise mõtte. 1838. aastal rajati Tartus Õpetatud Eesti Selts. Seltsi liikmeteks olid peamiselt sakslased, sest eestlastel oli tol ajal väga vähe võimalusi saada kõrgemat haridust. Aga nende hulgas oli ka üks eestlane, Friedrich Robert Faehlmann (1798–1850), arstiteaduse doktor, kes tegeles eesti keele, rahvaluule ja ajaloo uurimisega. Faehlmanni surma järel jätkas Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald (1803–82) materjali kogumist ning lõi eestlaste oma eepose, ‘Kalevipoja’. Tsensuuri tõttu ei saadud algupärast ‘Kalevipoega’ avaldada; kõik värsid, milles meenutati eestlaste vabadust ja nende minevikku, kärbiti. Täiendatud ‘Kalevipoeg’ trükiti Õpetatud Eesti Seltsi väljaandena 1862. a. Kuopio linnas Soomes. ‘Kalevipoeg’, mis koosneb 20 laulust, on aluseks ka tänapäeva eesti kirjakeelele.

Let us now look at how to express dates. Ordinal numbers in general, including years, are expressed in writing with a full stop after the number: 4. detsember 19. sajand 1838. aasta 4th December the 19th century the year 1838 Years given on their own are always written in this way, with the word aasta often abbreviated to a. 155 In writing dates on their own, such as at the head of a letter, we simply use the nominative form of the month: 6. marts 2007 And the same applies, of course, if the date is the subject of the sentence (or the complement of the verb ‘to be’): Täna on teisipäev, kuues märts kakstuhat seitse. In the oblique cases, we decline the date accordingly, remembering that ‘on’ a date requires the adessive case in Estonian: Ta on sündinud kaheksateistkümnendal novembril tuhat üheksasada viiskümmend neli. She was [note that Estonian says ‘is’ of beings who are still living] born on 18th November 1954. We can leave the year of the date undeclined, which is what Estonians usually do in conversation, or we can decline the year as well. If we do, because the year is then an ordinal number, we have to add aastal ‘in the year’ as well (‘in the 1954th year’): Ta on sündinud kaheksateistkümnendal novembril tuhande üheksasaja viiekümne neljandal aastal. As you can see, when declined, it becomes quite a mouthful! But it is not as difficult as it might look at first glance, as it is only the last element of the number, neljandal, that is either in the adessive case of the ordinal: the preceding elements are simply genitive forms of the cardinal numbers. The past tense passive (positive) 19. sajandi algul hakati seda üles kirjutama. At the beginning of the nineteenth century people began to write it down. In the previous unit we met the present tense form of the passive (or impersonal) form of the verb, ending in -kse. The past tense of the passive is formed equally simply, by adding -ti to the stem of the -da infinitive. 156 Unit 16: Eesti kirjandus The door was opened. Uks avati. 1838. aastal rajati Õpetatud The Estonian Learned Society Eesti Selts. was founded in 1838. In the verses there was a reminder of the Estonians’ freedom. Värssides meenutati eestlaste vabadust. The past tense passive (negative) Tsensuuri tõttu ei saadud avaldada algupärast ‘Kalevipoega’. Because of censorship it was not possible to publish the original Kalevipoeg. The negative form of the past passive, on the other hand, is formed with the negative particle ei before the past passive participle of the verb, a form we met in the previous unit, ending in -tud (or sometimes -dud). Ust ei avatud. The door was not opened. Algupärast eepost ei trükitud Eestis. The original epic was not printed in Estonia. Eestlastele haridust ei antud. For Estonians education was not provided. More on the declension of non-Estonian names In Unit 14 we dealt with the declension of foreign proper names in Estonian. Many Estonians themselves have names of non-Estonian origin. Faehlmann and Kreutzwald, the compilers of the Kalevipoeg mentioned in the text here, were of Baltic German stock, for instance, and their names do not fit so easily into the Estonian declension pattern. As we have seen, foreign names ending in consonants generally add an -i for the genitive stem: Faehlmanni surm the death of F. Kreutzwaldi töö the work of Kr. Lönnroti eepos L. ’s epic poem Londoni tänavad the streets of London 157 Exercise 1 Answer these questions: 1 2 3 4 5 Millal hakati eesti rahvaluulet koguma? Millal rajati Õpetatud Eesti Selts? Kes olid Eesti eepose loojad? Mis oli ‘Kalevipoja’ soome eelkäija (= predecessor) nimi? Miks ei saadud ‘Kalevipoega’ Eestis trükkida? Nüüdisaegene eesti kirjandus More recent Estonian literature (CD 2; 21) Lydia Koidula (1843–86) oli esimene tähtis eesti luuletaja. Ta kirjutas isamaalisi luuletusi, näiteks ‘Igatsus’, ‘Enne surma Eestimaale’ ja ‘Mu isamaa on minu arm’. 20. sajandi algul oli eesti novelli ja romaani suurajajärk. Anton Hansen Tammsaare (1878–1940) kirjutas mitu suurt eesti romaani. Ka Friedebert Tuglas (1886–1971) oli tähtis kirjanik, kes kirjutas luuletusi, romaane, novelle ja muid teoseid, ning tõlkis ilukirjandust vene ja soome keelest. Juhan Liiv (1864 – 1913) oli selle perioodi tähtis luuletaja. Eesti kirjandus muutus tunduvalt pärast 1940. aastat, kui Eestist tehti väevõimuga Nõukogude Liidu vabariik. Kohe pärast sõda oli kirjanduses peamine sõjateematika, ja hiljem sotsialistlik riigikord, nagu teisteski sotsialistlikes riikides. Vahepeal oli kasvamas uus põlvkond kirjanikke. Nende hulgast mainigem proosakirjanikke Mats Traati, Mati Unti, Arvo Valtonit, Jaan Krossi, ja Enn Vetemaad ning luuletajaid Jaan Kaplinskit, Debora Vaarandit, Paul-Eerik Rummot, Hando Runnelit ja Juhan Viidingut. Noorema põlvkonna kirjanikud on näiteks Eeva Park, Lauri Pilter, Kristiina Ehin, Rein Raud, Mehis Heinsaar ja Andrus Kivirähk. Kahjuks on nende teoseid võõrkeeltesse suhteliselt vähe tõlgitud.

Let us mention the prose writers. If we want to make suggestions in Estonian, we can use what we will call here the first person plural imperative, corresponding to ‘Let us... ’ in English, which is formed simply by adding -m to the second person plural imperative form: Makske! Makskem! Sööge! Söögem! Minge! Lähme! Pay! Let’s pay! Eat! Let’s eat! Go! Let’s go! 159 The negative of the first person plural imperative is the indicative form preceded by ärgem instead of ärge: Ärgem makskem! Ärgem söögem! Ärgem mingem! Let’s not pay! Let’s not eat! Let’s not go! (Note: These forms are rarely used in colloquial Estonian; instead we find simple imperative forms in positive sentences and ärme + simple imperative in negative ones. ) Exercise 2 Write out in full the years of the birth and death of Tammsaare, Tuglas and Liiv. Exercise 3 How do you say in Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Let’s Let’s Let’s Let’s Let’s Let’s Let’s Let’s buy a train ticket. sleep here tonight. have (= ‘make’) a sailing trip on Tallinn Bay! not worry about him, let’s go without him! get acquainted. not go out in the rain today. eat! travel to Latvia! Exercise 4 Write out in full: 1 2 3 4 24th July 1963 5th April 1185 27th November 1932 Lydia Koidula was born on 24th December 1843 and died on 11th August 1886. 5 Not until 1946 was she buried in Tallinn. 6 I’ve been waiting for my friend since 28th May, but I was told that she will be abroad until 11th June. 7 The shop was opened on 29th September 2008. 160 Unit 16: Eesti kirjandus (CD 2; 22) Lydia Koidula wrote much patriotic poetry which played an important part in the national awakening in the nineteenth century. Here is her best-known poem, the much-loved ‘Mu isamaa on minu arm’, which is sung to music written by the famous Estonian composer and conductor Gustav Ernesaks (1908–93). Though the language is rather archaic, you should be able to understand it without much difficulty. Mu isamaa on minu arm Mu isamaa on minu arm, kell’ südant andnud ma. sull’ laulan ma, mu ülem õnn, mu õitsev Eestimaa! Su valu südames mul keeb, su õnn ja rõõm mind rõõmsaks teeb, mu isamaa! Mu isamaa on minu arm, ei teda jäta ma, ja peaks sada surma ma seepärast surema! Kas laimab võõra kadedus, sa siiski elad südames, mu isamaa! Mu isamaa on minu arm, ja tahan puhata, su rüppe heidan unele, mu püha Eestimaa! Su linnud und mull’ laulavad, mu põrmust lilled õitsetad, mu isamaa! (1867) 161 Language in use Imagine you are writing a letter to a close friend in Estonia. Let’s suppose his name is Enn Tarm. His name and address (aadress, -i) on the envelope (ümbrik, -u) are, let’s say: You might begin your letter with your own address and the date, and a greeting such as Tere Enn! or, if you know him very well, perhaps Kallis Enn! (Estonians would not write ‘Dear’ unless they meant it! ) Then go on to write a couple of paragraphs of your own news. Here are some subjects you might mention: • • • • • • • • • • your current routine of work or study health, perhaps a recent illness affecting you or your family a holiday you are planning or have taken an invitation to him to come to your country public events in your own country your progress in learning Estonian your chances of visiting him something funny that happened to you recently a request for some Estonian books to read or something else. Here is a postcard sent back by Ellen to her parents in America: 162 More formal business letters and letters to officials might begin by addressing the recipient as Lugupeetud (respected) hr. (= härra)/pr. (= proua) and end with Lugupidamisega (with respect). Even more formally one can call the recipient Austatud (honoured) Of course there is much more to communications with Estonians than just letters and cards. Electronic communications are very widely used in modern Estonia (country code) and there is an extensive range of Internet sites in Estonian, both informative and fun, as well as chat rooms, SMS networks and so on. A quick search of the Internet is soon bound to reveal sites connected to your own particular interest in Estonia. Unit 17: At a department store 17 Kaubamajas At a department store By the end of this unit you should: • recognize and use the present active participle • know the ‘purposive’ suffix -miseks • be able to read an Estonian TV programme guide (CD 2; 23) Kaubamaja Piret has to go to the main department store in Tallinn to do some shopping, and Paul needs to buy some things too, so they agree to go together. Piret: Paul: Paul: Nagu kindlasti tead, Paul, Tallinna ja Tartu suurimaks kaupluseks on kesklinnas asuv kaubamaja. Jah, Tartus ma käin üsna sagely Kaubamajas, kui mul on vaja midagi osta. Kaubamajades on kõige rikkalikum valik. Aga siin Tallinnas ma pole enne kaubamajas käinud. Vaatame ringi. Mida sul on vaja osta? Ma sooviksin mänguasjade ja spordikaupade osakonnas käia, sest ma mõtlesin midagi oma sugulastele osta. Vaata, kõigepealt loeme, kus kõik osakonnad asuvad. Esimesel korrusel on majapidamistarbed, lauanõud, elektroonika, televiisorid, CD’d, DVD’d, mobiiltelefonid, arvutid, raadiod ja spordivarustust. Siis teisel korrusel leidub jalatseid ja naiste valmisrõivaid. Aga mitte mänguasju. Kus need on? 164 Unit 17: Kaubamajas Müüja: Piret: Müüja: Piret: Tere päevast, kas ma saan teid aidata? Jah, palun, ma vaataksin mänguasju. Need leiate teiselt korrvselt. Mine sina neid vaatama, Paul, ja mina vaatan mantleid. Siis lähme koos alla toiduainete osakonda torti ostma! Sealt võib leida kaasavõtmiseks häid torte ja kompvekke. Vocabulary kõigepealt kauplus, -e asuma keskus, -e rikkalik, -u valik, -u majapidamine, -mise tarve, tarbe majapidamistarbed nõu, – lauanõud raadio, – sport, spordi first of all shop, store be situated centre abundant, rich choice, selection housekeeping need, want, requirement household goods vessel, dish crockery radio (set) sport varustus, -e korrus, -e rõivas, rõiva valmisrõivad elektroonika, – arvuti, – mänguasi, -asja mobiiltelefon, -i küla, – toiduaine, – kaasavõtmiseks tort, tordi kompvek, -i elekter, -tri equipment storey, floor dress, garment ready-to-wear garments electronic goods computer toy mobile telephone village foodstuff for taking away, ready-made cake, tart sweet, confection electricity The present active participle -v Tallinna ja Tartu suurimaks The biggest store in Tallinn and kaupluseks on kesklinnas Tartu is the department store asuv kaubamaja. situated in the centre. (‘the in the centre being-situated department store’ – note different word order in Estonian. ) The ending -v added to the -da stem of a verb corresponds to the English present participle ‘-ing’ when used in its adjectival sense, to 165 qualify a noun. We have already met this ending, in fact, in words such as meeldiv ‘pleasing’, ‘pleasant’, huvitav ‘interesting’ and so on. In the last unit we found it in Lydia Koidula’s poem: õitsev ‘flourishing’. Its genitive form is -va and it can be declined just like any adjective. Temal on väga huvitav amet. She has a very interesting profession. See oli rõõmustav kohtumine. It was a joyful meeting. Meie elame kiiresti kasvavas linnas. We live in a rapidly growing city. Compounds of adjectives and nouns On the second floor women’s ready-to-wear clothes are found. Teisel korrusel leidub naiste valmisrõivaid. There are some cases where an adjective and a noun are combined in one word: valmis ‘ready’ + rõivas ‘garment’. Other common examples include vanalinn ‘Old Town’ and uusaasta ‘New Year’. Generally, though, adjectives and nouns cannot be freely combined. The ending -miseks Sealt võib leida kaasavõtmiseks häid torte ja kompvekke. There one can find nice cakes and confections to take away. The ending -miseks could be described as a sort of ‘infinitive of purpose’. It means ‘for the purpose of ’ the action indicated by the verb: See raamat on eesti keele õppimiseks or: See raamat on eesti keele õppimise jaoks (jaoks postp. + gen., ‘for’). This book is for learning Estonian. Linnaga tutvumiseks on aega liiga vähe. There is too little time to get to know the town. 166 Unit 17: Kaubamajas I don’t have enough money for changing just now.

Paul: Piret, ma hakkan varsti ära sõitma, aga ma tahaksin enne ärasõitu natuke rohkem Eestimaad näha. Ma mõtlesin umbes viiepäevasele ringsõidule minna. Kas sa saaksid mulle nõu anda? Eestis on nii palju erinevaid kohti, kuhu sa võiksid minna. Kas sa kavatsed auto üürida? Ma mõtlesin jah Tartust auto üürida, sest ma tahaksin näiteks Lõuna-Eestis ning Saaremaal ja Hiiumaal natuke ringi sõita. See on hea idee. Lõuna-Eestis on väga ilus puutumatu loodus ja seal ongi kõige kergem ja mugavam autoga ringi sõita. Kuhu sa minna soovitaksid? Noh, kindlasti oled märganud, et Eestis on väga palju järvi ja paljud neist asuvad just Lõuna-Eestis. Võiksid ära käia ka näiteks Taevaskojas ja Eesti kõrgeimal tipul, Suurel Munamäel. Unit 18: Discovering Estonia Paul: Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: 171 Jah, seda teeksin ma hea meelega. Mind huvitaks väga ka Setumaa. Olen kuulnud, et see on ülejäänud Eestist hoopis erinev. Setumaa on tõesti väga huvitav koht. Setu talumuuseumis saad sa tutvuda setu kommete, talude, vanade tööriistade, käsitöö ja muu sellisega. Seal oleks sul võimalus ka suitsusaunas käia ja setu toite süüa! Aga kuhu sa ise tahaksid kõige rohkem minna? Noh, võib-olla Pärnumaale. Pärnu on suvel nagu Eesti teine pealinn. Seal on pikad liivarannad, soe merevesi ja palju kultuurisündmusi. Nii Pärnus kui Haapsalus, mis asub samuti Eesti läänerannikul, saab spa-hotellides lõõgastuda ja mudavanne nautida. Kas Pärnust saab ka saartele? Tahaksin näha Hiiumaad ja Saaremaad. Pärnust sa Hiiumaale ega Saaremaale ei saa. Hiiumaale minemiseks tuleb sul sõita Rohukülla, mis asub Haapsalu külje all, Saaremaale saab aga sõita Virtsu sadamast. Vaatame Eesti kaarti ja paneme marsruudi paika. Paul. Kas näed kaardil Kuressaaret? Kõigepealt tuleb sul sõita praamiga Muhu saarele ja sealt edasi autoga tammi mööda Saaremaale. Kuressaare on imeilus väike linn, kus asub hästi säilinud keskaegne kindlus. Samuti on Saaremaa tuntud oma puutumatu looduse poolest. Lapsepõlves käisin oma perekonnaga igal suvel Saaremaal. Su lapsepõlves – aga mitte täiskasvanuna? Kahjuks mitte kordagi. Pole olnud ei aega ega õiget seltskonda. Aga võib-olla sul nüüd oleks aega? Sul on ju veel puhkus. Kas sul on midagi plaanis? Ega eriti ei ole küll. Niisiis... kas sa tuleksid koos minuga? Kahekesi on lõbusam ja sa saaksid mulle Eestit näidata nagu asjatundja! Nõus! Sõidame koos mööda Eestit ringi!

In the same position we can find other conjunctions, such as samuti ‘likewise’: Nii Pärnus kui Haapsalus, mis asub samuti Eesti läänerannikul... At both Pärnu and Haapsalu, which is likewise located on the west coast of Estonia,... And in this sentence, note the structure nii... kui (ka) ‘both... and’. Another conjunction we find in this dialogue is niisiis ‘so then’: Niisiis... kas sa tuleksid koos minuga? So then, would you come with me? Unit 18: Discovering Estonia 173 The suffix -(ma)tu Lõuna-Eestis on väga ilus In South Estonia nature is very puutumatu loodus. beautiful and unspoiled. (lit. : ‘In South Estonia is very beautiful unspoiled nature’) The suffix -tu, when added to the -ma verb infinitive, negates the meaning of the verb, like the prefix ‘un-’ in English: puutuma ‘touch’, puutumatu ‘untouched’. Similarly sobima ‘fit, suit’, sobimatu ‘’inappropriate, incompatible’. Uskuma ‘believe’, uskumatu ‘unbelievable’. The suffix -tu also forms adjectives that negate nouns, and thus it may be seen as the opposite of the suffix -line: õnn, õnne ‘happiness, luck’, õnnelik ‘happy, fortunate’, õnnetu ‘unhappy, unfortunate’. Likewise nõu ‘counsel’, nõutu ‘perplexed, at a loss’; kodu ‘home’, kodutu ‘homeless’; and so on. ‘In order to’ Hiiumaale minemiseks tuleb sul sõita Rohukülla. In order to go to Hiiumaa you ought to travel to Rohuküla. If we want to express the idea of doing something ‘in order’ to do something else, we can replace the -ma of the infinitive with -miseks. So we can say: Meil ei ole piisavalt head We don’t have a good enough tööriista selle töö tegemiseks. tool in order to do this job. (piisav sufficient; piisavalt enough) ‘Ought to, should, have to’ Note the use of the verb tulema, which normally means ‘come’, in the example above, where it means ‘have to’, ‘ought to’ or ‘should’. The person who should or ought to is expressed in the adessive case: sul tuleb, meil tuleb, temal tuleb and so on. Further on in the dialogue we find: Kõigepealt tuleb sul sõita First you have to travel by ferry praamiga Muhu saarele. to the island of Muhu. The word pool and its derivatives Samuti on Saaremaa tuntud oma puutumatu looduse poolest. Likewise Saaremaa is known for its unspoiled landscape/nature. 174 Unit 18: Eestit avastamas In this sentence the word poolest is used to mean ‘for, because of’. Like the words derived from pea that we have met (peale, pealt and so on), pool is a very useful base for a number of expressions: Seal elavad mu sugulased ema poolt. Igal pool oli lärm! See asub Tartust lõuna pool. Ma jalutasin paremal pool. Ta elas mu sõbra pool. My relatives on my mother’s side live there. There was noise everywhere! It’s located south of Tartu. I was walking on the right-hand side. She was living at my friend’s place. Exercise 1 Answer the following questions about the text: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Kuhu tuleb sõita Hiiumaale minemiseks?

At the weekend they decide to go together to Pärnu to meet his sister and her husband. Tõnu: Tere hommikust, Piret! Tere, Paul! Kas oled juba reisivalmis? Kas sul on asjad pakitud, Piret? Piret: Jah, minu kraam on kõik kotis. Ma ei tunne mingit lõbu reisimisest, kui pean raskeid pakke tassima. Aga sina? Tõnu: Jah, mul on väga kerge kott. Võtan kaasa vaid hädavajalikud asjad. Paul: Ka minul on seekord kerge kohver. Piret: Mis sul kotis on? Paul: Pardel, hambahari, hambapasta ja muu taoline kraam. Piret: Oh, taevake! Ma oleksin enda omad maha unustanud! Need on mul veel vannitoas peegli all. Aga Paul, kas sul vihmamantel on? Täna tuleb kindlasti vihma. Paul: Ei, mantlit mul ei ole. Ja vihmavarigi jäi kaasa võtmata. Täitsa unustasin. Aga nüüd ei ole enam aega sellele järele minna. Peab minema. 178 Unit 19: Rongisõit Vocabulary reisivalmis kohver, kohvri kraam, -i mingi lõbu, – reisima tassima asi, asja kaasa(s) häda, – ready to travel suitcase hädavajalik, -u stuff, things, luggage some/any kind of pleasure, enjoyment, fun travel drag, lug thing with you/one trouble, emergency pakkima pardel, -dli hari, harja pasta, – taoline, -lise taevake! vann, -i peegel, peegli täitsa (= täiesti) necessary, indispensible pack (electric) razor brush paste such Heavens! bath(tub) mirror completely Phrases Ma oleksin need maha unustanud. I would have forgotten them. (= left them behind) We have already discussed the function of ‘adverbs of direction’ such as maha (in Unit 14), and we know that they alter the force of the verb, sometimes quite subtly. Piret means here that she would have left them behind, rather than merely forgetting about the idea of them. Maha adds a certain concreteness and specificity to the expression. Note also the phrase enda omad ‘my/your/one’s... own’ (plural). The suffix -mata: ‘omitting to do’ something Ja vihmavarigi jäi kaasa võtmata. And the umbrella wasn’t brought either (= ‘stayed unbrought’). The suffix -mata, which is simply the abessive case suffix -ta added to the -ma infinitive, indicates what someone has ‘omitted to do’. Other examples: Lapsed jäid söömata. Me unustasime paki saatmata. Te jätsite sinna minemata. The children had nothing to eat. We forgot to send the packet. You omitted to go there. 179 (CD 2; 28) Raudteejaamas TALLINN Paldiski Rakvere Kiviõli Kehra Saue Püssi Jõhvi Narva Tapa Keila Tamsalu Rapla Türi Jõgeva Võhma Tartu Pärnu Viljandi Elva Põlva The three friends arrive at the railway station.

Vocabulary tass, tassi cup hääl, -e voice Eesti Päevaleht Estonian Daily: daily newspaper kiire, – hurry kupee, – compartment istekoht, -koha märkida tulles peatus, -e kord, korra lootma seat mark, note coming stop, halt time, occasion hope The present participle suffix -(d)es Rongiga sõites ma tahaksin lehte lugeda. Riding on the train I’d like to read the paper. When we describe one action that takes place at the same time as another, we can use another kind of present participle, which is formed by adding -(d)es to the -da infinitive stem. We can think of this as the ‘while’ participle: Magades õppimisest ei tule midagi head. No good will come of learning while sleeping. Ta kirjutas kirja rongiga sõites. She wrote a letter while travelling on a train. Me ajasime bussi oodates juttu. We chatted while waiting for the bus. As you can see from the example with tulles below, the stem of the verb undergoes the same changes for this participle as it does for the other verb participles. The subject of the two verbs need not of course be the same. In that case the subject that appears with the participle is in the genitive: 181 When Mother came the boys had vanished. Ema tulles olid poisid kadunud. Declension of ordinal numbers Neil on piletid kolmandas kupees, They have tickets in the kuueteistkümnes ja third coach, seats 16 and seitsmeteistkümnes istekoht. 17. (‘16th and 17th seats’) We have already looked at the declension of ordinal numbers in connection with dates (Unit 16), and we have seen that the declension of ordinal numbers is relatively straightforward for the numbers up to ten; as with any other adjective, most of the case endings are formed from the genitive stem, which you have already seen for the ordinal numbers. More complex, though, is the declension of numbers above ten, because here the individual elements of the number all have to be declined in agreement. For the numbers 11 to 20 there is another thing to remember: the ending -kümmend, literally ‘of ten’, which is optional for the cardinal numbers – üksteist(kümmend), kaksteist(kümmend), and so on, is compulsory in the ordinal forms, and must also be declined. Only the element -teist- remains the same, as it is already the partitive case of teine ‘other, second’. For compound ordinal numbers, however, everything except the last element is put in the genitive. The example above is in the inessive case; let us look at examples in other cases: Võta raamat neljandalt riiulilt. Take a book from the fourth shelf. See juhtus kahekümne kuuendal veebruaril. It happened on 26th February. Ootame kuueteistkümnenda kuupäevani. We are waiting until the 16th (day).

Nautige suve koos sõpradega liikudes Suvine tervisespordikalender on jooksudest, rattasõitudest, triatlonidest ja könniüritustest üpris pungil, kuid ega küll küllale liiga tee. Oma jalgel liikumisest rõõmustajad said ühe ettevõtmise võrra rikkamaks. Laupäeval Tallinnas Pirita spordikeskuse radadel peetud Ramirendi kevadjooks otsib endale ruumi võistkonnatunnet ja ühistegevust väärtustava ettevõtmisena. Õige algatus: kui kellelgi jääb metsa või mere äärde sörkima ja kõndima minekuks algatusvõimest või julgusest puudu, kutsugu sõber kaasa. Hea seltskonnaga looduses liikumine möödub sama joovastavalt nagu piknik pargipuude all. Parim maratonijooksja Pavel Loskutov, kelle vastupidavusega saab Eestis üksikuid võrrelda, lõi samuti kampa. Teate veel, kelle eest – olümpiakomitee võistkonnas. ‘Mul on ju olümpianorm täidetud, ’ selgitas valgalane. Kuigi Loskutov kaotas 7, 2 km pikkuse distantsi lõpuspurdiheitluses sillamäelasele Vjatsˇeslav Kosˇelevile, jagas ta üritusele kamaluga kiitust. Terviseliikumise hoogsa reklaamimise ajal võiks teisedki Eesti tippsportlased oma treeningukava ühitada mõne jooksu-, rattasõidu- või rulluisuvõistlusega.

Paul has arrived back from England to spend his own Christmas holidays with them. Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: Paul: Piret: Paul: Need on mu esimesed jõulud Eestis. Teil olevat natuke erinevad jõulutraditsioonid kui meil Inglismaal. Jah, aga mõlemal maal usutakse, et tuleb jõuluvana. Aga kust jõuluvana teie meelest tuleb? Ta sõidab saaniga kaugelt, kaugelt Põhjamaalt. Kuidas ta saab saaniga sõita? Lund ju ei ole. Küll selleks ajaks tuleb lumi maha. Aga kuidas ta sõidab Inglismaale? Muidugi ta lendab saaniga, kui lund ei ole maas, sest Inglismaal ei saa loota sellele, et jõuludeks tuleb lund. Siis ta ronib korstna kaudu, majja ja jätab kingitused jõulukuuse alla, kui perekond magab. Aga teile ta tuleb alles jõulupäevaks, eks? Jah, ta tuleb öösel. Meile ta on siis juba tulnud. Me saame jõulukingitusi ju jõululaupäeval. Just then the telephone rings. Piret answers it. Piret: Hallo? Tõnu: Tere! Siin Tõnu. Kuule, Piret, varsti on jõulud käes. Kas Paul on juba Inglismaalt saabunud? Piret: On küll. Mis sul on plaanis? Tõnu: Ma mõtlesin, et kui sul ei ole muid plaane, siis te võibolla tuleksite jõuludeks meie juurde. Piret: Aga Tõnu, ma olen jõulude ajal kodus oma perega. Igal aastal tuleb terve meie pere mu vanemate juurde kokku. Tõnu: Ja mida te teete? Piret: Nagu kõigil, on ka meil traditsioonilised jõulud. Kui terve pere tuleb kokku, ja võib-olla veel mõned sugulased on meil jõuluõhtuks pidulaud kaetud. Tõnu: Mida teie pool süüakse? Piret: Ikka hapukapsaid ja seapraadi, verivorsti pohlamoosiga, tavaliselt ka ahjukartuleid, ja sülti, ja, ja – Tõnu: Nii nagu meilgi. Ja kui söömine ära lõpeb, siis tuleb jõuluvana. Piret: Ja lapsed jooksevad talle vastu. Tõnu: Meil ka. Mu õe lapsed ootavad teda nii hirmsasti. Ma mäletan ka oma lapsepõlvest, kui kena see oli, kui jõuluvana koputas uksele, ning küsis, kas ta tohib sisse astuda, ja me 188 lapsed jooksime talle vastu, et talle laulda ja temalt kinke saada. Ja siis kui kingitused on jagatud, pakume jõuluvanale kohvi ja piparkooke. See on küll kena. Räägitakse, et jõuluvana polevat olemas, aga mina küll usun, et on!

They say that Father Christmas doesn’t exist, but I do believe he does. We can report other people’s speech in Estonian in the same way as we do in English (except that the tense may vary in Estonian): Ta ütles, et ta tuleb täna õhtul. He said that he was (= is) coming this evening. However, when we wish to distance ourselves from the truth or falseness of a claim reported by someone else, we can use the ‘quoting’ mode of the verb in Estonian: the impression conveyed is suspended belief. The ‘quoting’ mode is formed simply by adding -vat to the -ma infinitive stem of the verb, and it is the same for all persons and numbers: ma olevat, sa olevat, ta olevat and so on. Further examples: Kõne algavat viie minuti pärast. The speech is supposed to start in five minutes. Tähtis filmitäht tulevat meie linna. An important film star is said to be coming to our town. Ma olen kuulnud, et Tartus olevat vana ülikool. I have heard that there is an old university in Tartu. Reported speech in the past tense can be expressed with olevat + past active participle -nud: Sa olevat mulle juba rongipileti ostnud. They say you have already bought a train ticket for me. Nad olevat saanud kakskümmend krooni ühe naela eest. They say they have been getting twenty crowns to the pound. (nael, naela = £) Kogu perekond olevat sõitnud välismaale. The whole family is said to have gone abroad. 190 The meanings of kui Ta lendab saaniga, kui lund ei ole maas. He flies by sleigh if there’s no snow on the ground. Ma mäletan, kui kena see oli, kui jõuluvana koputab uksele. I remember how nice it is when Father Christmas knocks on the door. Ma olen vanem kui teie. I am older than you. Mu sõber on sama vana kui mina. My friend is as old as I am. The various meanings of kui need not cause us any confusion, as we can nearly always tell from the context which meaning is intended from the several possibilities: ‘if ’, ‘when’, ‘how’, ‘than’, ‘as’. Remember not to confuse kui with similar words: kuid, which means ‘but’, kuidas ‘how? ’, and kuigi ‘although’. Exercise 1 Translate into Estonian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 They say you’ve been telling lies about me again. I hear she’s been running round the town. They say he wants a new flat. They say you eat here often. That film is supposed to be good. They say you have a car that you haven’t told me about. I heard she’s leaving him. This food is said to be good for your health. We heard that you ski every day.

The most basic elements of language are: Sentence A complete utterance containing a finite verb. Sentences may be statements, questions or exclamations, and the punctuation mark at the end of the sentence – full stop, question mark or exclamation mark, will indicate which kind of sentence it is. Clause A subsection of a sentence, containing a verb. Clauses may be either main clauses or subordinate clauses. A main clause is one which can stand alone as a complete utterance; a subordinate clause adds information to the main clause and refers back to or depends on it. Subordinate clauses are very often introduced by conjunctions of various kinds, such as ‘when’, ‘if ’, ‘that’, ‘and’, ‘or’. Example: I was thinking that you might be late. (Main clause ‘I was thinking’; subordinate clause introduced by that. ) Unlike English, Estonian always has a comma to separate a main clause from a subordinate one. For example, the preceding sentence would be: Ma mõtlesin, et sa võiksid hilineda. Phrase Any group of words linked together by meaning and function in the sentence. ‘Train’ is a noun, but ‘the freight train’ is a noun phrase, for example. Noun a word that names a thing or living being: for example ‘train’, ‘baby’, ‘pillow’, ‘idea’. Adjective a word that describes the quality of a thing: for example ‘red’, ‘old’, ‘fast’. 222 Glossary of grammatical terms Adverb A word that qualifies an adjective or a verb, such as ‘quickly’, ‘now’, ‘lately’, ‘there’. Pronoun A word which stands in place of a noun, such as ‘he’, ‘you’, ‘it’. Verb A word which describes an action, process or state, such as ‘go’, ‘exist’, ‘travel’. Preposition A word which comes before a noun to express a relationship in time or space, such as ‘before’, ‘on’, ‘with’. Conjunction A word which joins words, phrases or clauses or otherwise establishes a relationship between these elements, such as ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘when’, ‘because’. Postposition A word or particle placed after the word it modifies, such as ‘-ward’ in homeward’. Now let us look at the terms used in this book to refer more specifically to Estonian grammar. Because Estonian is what is called an agglutinating language (one which adds extra syllables or suffixes to the stem of a word to perform various grammatical functions rather than using separate words), we will look at the terms under the broad headings of Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs and Adjectives, as these are the stems to which most of the other elements are added. Nouns Nouns in Estonian have two numbers: singular and plural. They are also declined (modified) according to case by the addition of different suffixes to the stem. Below is a list of the Estonian cases with rough English equivalents of their meanings: nominative accusative genitive the basic uninflected form, the subject of the sentence, the performer of the action of the verb the object of the action of the verb. There is no separate accusative case in Estonian; the direct object of the verb will be in the genitive or the partitive case depending on the nature of the verb indicates possession or having, equivalent to ‘of’ or the possessive ’s in English Glossary of grammatical terms partitive illative inessive elative adessive allative ablative translative terminative essive abessive comitative 223 indicates that something is ‘part of’ something else, rather than total; equivalent to the ‘of’ in English a bag of sugar ‘into, to (the interior of)’ ‘in, inside’ ‘from, about’ ‘on’. This case is also used to indicate the possessor in phrases equivalent to ‘have’ in English ‘to, for’ ‘from, out of’ ‘into the form of’ ‘up to, until’ ‘as’ ‘without’ ‘with’ Pronouns These may be either: personal (‘you, he, him’) demonstrative (‘this, that’) interrogative (‘which?, who? ’) or relative (‘which, that’) All are declined in the same way as nouns. Verbs Verbs are conjugated (modified) according to voice, person, tense, mood and what we might call ‘valency’ (whether they are positive or negative). Voice Can be either active (performing an action) or passive (being acted upon) Passive verbs are sometimes called impersonal in this book because a passive verb can never have a subject (performer of the action) in Estonian. 224 Glossary of grammatical terms Person There are three persons – first (‘I’, ‘we’), second (‘you’) and third (‘he/she/it’, ‘they’). Each person can have either a singular or plural number. Tense In Estonian can be either: present (describing an action current at the time of the utterance) past (or imperfect, describing something that took place prior to the time of the utterance) perfect (describing something that ‘has taken place’) or pluperfect (describing something that ‘had taken place’). Mood The mood of a verb can be: indicative (describing action that is real) subjunctive/conditional (describing action that is putative or projected – where we use ‘would/should/could’ in English, and in clauses starting with ‘if’) imperative (commanding or ordering an action) or oblique or reported (describing an action or state which is said to be the case but which the speaker does not necessarily believe) All the verb forms described above are what we call finite – that is, they are limited in their function by the clause in which they are used. There are also non-finite forms, which are independent of any function in the clause, and they are: infinitive (the basic dictionary form of the verb, the ‘to’ form in English. In Estonian there are two infinitives – and different dictionaries list verbs differently: the -da infinitive, which corresponds to the infinitive in other languages; and the -ma infinitive, which we might call the ‘infinitive of purpose’) gerund (the verb used as a noun, such as ‘sitting’, ‘being’, ‘living’ in English) Participles Verbs used in the function of adjectives, to qualify nouns. They are of four kinds: present active (such as ‘seeing’) present passive (such as ‘visible, to be seen’) past active (‘having seen’) past passive (‘having been seen’) Participles are used more frequently in Estonian than English. 225 Adjectives In Estonian, adjectives are declined like nouns for number and case; they are said to agree with the nouns they qualify. This is true for all the noun cases except the last four listed above under Nouns. Adjectives are also declined for degree. There are three degrees: positive (such as ‘much’); comparative (such as ‘more’); superlative (such as ‘most’). Those adverbs that are formed from adjectives are also declined according to degree. Estonian–English glossary Nouns and adjectives are given in the nominative, genitive and partitive cases. Unless the stem of a noun or adjective changes in the genitive or partitive, only the endings are given after the nominative form. Verb infinitives are given in both the -da and -ma forms.

A together-forever couple (Annette Bening and Bill Nighy) unpack the many complications of splitting up, in Oscar-nominated writer-director William Nicholson’s razor-sharp drama. Featuring brilliant performances from Bill Nighy and four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening, this exquisite drama from writer-director William Nicholson will resonate with anyone who has ever navigated the choppy waters of long-term love. Grace (Bening, also at the Festival in The Report) and Edward (Nighy) have been together for 33 years. To celebrate the occasion, they've invited their London-based son Jamie (Josh O'Connor) to visit them at their home on the Sussex coast, where the picturesque cliffs of Hope Gap look out onto the open sea. Communication between the couple is at a nadir, however, with Grace nagging Edward about his lack of enthusiasm and Edward, who has long felt inadequate in his marriage, responding by turning inward — and harbouring secrets. Edward is leaving Grace for another woman, a decision that will result in ongoing turmoil for everyone involved. A veteran of literature, film, and television, Nicholson received Oscar screenwriting nominations for Shadowlands and Gladiator, but nothing in his august body of work quite prepares you for the wit and wisdom woven into each scene of Hope Gap: no one is entirely innocent and nothing, after three decades of coupledom, is simple. The film's poignancy, of course, is dependent on its actors, and you couldn't ask for a more perfect pairing than Bening and Nighy, the former exhibiting an astonishing range of emotion and tactics, the latter tempering his trademark deadpan charisma in favour of a gravitas he's too rarely had the chance to exude.

“This has been BoJack. Horseman, obviously”

If Bojack dies, we riot. warning you Netflix. Home apartment rentals. To think he lost his wife IRL. I'm not watching this. Too depressing. Hope gap cast. Hope gap tiff. Annette Bening in Hope Gap. Photo: Courtesy of TIFF In William Nicholson’s woebegone, autobiographical English drama Hope Gap, a meek-ish man named Edward (Bill Nighy) leaves his voluble wife, Grace ( Annette Bening), and Grace responds the way many educated British characters do as they plummet emotionally: She talks. And she talks. She cries out to her husband in sheer disbelief. She wheedles, needles, and muses histrionically on the meaning of matrimony and family and human and cosmic mercy. It’s not iambic pentameter, but Bening — enunciating in an English accent that had me pushing away images of Emma Thompson, as one would a stray thought while meditating — runs through periods (full stops, in the U. K. ) and inserts pauses mid-sentence, to suggest the squeezing of inchoate panic through the proper channels. The accent gives Bening an odd sibilance as well as an overbite I’ve never noticed: Have her very features been altered by her voice? It’s a fascinating performance, but Grace is too distanced — and too borderline insufferable — to relate to fully, even if you recognize her desperation in the face of abandonment, even if you’ve lived a version of that desperation yourself. The movie — having its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival — is a brief, sad little piece that doesn’t quite hurdle the blood-brain barrier and rattle you to the core, but it does achieve a half-sublimity, thanks to coastal settings with white cliffs that inspire both awe and thoughts of flinging oneself off, and also thanks to poetry. Grace’s pet project is creating an anthology of poems arranged by emotional states (like, say, the feeling of abandonment), and at various points the characters intone the words of those who’ve been here and done that. The big set piece, in fact, is Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s “Sudden Light, ” which begins, “I have been here before, / But when or how I cannot tell, ” and ends with a question — whether love will be restored “In death’s despite, / And day and night yield delight once more? ” Rossetti, the cliffs, and the swelling music (by Alex Heffes) supply what the characters cannot. You don’t blame Nighy’s Edward for leaving. You blame him for how he leaves, slinking off into the arms of a younger woman who has pushed him to sever his miserable marital bond. Nighy plays Edward in his familiar key of awkward formality, stammering and keeping his gaze guiltily low. Edward points out that Grace has found him so consistently annoying over the years that he wonders why she feels so angry and bereft — but if he wonders that, he doesn’t know much about how some marriages work. His sudden realization that he and Grace were never meant to be is moving, but despite several melancholy monologues, the character doesn’t have much stature. Much of our sympathy ends up with the couple’s 29-year-old son, Jamie (Josh O’Connor), whom Grace tries to use as an emissary but who isn’t very good at it. He can’t plead Grace’s case when he doesn’t fully buy it. The actor is affecting: He seems ultimately as puzzled by his parents’ union as the writer-director does. Nicholson is 70 and is primarily known as a writer, and in Hope Gap he doesn’t conceal his artistic flourishes artfully. The camera pans from dishes piling up in the sink to the mantle with its photos and lifetime’s worth of memories or hovers about the waves creeping over the rocks. Sometimes he will frame a character on the side of the wide screen, not so much to express alienation as to keep the person out of the boring center. But he does one thing very well: comedy. Bening gets a real performance rhythm going when Grace buys a dog she names Edward, like her ex-husband, and teaches him the command, “Stay. ” Bening seems more in her element snapping at the dog than she does delivering theatrical plaints. She’s marvelous when Grace volunteers for a grief hotline and ends up commiserating too deeply with her callers — I wanted even more of those scenes. But if Nicholson hasn’t decided whether the end of his parents’ marriage was a comedy or a tragedy, well — who ever does? He’s reaching for something he never gets: That’s not a bad way to lose. Unlike Grace, he loses gracefully. Annette Bening Gives a Fascinating Performance in Hope Gap.

In fact, Harry’d received a call at about two o clock, which was Y/N telling him that the lights had gone out. All of the power in the house was out. Which meant, no air conditioning. They had been naked for about fifteen minutes now. “Oh, fuck me! ” Harry groaned loudly and dramatically as he and Y/N lay on their bed. “It’s so bloody hot in this damn house. ” Y/N didn’t even have the energy to speak. Harry glances over at her, and found he pouting and nodding in ageement. His eyes, naturally looked down a bit, her breasts on display for him. “Don’t bite your lip like that. It’s too hot to have sex. ” He didn’t even realize he was biting his lips. Oops, he thought. “Fine, what about a cuddle? ” “I suppose. ” He sighed as he got closer to me, wrapping his arms around my waist, his head landing right against my breast, his cheek on my nipple. He sighed peacefully. “Goodnight. ” Harry’s body was making Y/N even hotter, but she loved him and he seemed peaceful enough. Eventually, she fell asleep too. When Harry woke up about an hour or two later, the lights were still off and his skin (arms, chest, cheek) was sticking to Y/N’s. He pulled away with a yawn, smiling and kissing her cheek. He layed beside her, kissing her cheek a few more times. She woke up eventually, and she smiled when she noticed him pressing kisses to her cheek. “Morning, ” he laughed. Her eyes were still closed but her smile told him she was awake. “Hi. ” “Had a good nap then? ” She nodded as she sighed, then opened her eyes finally to look at him. “Don’t we have a lamp or something? ” She asked, cuddling closer to him. “Was just thinking about heading to the store, ” his hand was rubbing her back. “Gonna look for a fan, like a battery powered one. And a lamp. Whatever else you think we need. ” “Well…we are running low on one thing…” “On what? ” “…condoms. ” Harry snorted, “yeah? Can’t have that then, can we? ” He felt her shake her head against his chest. Then she kissed his chest, and pulled him a bit tighter. “Are you gonna come with me or do you want to stay here? ” She sighed. “I’ll go. ” They both changed quickly into comfortable clothes that would keep them cool before hopping into Harry’s Range Rover and getting on their way. As they drove, it was quiet, with no sound but the wind since they’d lowered the windows, that is, until Harry spoke reluctantly. “Hey…would you mind if-never mind. ” “Would I mind if what? ” She asked, turning to face him now and interlock his hand with hers. “Nothing, ” he shook his head. “ Tell me. We aren’t afraid to tell each other anything. ” “I know, I just know you’ll feel uncomfortable or whatever and it’s fine, I don’t want to put you in a situation that you don’t want to be in-“ “ Harry, just tell me. ” “I was just going to see if you’d mind if I stopped at me mums, maybe take her a few things. Just to make sure she’s okay but I know the two of you don’t really get along so it’s fine-“ “ Harry, I love that you worry about your mom. And wether she likes me or not doesn’t matter. Of course you can go check up on her. Never worry about the way I feel towards you visiting or helping your mom, because I’m always for it. Why don’t you call her and see what she needs, and I’ll help you find it, then I’ll wait in the car while you take it in. ” “Of course you wouldn’t wait in the car. ” “Well she isn’t going to want me in her home-“ “Last time I spoke to her she said she would try. That’s going to have to be today, ” he spoke as he called his mother. “Hello? Hey, mum…, ours is out too… I’m with Y/N…’re on our way to the store now, was wondering if yeah need anything? We’re gonna get a fan, lamp…whatever else we need…oh, really? Then yeah, probably some food too…yeah, send me a list, mum. Y/N and I will take everything over. She doesn’t care, mum. Alright, love you too. ” “Who doesn’t care about what? Did you just tell your mother I don’t care about something-“ “She said her living room is messy because she was babysitting today and never got around to cleaning up. Said you’d mind, and I said you wouldn’t care. ” “Oh. Okay…what did she say when you said I was with you? ” Harry laughed. “She said oh, okay. And she also mentioned that the radio said the power outage will probably last the week-“ “The week?! ” “Up to the week, but possibly a few days. ” Y/N sighed, sitting back in her seat. “Charge your phone now, because you won’t be able to do it in the house, ” Harry spoke. The store was crowded, as of the people of the city were panicking that they were going to have to spend a week with no wifi or juicers for their green drinks. Harry and Y/N made their way through the store as swiftly as they could, purchasing three battery powered fans and two cases of water bottles, one for themselves and one for Anne. “How many lamps should we get? ” Harry asked. “Uhm, I don’t know. We’ll need one for our bedroom, the bathroom, kitchen…three? Plus some for your mom? ” “So six? ” Harry laughed. “We’re gonna look crazy buyin’ six lamps. ” Y/N laughed as they both began to get lamps and put them into their cart. “We need batteries. ” “For what? ” Y/N asked. “…please tell me you’re joking. ” “I’m not…” “All of this is battery powered, ” he stated. “Yeah, so? Don’t they all come with batteries in them already? ” Harry laughed, “yes, darling but batteries don’t last forever. ” “Oh, duh, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I think I’m just nervous to go to your moms. ” “Don’t worry. We’ll stay for like ten minutes then leave. Just long enough for me to put this shit all over her house. ” “Okay. ” “Shouldn’t we get like a mini fridge or something? Since the fridge isn’t working? ” “Yeah, and we should pick up a few extra candles. And bags of ice, remind me. ” When they got to Harry’s mothers house Y/N was nearly shaking. “It’s okay, ” he promised just before she opened the door. “Hello, ” she smiled. For some reason, Y/N looked directly at Harry. He smiled. “Hey, mum, ” Harry kissed her cheek before she invited us in. Her house was dark, but she had the tv on, and lots of candles, she also had a few lanterns, so it wasn’t heard to see one another or her home. “How are you? ” She asked, but she was looking directly at Y/N. “Oh- uhm, I’m okay, ” Y/N nodded. “Thank you. How are you? ” “I’m okay, ” she said politely. It was awkward then. “Come in, guys, ” she led them further into her home. “Can I get ether of you some tea? Anything to eat? ” “I’m good. Y/N? ” Harry asked. The kitchen had candles around the counter, creating a dim environment where they could still see Anne. “I’m okay. Thank you. ” “Well, I’m going to go start putting this stuff up. Uhm-“ he turned around on his way out. “Be nice. Please, ” he raised his eyebrows at Anne. “So…” Anne smiled. “When will you be graduating? ” Y/N thought: she is either being judgy because I’m so young and still haven’t graduated uni or she was just being nice and trying to make conversation. She assumed the best. “Next year, ” Y/N miled. “That must be exciting, ” Anne grinned. “Come look at these pictures of Harry, ” she beckoned Y/N over to a vertical frame that held various pictures of Harry, after grabbing a flashlight from the counter. “This was his very first day of school, he was only four, going to pre-K, ” she smiled, and Y/N was melting. He had blonde hair and chubby cheeks and his signature cheeky grin. “Aw, he was so adorable, ” she gushed. Anne nodded and smiled at the pictures. “My Harry has always been a lady’s man, ” she smirked. “This was when he graduated from eighth grade, ” they looked at one another and at the same time stated one word, “ Dorky. ” Harry had extremely short, brown, curly hair and he held one thumb up, the other hand holding his eighth grade diploma, and he winked while grinning at the camera. “This was high school. And this last one was just a few years ago, he did a program, for his bachelors and masters at the same time. My little smarty pants. ” “Yeah, Harry is really smart. He helps me with my math work sometimes. ” “Oh, math? Harry’s always been good with numbers. Beats me where he got that gene from. Not me or his father, I can tell you that, ” she laughed. “Gemma isn’t good with maths either. ” “Harry’s very special, ” Y/N laughed, sort of beginning to feel awkward because there were no more pictures left and nothing else to talk about. “He is, ” she agreed. “Can be a bit of a workaholic though, ” her nose scrunched up. “Tell me about it, ” Y/N laughed. “He had the flu once and I had to beg him to stay home. ” “It’s good he has you, then. It’s good be a hard worker but it’s important not to work too hard. Stresses himself out, he does. ” “He sure does. I got him to take a vacation not too long ago. Lately he hasn’t been too bad about it. ” “Does he work nearly everyday of the week still? ” “Okay so we made a deal that he only goes in every other Saturday rather than every Saturday, so it’s a working progress, ” Y/N aughed, and so did Anne. “I’m done, ” Harry walked into the kitchen. Then he gasped. “ We’re laughing? ” “We are, ” Anne spoke. “At what a workaholic you are. ” “My company ain’t gonna run itself! ” He defended. “I know, baby, ” Y/N cooed. Then she remembered where they are. “Uhm, so you all finished up? ” “Yeah. Mum, I’ve got to go set up everything at our house and make a few phone calls to make sure the back up generators at work will be working tomorrow-“ “Here we go, ” Y/N whispered to Anne, and she smirked and nodded, agreeing with Y/N in a hum. “You’re an ass, lovey, ” Harry shook his head. “Mum, we’ve gotta go. I love you, ” Harry kisses her cheek. “Bye, baby. I love you, ” she hugged him. “Bye, Y/N. It was nice talking to you, darling. ” “You too, ” Y/N smiled. “What do you say, ladies? Can harry get a hug out of the two of yeh? ” Harry asked, and the two women laughed before sharing a short hug. “Harry! ” Y/N exclaimed after they got into the car. “Your mom might like me! ” “I think she does like you, and how can she not? You’re an angel. ” “I don’t know that I’m an angel, ” Y/N hummed. “You are. You’re my very own, personal angel. ” Y/N smiled and leaned forward to kiss his him. Their lips met in a soft kiss, and Harry hummed into the kiss, about to kiss her once more before she gasped. “ Fuck. Babe! We forgot about the condoms! ” He sighed, “it’s fine, we’ll stop at a drugstore quickly. How many do we have left? Enough for the week? ” Y/N shook her head. “Only three, baby. ” “That’ll last us until like tomorrow night, ” Harry laughed. “Guess we should go buy more. “Mhm, ” she nodded. “Because I wanna use two tonight, and one in the morning, ” she said innocently. “Is that okay? ” Harry sighed. “Don’t start with me. ” “What do you mean? ” Y/N reached over and placed her hand over his thigh as he drove off. “I heard you call me dorky. We’re not on good terms. ” “Aw, but I thought you said that I’m your very own personal angel? ” She pouted. “Y/N, ” he warned. “ Baby, if you don’t plan on fixing the problem you create in the car then I suggest you don’t start anything until we get home. ” She let her hand wander a bit more, until it was over the slight bulge in his pants. “Oops…I think I made a problem…” Harry clenched his jaw as he tried to remind in control of himself and his movements. His hand fell over hers that cupped his budge and he squeezed. “You’re gonna have to fix it. ” Y/N pulled him out of his pants easily, and he was semi hard already. She pumped him slowly as she leaned over and kissed his arm, near his shoulder (he wore a t shirt. ) She kisses his neck for a while, nibbling just beneath his ear until he had a hickey. “Mm, come here, baby, ” Harry cupped her cheek and kissed her lips as he drove. She could feel that Harry was fully hard now, and she was soon bent over and pressing kisses to Harry’s length. Harry moaned, “don’t tease, lovey. We’re almost there. ” Harry felt her take ahold of his shaft, and then he felt her warm mouth over his tip. He sighed, his hand gently resting against the top of her head. She hallowed her cheeks and began to suck, humming around him before she began to bob her head, because he clearly wasn’t in the mood for teasing and wanted to cum fast, before they got to the store. She dragged her tongue down his shaft then back up, and repeated the motion a few times. “Just like that, baby. Do that again, ” Harry was struggling to keep his eyes open as he drove. Then red and blue lights flashed, and they heard a cop siren for a moment. “That’s for us, ” Harry spoke in realization. Y/N was immediately sitting up and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, and Harry was trying to push himself back into his pants as quickly as possible. There was knocking at his window a moment later. The officer flashes hi flashlight into the car, and in both of their faces. “You know why I pulled you over? ” “No, ” Harry spoke, with the tiniest dash of attitude, and Y/N wanted to slap him. “Your license plate light is out. I’m gonna have to write you a ticket. License and registration please. ” Harry sighed, reaching across Y/N’s lap and into the glove compartment. He handed the officer his registration and then got his wallet from his back pocket for his license. Harry handed it to the officer while staring ahead, clearly annoyed. Y/N was in disbelief at Harry’s subtle rude behavior. When the officer left to write the ticket, Y/N slapped Harry’s shoulder. “Ow! ” He rubbed his shoulder. “Stop giving him attitude, Harry! What’s wrong with you? ” “I was about to come-“ Y/N gasped, shocked that that was the reason Harry was being so childish. “Harry Styles, I-“ “Here you are. Drive safe, get that fixed, ” the officer spokes. “Likewise. Thank you, ” Harry said, and with that the officer left and drove passed them. “…let me guess…you’re not gonna finish me o-“ “ I’m not going to finish you off. ” - Y/N woke up two nights after that, crying. Harry was awoken by her slight tossing and turning, and her whimpers. “No, please…please, stop, ” she whimpered softly and quietly, tears seeping out of her eyes. “Babe? ” Harry hummed. “Stop, ” she whimpered once again. Harry began to shake her gently. “Lovey, you-“ “No, stop! ” She screamed, sitting up and opened her eyes. “Leave him alone! ” She screamed loudly before gasping and suddenly being left panting and trying to turn on the lights as fast as she could. “Baby? Harry? Harry? ” She turned on the lights and when she saw him, his eyes wide and a tiny bit pink from sleepiness, and his lips a bit bigger than usual—she began to sob. Her arms flew around his neck and she held him tight while crying loudly. “Are you okay, Harry? I’m sorry, ” she cried. “I’m okay, I’m okay, ” he assured. “What happened? ‘s the matter? ” She was sniffling and shaking and her shoulders were bobbing every few seconds—her breath hitched a few times before she quietly began to sob again. She never let go of Harry. “I love you so much, H, ” she pulled him closer and held him tighter. “I love you so much. Okay, baby? ” She pulled away, her tears covering her skin and sliding off of her jaw. “Okay? I love you so so much, ” she cried, hugging him again. She kissed the top of his head. “I love you. ” “Darling, I love you too but what’s the matter? Y’startin’ t’scare me, baby girl. ” She sniffled, her eyes squeezing shut as more tears fell. Harry wiped them for her. She kissed his cheek before speaking softly. “I h-had a be dream…and-“ a quiet sob left her mouth, it sounded almost like a whisper scream, and she covered her face with her hands while she cried and shook. And now Harry was scared. “Come here, baby, ” he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head repeatedly. “What happened in your dream, huh? What happened? ” “R-remember the way they beat up that guys in that movie? And his face was all swollen and bloody and bruised? ” Harry nodded. “They-“ her voice broke before she pulled herself together. “They did that to you, Harry. And I couldn’t help you, ” more tears fell down her cheeks. “And you passed out and they lost punching you. Your face was going from side to side, your eye was swollen, your lip was busted, you were all bloody-“ she broke into quiet cries once more. “And I tried to make them stop, ” she covered her eyes as she cried, shaking her head because her voice broke and she just couldn’t speak. “I tried to make them stop but they wouldn’t. They were stronger than me. And I couldn’t save you. ” “Baby, ” Harry sighed. “Look at me, ” he cooed. “Look at my face, ” he said as she looked up at him. I was sound asleep, and were both safe. I’m okay, ” he nodded. “Nothings going to happen to me. Hey, ” Harry got her attention. “I can fight. Look at these, ” he slapped his own bicep and flexed. “Nobody can beat me up. ” She was giggling while tears slid down her cheeks. “Be quiet, you’re stupid. ” Harry laughed and pouted a bit before kissing her nose. “Serious. I’m okay. ” Her breath hitched a few times, and it almost made Harry tear up. “ Baby, ” he cooed. “I promise I’m okay. See? Nothings swollen or bloody or bruised, ” he turned his face from side to side. “ ‘cept for this, you gave me that one, ” Harry turned his face to the side and pointed to the hickey on his neck, below his ear, from the night in the car. He smiled when she smiled and looked down. “ Doesn’t hurt though, ” he assured quickly. “I quite like it. ” She hugged him then, and cuddled into him, rubbing her cheek against his chest. “I love you, bubba. ” “I love you more, ” he kissed her head and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “I can’t wait to marry you. You are perfect and you always know how to make me feel better. ” Harry didn’t really know where that came from, those were strong words. But he just pulled her close and kissed her head again. “I can’t wait either, ” he mumbled softly. - And they’d shared a cute moment last night, but in the morning, Harry was a bit bothered, and there was some tension. Harry opened Y/N’s mail. “Hey, baby, ” she’d come downstairs early in the morning, wrapping her arms around his shoulders from behind, seeing as he sat having a cup of coffee. “Hey, lovey, ” he kissed her arm since it was right near his lips. “Made you some coffee. It’s in the kitchen, didn’t want it to get cold. ” “Okay, thank you, ” she said and Harry hummed as she walked to the kitchen. She came back soon, walking slowly as she yawned, sitting on the chair beside Harry with her legs folded as she had her first sip. “Babe, the mail came, ” Harry spoke. “Anything interesting? ” She laughed a little before she drank more coffee. “Well, no, but…you got a bill…” “For what? ” “Student loans? ” He asked. She was quiet as he set her coffee down. “I thought I was paying your tuition? ” “You are. Those are loans from my first year. ” “I thought I payed off all of your loans. ” “You payed off most of them. ” “ Well I was under the impression that I payed all of them and you weren’t paying any bills, ” he stated, clearly bothered. “And you knew that. ” “Okay, sorry, but I think I need to pay something for myself, ” Y/N was bothered by the fact that Harry was bothered, but tried to keep things as calm as possible. “But you didn’t tell me that. ” There was silence because Y/N wanted to ask why she has to tell him anything? “I didn’t know that you had to know about every aspect of my life. ” Harry laughed at that. “We’ve been together longer than two years I would hope I know a lot about your life, ” he shot back. “I don’t know why you’re acting so offended, ” Y/N spoke. “Because I am offended! ” Harry laughed loudly. “You lies to me. You’re keeping stuff from me, I’m supposed to be okay with that-“ “Oh my gosh, Harry, please. Don’t act like this is so serious. So what, I’m paying my student loans, I don’t think it’s that much of a problem. You’re talking like I’ve been meeting up with someone in private and you just found out. I’m not keeping things from you or lying to you. I just didn’t find it worth mentioning. You don’t mention when you pay the water bill or the gas bill, do you? No, ” she answered for him. “I love how you think I’m okay with that though. ” “I’m allowed to pay something for myself! You pay everything around here! ” “Because I can, ” his eyes widened a little. “When you pay things, that I know you can’t afford from your internship, it makes me feel guilty. I hate when you pay for things because I know I work hard so that you don’t have to. I’m in a well enough position where I can pay everything for you and you haven’t got to waste a cent of your own. I feel bad when you do. I feel like I’m not doing my job. ” Y/N sighed. Sure, they raised their voices a bit but they always tried to remain as calm as possible in arguments. She reached for his hand and he let her. “Baby, I know you feel like you’re supposed to support me one hundred percent, and I hear what you’re saying and I get it—but you have to understand where I’m coming from too. I feel bad enough that you pay for everything. I feel bad that you paid for my entire college education-“ “No I didn’t, ” he spoke, because of the loans she was paying that he just discovered. “Harry, ” she sighed. “I feel useless when you pay for everything. I feel guilty for taking the money to work so hard for. ” “But baby, the only reason I work as hard as I do is to make sure you’re not spending. ‘s why I work. For you to have what you want at no cost. I love spoiling you. ” “I know, ” she hummed, rubbing her thumb over his hand. “So what’s going to be the solution to this? ” Harry asked.  Y/N sighed. “I don’t know. You pay for everything, can’t you just accept it and let me pay se small one time fees? ” Harry was biting the inside of his bottom lip. “Promise to tell me if you need help in the future? ” Y/N nodded. “Fine, ” he stated. She kissed his lips softly, “thank you. ”.

Home appraiser menifee ca. Hope gap film trailer. Hope gap streaming. Thank you William Nicholson for saving my Dinard Film Festival 2019. After viewing several so un-innovative "real stories" Red Joan, Fisherman's Friends) and "social realism" films (The Last Tree, VS - even though VS's world of rap battles was fascinating) I was getting really disappointed in British cinema.
Hope Gap made up for all that. It is beautifully acted (Annette Bening is extraordinary) deep and subtle, and does carry you away. Home garden victoria cd. September 6, 2019 7:55PM PT Annette Bening plays a woman blindsided by her husband's decision to leave after three decades in William Nicholson's low-key British drama. In “Hope Gap, ” Annette Bening plays a fiercely intelligent but not nearly independent enough English housewife who has been toiling away on a project for years. A lover of literature, and poetry in particular, Bening’s character Grace is compiling a book of verses for the full range of human experience. She intends to call it “I Have Been Here Before, ” and it will serve as a kind of life preserver for the dejected and depressed, reminding that no one is experiencing hardship for the first time, and that others more eloquent have managed to put those feelings to paper, signaling the way through for all who follow. Writer-director William Nicholson intends “Hope Gap” to work in much the same way. Slow and stuffy, like a filmed play, but also considerably more nuanced and mature than your typical relationship drama, it’s the story of a marriage that ended almost entirely out of the blue after the couple had been together for 29 years. Except the split wasn’t unexpected; it had been telegraphed in tiny ways almost every day for decades, until at last, it came to a head, and the husband (played by Bill Nighy) left, enlisting his son (Josh O’Connor) to help Grace cope with the separation. It’s a difficult prospect, inspired by the divorce of Nicholson’s own parents, and the filmmaker navigates it as sensitively as possible in order to be fair to both parties. In the process, his characters’ pain, and also their resilience, serve to let others know they’re not alone. That’s a noble aim, I suppose, but a rather dreary one for audiences seeking escapism, rather than a suicide hotline — which, incidentally, is where Grace volunteers to work, channeling her newfound cynicism into a kind of surly commiseration with those worse off than she feels. Woe is the soul who suggests “Hope Gap” as a date night. A film like this is better watched at home, curled up beneath the quilt with a pint of Cherry Garcia and a box of Kleenex. More than just the metaphorical discrepancy between Grace’s expectations and the reality of her marriage, “Hope Gap” is an actual place, a scenic stretch of cliffs in Sussex, facing south toward France. It’s a perfectly lovely spot to throw oneself into the ocean — and don’t think that hasn’t occurred to Grace, although she’s none too keen about scraping her face across the white chalk limestone on the way down. Grace and her husband have shared a house not far from the cliffs for decades, firmly entrenched in their routines. Grace never finishes her tea. Edward comes home, makes a cup for himself and retreats to his desk on the other side of the house. Edward is a history professor who spends his evenings “wikiing” (correcting articles on Wikipedia), which inspires one of Nicholson’s many fuddy-duddy riffs on how modern society seems out of sync with his obsolete characters: “If you make a history mistake in a Wiki article, you click undo and revert it. ” (There’s an even more groan-worthy one later, about paying with a chip-equipped credit card: “It’s all contactless now. ”) Nicholson is a gifted writer with an impressive list of credits that includes “Unbroken, ” “Gladiator” and “Les Misérables” (nearly all of which were co-written, which makes his contributions a bit tricky to parse, although more can be told from his C. S. Lewis biopic, “Shadowlands, ” based on his own play). He gives in a bit too easily to showing his wit, which is backed by a kind of earnestness that can be uncomfortable to watch — at least to the extent that “Hope Gap” is personal, a reflection of what his parents went through. Grace adopts a dog and names it after her husband. A detail like that would be corny if someone had made it up, but here it’s just heartbreaking. In the weeks to follow, whenever their grown son Jamie comes home, he finds her sitting on the hall stairs, as if waiting for Edward to return. Again, brutal. He doesn’t let his father off easy (Edward waits until he falls for someone else — the mother of one of his pupils — before finding the courage to leave), nor does he begrudge the man his newfound bliss. When Grace confronts the other woman, the stranger matter-of-factly replies, “I think I thought there were three unhappy people, and now there’s only one. ” The final dagger. What has Jamie lost, raised in a household without real love between his parents? They felt it once, maybe — although a story about how they met (on the wrong train) suggests their son is the only good thing to come of the marriage. And even he seems stunted in matters of romance and home-building, judging by his life back in London. How much of himself has Nicholson put into Jamie? “I never asked myself if she was happy or what she was thinking, ” the young man shares early on — although casting Bening, who seems to have looped her English-accented lines, as his mother seems like the highest compliment, and the actress is excellent in all her bedraggled desperation. In any case, it seems like Edward was equally uncurious about a wife he took for granted, a wife who gets on his nerves. “You go for him, ” Jamie reproaches her. “He should fight back, ” she says. “I want a reaction. ” What she wants is reassurance. Something has been not right about their marriage for ages, and Edward is too mild-mannered to address it. We’re used to seeing Nighy play salty, extroverted characters, garrulous and good-natured, but Edward is like an old ficus, bent over by years of badgering. The more Grace picks at him, the more he retreats … until such time that he has backed himself out of the marriage entirely. Grace wants them to stay together, but it’s clear that neither Jamie nor Nicholson shares that view. The marriage has run its course. It happens. And where do people turn when it does? Well, now they’ll have “Hope Gap” to cling to — proof that someone has been here before.

William Nicholson's drama stars Annette Bening and Bill Nighy as an aging British couple navigating an unexpected divorce. Hope Gap arrives as a rare modern example of the old-school British playwright brand of cinema, in which the camera is trained obediently upon well-spoken actors as they precisely enunciate their well-wrought lines. Aside from the occasional drone shot that ventures out past the white cliffs to scenically take in the English Channel below, this is a film that could as easily have been made in 1949 as in 2019, which to a handful of viewers will represent a good thing but to others will seem impossibly retrograde. A mature public, which represents the target audience for veteran screenwriter William Nicholson's study of the divorce of a longtime couple played by Annette Bening and Bill Nighy, will mostly wait to catch this on home screens rather than in a cinema. Puzzling though it may be, the film's title is positively scrutable compared to that of the play it is based on, Nicholson's The Retreat From Moscow. Napoleon's humiliation, a tad grandiose a metaphor for a husband's abandonment of his presumably once-cherished wife, is mentioned briefly in the drama, which originally debuted onstage at the 1999 Chichester Festival. With John Lithgow and Eileen Atkins in the leading roles, the Broadway production was a modest success and multiple Tony Awards nominee in the 2003-04 season. Act one is set almost entirely in the cozy Seaford, East Sussex, home of Edward and Grace, whose 29th anniversary is approaching (in the stage version they've been married 33 years). Wasting no time, Nicholson fearlessly gets right to the point in exposing the couple's winterish discontent. Grace issues such tart complaints as, “Do I have to do everything? ” and “I say things. Why don't you say things? ” and then boldly inquires, “We are happy, aren't we?, ” to which Edward blandly replies, “Why wouldn't we be? ” In search of a bit of solace, Grace thereupon toddles off to Sunday mass; naturally, Edward is a non-believer. Thus is laid out the measure of Edward's displeasure. “Things are coming to a head, ” Edward, a teacher, warns his son Jamie (Josh O'Connor), who's briefly down from London and learns the news of his father's intention to leave his mother before she does. “She'll be better off without me, ” Edward insists, before adding that, oh, by the way, “There's someone else. ” When he succinctly announces all this to Grace upon her return from church, she is incredulous and insists that he stay so they can right the ship. For his part, Edward believes that saying “I'm no good for you” should be enough; all he wants is a quick exit from the excruciating situation, which he manages. The only thing missing here is a curtain coming down or a title announcing, “End of Act One. ” Every dramatic detail in this relatable microdrama is scrupulously tended to, every comma and period is in place, every sorry admission is conveyed with just the right measure of weary regret or anger, and each attempt by Grace to perform a last-minute rescue proves more pathetic than the last. What's most admirable in the writer's approach is his even-handed fairness toward both characters, his refusal to point a finger of blame or subtly take sides. Neither is more in the wrong than the other; the only thing that's unfair is that one of them has someone else to go to, while the other is left high and dry. Bening, employing a steady, all-purpose British accent, credibly registers the full measure of shock, dismay and disbelief that any woman, but perhaps especially a long-married one in her 60s, might be expected to convey. As for the older-looking Edward, he just wants to get out of the room and go somewhere to quietly read a book without Grace bothering him all the time. Nighy has often played wild, unhinged, hilarious characters, so his seriously tamped-down turn here reveals the far opposite end of his range. What's odd about this take on a long-term couple's break is that it is conducted in front of an adult son, so there's hope after the half-hour first act that Jamie, who is in his mid-20s, might emerge with a monkey wrench to twist the drama in an unexpected direction. Unfortunately, the young man, both as written and acted, proves to be a wash-out, a gaping-mouthed lad who has no spark, insight or anything useful to say and is scarcely believable as the son of his two intelligent, if emotionally imbalanced, parents. The fact that O'Connor resembles neither of the actors playing his parents can't go unnoticed, either. After a spell spent sharing Grace's self-imposed solitary misery, the film turns to the couple's first post-split encounter where they're meant to sign papers giving her full ownership of their house, which unsurprisingly doesn't go as planned. Visits to the great cliffs overlooking the Channel provide an occasional visual break (the pic's title refers to a certain spot along the coast), but nothing can conceal that the whole enterprise feels hyper-calculated in what might call an anti-Pinterish way, in that bile and biliousness are held in check. Nicholson directed one previous film, the 1830s-set romantic melodrama Firelight in 1997, and his approach here can simply be called direct and fully devoted to the support of the script. The issue is that there is no subtext or undertones, the suggestion of nuance and complexities. The characters proclaim their positions, announce what they feel and think but, despite this, we know little about them other than their feelings about the immediate subject at hand. Hope Gap may engage the mind up to a point with its pithy dialogue and resourceful players, but it offers little insight into the complexities and wages of wedlock.

Taking place in a small seaside town in rural England, it follows the breakup of a married couple and the fallout that it has on their lives and their adult son, who is working in tech and living out on his own in the city.

The eponymous village, located in a remote part of Eastern Pernambuco – far from civilization and difficult to access – is home to generations of outlaws, who live there in relative harmony. This, however, is soon disturbed when Bacurau quite literally disappears from the maps, and targeted killings begin.

This was truly something.  Mum and I went to see this at the cinema having no idea what the plot was and as the film went on we squeezed each other’s hands and laughed loudly and cried quietly in the dark. The handling of these flawed characters was exquisite, and while the whole thing felt a lot like a stage play, it never felt dishonest. Mum and I are both very moved, if not a little unsure what to say. Good little 3 hander drama about a marriage breakdown, well performed. "A film about a marriage breaking up after 33 years could be just about the saddest thing imaginable, second only to one about a marriage ending after 45 Years. The harsh reality of suddenly being alone at an age where it becomes harder to meet new people is terrifying; the implications that the separation creates about the past are unbearable. But rather than focusing on the shock of the event or dwelling on the misery of it, British director and celebrated screenwriter William Nicholson chooses to address the break-up by circling around it until enough time has passed for it to be seen in a more reasonable light. " Full review on Cineuropa. London film festival 2019: It’s your typical “quite nice“ film. Nice character building, charmingly funny, but mostly heartbreaking, nice landscape shots. At the same time, you don’t feel you would miss to much by skipping this. This did not seem like it would be a very good movie at ALL in its early goings, with Annette Bening playing the impossible Brit harpy who drives sweet Bill Nighy to divorce her. But it builds and deepens and has some nice moments of earned grace. Popular Lists More.

2 / 5 stars 2 out of 5 stars. The Oscar nominee wrestles with an ill-fitting British accent playing a woman whose life crumbles after her husband leaves for another woman Annette Bening plays the gregarious and needy wife Grace in Hope Gap. Photograph: Robert Viglasky A s well-trodden as the subject might be, there remains something horribly compelling about watching the end of a marriage play out on screen, the uneasy little details of what happens when someone switches to I Don’t proving hard to resist. In Hope Gap, Oscar-nominated screenwriter William Nicholson’s second film as director, we’re given an all-too-familiar set-up (husband tells long-serving wife that he’s leaving her for a younger woman) and the stage is set for blistering quarrels, messy untangling and two awards-aiming performances. But despite the clear dramatic potential of the wounds of divorce, proved time and time again by films ranging from An Unmarried Woman to this Oscar season’s Marriage Story, Nicholson fails to give his film the specificity and emotional depth required to make it seem necessary. We’ve been here before and nothing in the film’s 100-minute length truly justifies why we’re back here again. In the coastal town of Seaford, Grace (Annette Bening) and Edward (Bill Nighy) share a modest life, a comfortably learned dynamic set firmly, perhaps boringly, in place after 33 years together. Grace is gregarious and needy, Edward reserved and serious, and while her desire for more affection and vocal reassurances might cause mild tension, her pleas have become part of the script they’re both used to playing out day after day, year after year. But when Edward urges their son Jamie (God’s Own Country’s Josh O’Connor) to return for the weekend, it soon becomes clear that something is brewing. Grace’s paranoia over Edward’s lack of eye contact and nervousness around her is suddenly, abruptly justified when he announces that he’s leaving her for another woman. While there’s a nervy propulsion behind these initial scenes, especially during Edward’s painful pre-dump prep, the breakup happens so soon into the film that we’re left scratching our heads over what’s to come next. It turns out the answer is largely nothing and in place of a plot, there’s a repetitive cycle of crying, beach-walking and moping that might have felt less plodding if we had more investment in the couple at its centre. Their relationship is painted with recognisably broad strokes (the nagging wife and repressed husband) and despite two inarguably accomplished actors, there’s a niggling disconnect. Nighy’s well-meaning, if unacceptably cowardly, husband is played with an affecting subtlety but a miscast Bening struggles to match him. She’s hampered with an ill-fitting British accent she’s never truly comfortable with and so much of her performance is muddied by her struggle to sound believable as a Brit that little room is left for her to seem believable as a person. It’s ultimately as awkward for her as it is for us. There are glimmers of insight along the way, particularly in how Grace compares a divorce to a murder and how spurned women are devalued in comparison with widows, but it’s mostly surface. Introducing their son as a key component is an interesting move but it’s never one that really pays off and Nicholson’s attempts to capture twentysomething life border on embarrassing. There’s the odd excursion into the city and a handful of supporting characters but it’s mostly a three-hander in a limited number of locations. Aware of how stagey this might seem, Nicholson and cinematographer Anna Valdez-Hanks do offer up some stunning coastal vistas but matched with a swelling score, we’re left craving a narrative of equal weight and as devastating as Grace’s predicament is, the pathos never comes. Divorce is painful but Hope Gap isn’t damn near painful enough. Hope Gap is showing at the Toronto film festival.

I kind of had a high hope for this animation because I've seen a lot of people were saying that this animation was so popular in China and a lot of people created a lot of accounts on Weibo. So, as long as I've seen it's out, I immediately watched it. Nezha mo tong jiang shi soundtrack.

 

Before I watched this animation, Nezha Zhi Mo Tong Jiang Shi, I've seen in a lot of reviews that Nezha is very ugly. I kind of agreed with them until I knew the reason why they decided to create him that way instead of cute and handsome kind of kid. It's because of who he is. So, I no longer think that Nezha is so ugly.

Hopefully it also shows their reactions to the Free Murdoc campaign as well. That was some crazy shit, dude. I still have a letter from Uncle Murdy himself. Gorillaz reject false icons watch movies. RIP Ibrahim ferrer. Gorillaz: reject false icons watch movie youtube. Gorillaz: reject false icons watch movie free. Reject False Icons is a film which is a real treat for fans of Gorillaz. In short, the film covers the making of "Humanz" and "The Now Now" while their Humanz Tour took place during 2017 and 2018. The entire film is shot in black/white, with some exceptions here and there. It gives a nice touch.
The film itself does not have any commentary or offers any, and as such, the movie goes on in showing highlights of their tour and composing of the albums. It's really interesting to see how Damon and Jamie have worked a lot the past 20 years on Gorillaz, and if I am honest, the movie sparkled the light and made me remember why I love Gorillaz in the first place.
The band has become from a 3 man team to a full-fledged 100+ family. Gorillaz has become such a diverse band and has a criminal record of collaborations around the world. During the clips you saw while the album Humanz was made, you could see and feel the excitement of the entire team during production. They were on fire, had passion, and made the thing as good as it can be. It's a bunch of people working on new projects, while the hyperrealistic nature of the 4 characters is always put first. The band is one of the best that are out there and just started after 2 people sat on a couch and said "Let's make a band" intending to criticise the music industry with each of the characters resembling an oversaturation of a tribe.
The film included a lot of live performances from various albums and paid tribute to Ibrahim Ferrer (Latin Simone, also known for Buena Vista Social Club in Kuba. Bobby Womack (Stylo) which was one of the best moments in the film. It showed respects to so many talented people, everyone was treated equally and shown in the film at least thrice. There were a lot of unique artists being on stage and behind the scenes.
The film had some honourable mentions, including:

• Damon sneezing on-stage, never happened to him once.
• Him visiting a musical group which made their instruments out of reusable material, and got handed a custom made violin
• Him screaming into the camera like a madman and playing a banana like a saxophone afterwards
• The Now Now took only 5 weeks and was recorded during the break of the Humanz tour

As of their tour, they have performed 96 times over 2 years and played music as high as over a week worth.
Reject False Icons is a documentary which shows character, charm, and love for the band we know.

Being a long time Gorillaz fan and loving the Bananaz documentary I was really looking forward to seeing this film.
This documentary captures the recording and tours of Humanz and The Now Now.
I would have liked to have seen more behind the scenes studio content and less concert footage. Also found it frustrating only hearing 20 second snippets of their songs.

A stand-alone sequel, Brahms: The Boy II, is scheduled to be released on February 21, 2020. Plot [ edit] Greta Evans, a young American from Montana, is hired as a nanny by the Heelshires. Upon arriving in their small town in the United Kingdom, the elderly couple show Greta her charge: a porcelain doll named Brahms that they treat like their son. They then close the doors behind them so that they can ask Brahms if he wants Greta as his babysitter. The old couple come out and say that Brahms agreed despite having "rejected" many previous babysitters. Over the next day, the couple coach Greta on taking care of Brahms and their house, leave her a list of rules to follow, then leave for a holiday. The rules include reading to Brahms in a loud, clear voice, playing loud music for him, and putting his food in the freezer if he doesn't eat it. It also includes setting up rat traps outside, to make sure the rats don't get inside the house's walls. Initially, Greta ignores the rules about the doll and follows her own routine. She regularly calls her sister Sandy, who tells her that her abusive ex-boyfriend Cole has been trying to find out where she is. Malcolm, the local grocery dealer, stops by to deliver groceries, and Greta learns that the real Brahms was killed in a fire 20 years ago on his eighth birthday. Greta accepts Malcolm's offer to show her the town, and prepares for the date. However, her dress and jewelry vanish while she is in the shower, and she is lured to the attic by strange noises and locked in. She is mysteriously let out the next morning. She explains to Malcolm what happened, and they briefly discuss the real Brahms, whom Malcolm said Mr. Heelshire described as "odd. " Strange things begin to happen: a child's sobs are heard in the hallways, phone calls are cut off, and the doll seems to move on its own, vanishing and reappearing elsewhere in the house. After receiving a phone call in which a child's voice urges her to follow the rules, Greta locks herself in her room. She later finds a peanut butter and jelly sandwich outside her door. Believing that Brahms' spirit lives within the doll, Greta begins to take the rules more seriously. Remembering that the Heelshires said Brahms was shy, Greta realizes that the doll only moves when she isn't in the room with him. She shows Malcolm that the doll can move on by itself, and he becomes worried. He informs Greta that the real Brahms was friends with a young girl about his age. One day, she was found in the forest with her skull crushed. Before the police could question Brahms, the Heelshires' house was burned down with him in it. Malcolm warns Greta not to stay in the house, but Greta, having previously suffered a miscarriage after she was beaten by Cole, feels obligated to care for Brahms. Elsewhere, the Heelshires write a goodbye letter to Brahms, then drown themselves. One evening, Cole abruptly appears in the house and announces his intention to bring Greta back home, by force if necessary. Malcolm makes an early delivery and decides to stay nearby. As she puts Brahms to sleep, Greta asks Brahms for help. Cole wakes up and sees a message written in blood urging him to leave. Believing it was done by either Greta or Malcolm, Cole angrily snatches the doll from Greta and smashes it. The house begins to shake and the lights start flickering. Cole hears noises behind a mirror and investigates. The mirror explodes and knocks Cole to the ground. A strange voice calls Greta's name from the hole behind the mirror and a grown man wearing a porcelain mask identical to the doll's face emerges. It is revealed to be Brahms. Brahms apparently survived the fire and now has been living in the passages behind the walls of the house, the rules being in place so that Brahms could get food and hear through the walls. Brahms attacks and kills Cole, then turns on Malcolm and Greta. A chase ensues throughout the house. Greta and Malcolm discover Brahms' room while trying to find an exit. A doll made from Greta's missing dress, hair and jewelry is in Brahms' bed. Greta finds the final letter from the Heelshires revealing their plan of leaving Greta as a mate for Brahms. Brahms catches them and severely beats Malcolm, threatening to kill him if Greta leaves. Greta flees anyway, but then she returns with the intention of saving Malcolm. Arming herself with a screwdriver, Greta invokes the rules to force Brahms to go to bed. He asks for a good night kiss, and when he tries to kiss her, she stabs him with the screwdriver. Brahms throws Greta across the room and tries to choke her, but she pushes the screwdriver deeper into his organs and he collapses. Greta drags Malcolm to his car and sighs with relief as they leave the estate. Later, Brahms, who has survived, is seen repairing the shattered doll.

STXfilms and Lakeshore Entertainment's follow-up to horror film director William Brent Bell's PG-13 horror-thriller The Boy starring Lauren Cohan and Rupert Evans began principal photography earlier this year in Vancouver, British Columbia. The original film was produced for less than 15 million and grossed 68M worldwide so this sequel seems kind of unsurprising to say the least. And today we have not only your first look at the new film but a release date as well. You can check out the first look pic above and/or below. Moving on quickly, we now have word that The Boy 2 will be creeping around in the walls of your local multiplex come July 26, 2019. And speaking of July 26, 2019, it's an interesting date for the powers that be behind the scenes to pick, considering that's the same day the next Quentin Tarantino motion picture, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is set to open. Do they think it's a good idea to go up against that movie? I mean the name Tarantino should be enough to scare them off, but then add in heavyweights such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie (to name a few) and I think The Boy 2 is going to get buried on arrival. But maybe not. Written by Stacey Menear, who also penned its predecessor, The Boy 2 follows a young family that moves into the Heelshire Mansion estate, unaware of the terrifying history. Once all set up and cozy, their young son makes an unsettling new friend, you guessed it, an eerily life-like doll he calls Brahms. Cohan and Evans are not returning this time around and have instead been replaced with Katie Holmes ( Batman Begins) who leads the cast with Christopher Convery ( The Girl in the Spider's Web) to co-star as her son. Owain Yeoman ( The Belko Experiment) joins as her husband, and Ralph Ineson ( Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Witch) will play the mysterious role of some dude named "Joseph. The Boy director William Brent Bell ( Stay Alive, The Devil Inside, Wer) will return behind the camera for this new Brahms adventure as well. The Boy 2 is produced by Lakeshore's Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Eric Reid, in addition to Matt Berenson, Jim Wedaa and Roy Lee. For those that need a refresher, the original film followed The Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan as a young American named Greta who takes a job as a nanny for an 8-year-old boy in a remote English village. To her surprise, Greta learns that the child of her new employers isn't a child at all, but a totally not creepy life-size doll. She watches as the old couple take care of the doll as if it was human, which evidently helps them cope with the death of their real son some 20 years back. The couple then leaves Greta alone with the doll and a list of strict-ass rules. And as you might imagine this being a "scary" movie and all, eventually things take a turn for the creepy, kooky, and spooky, leading Greta to believe that the doll is alive. Moo-Haha. The original movie was directed by Brent Bell from a screenplay also written by Menear. Matt Berenson, Jodyne Herron, Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg, and Jim Wedaa produced and the film starred Cohan as Greta, Rupert Evans ( Hellboy) as Malcolm, Jim Norton as Mr. Heelshire, Diana Hardcastle as Mrs. Heelshire, Ben Robson as Cole, Jett Klyne as young Brahms Heelshire, James Russell as adult Brahms Heelshire, and Lily Pater as Emily Cribbs.

En cuanto al aprendiz de maestro de esgrima, recibió más de un floretazo, pero apretaba los dientes y no se desanimaba, pues pensaba que si tenía miedo no sería para él la casa. los Hermanos Grimm El Maestro debe emprender los trabajos del propietario en las condiciones más justas y equitativas, y emplear lo que a éste pertenezca como si se tratase de sus propios bienes. No ha de dar a cada aprendiz o compañero más salario que el que realmente merezca. – Si tuviera mi cortafrío (parecía un aprendiz de cerrajero) le saltaría esos ojos blancos como se saca una almendra de su cáscara. 16 y 17, sobre óperas; ídem 9, sobre las noticias de turcos y rusos, y 39, sobre el número 20) y el deseo que a continuación expresa prueba que su intento no es el de echar abajo al Correo, sino el de corregirle; es imparcial, puesto que a los mismos sujetos que en un paraje deprime, en otro alaba, según cree merecerlo; por ejemplo, el señor Anfriso, de quien dice: «Si sus poesías son buenas, como tengo motivos para creerlo»; a quien defiende después contra el Aprendiz, que desmedidamente le ataca; lo mismo sucede con el señor Vega, etc. Mariano José de Larra Maese Chevassut, anudándose los cordones, se levanta y se vuelve a sentar dirigiendo la palabra de vez en cuando al aprendiz que, rígido como un santo de piedra, se ha sentado, accediendo a su invitación, en el borde de un escabel, y le mira con vacilación y timidez. En el obrador, Tono tenía su víctima: el pobre Menut, un muchacho enclenque que meses antes aún era aprendiz, y al que los camaradas reprendían por el excesivo afán de trabajo que mostraba, siempre ansiando un aumento de jornal para poder casarse. Vicente Blasco Ibáñez -Jorge va a recibir la confirmación para Pascuas -dijo la mujer del portero. Tan mayor era ya. -Convendría ponerlo de aprendiz -observó el padre. Habría que darle un buen oficio; y sería una carga menos. Hans Christian Andersen Tantas veces había escuchado de labios de su patrón y de todos los demás que trabajaban en el taller donde hacía ya más de cinco años se desempeñaba como aprendiz, aquellos comentarios burlones, maliciosos, descarnados y bestiales, que Adolfo se inquietaba al oirlos. Antonio Domínguez Hidalgo Pues lo mismo me ocurre hoy a mí, después de haber sido recibida por este gran señor. ¿Ves lo bien que hicimos al no poner a Jorge de aprendiz? Hans Christian Andersen A la finalización del contrato el empleador deberá entregar al aprendiz un certificado suscripto por el responsable legal de la empresa, que acredite la experiencia o especialidad adquirida. No podrán ser contratados como aprendices aquellos que hayan tenido una relación laboral previa con el mismo empleador. Agotado su plazo máximo, no podrá celebrarse nuevo contrato de aprendizaje respecto del mismo aprendiz. Al cabo de un año ganó la segunda medalla de plata, y después, la primera. -Más nos hubiera valido ponerlo de aprendiz! exclamaba llorando la mujer del portero- así lo hubiéramos tenido a nuestro lado. Hans Christian Andersen.

Countries=France Ashley Chen Creator=Alla Kovgan genres=Documentary Director=Alla Kovgan. Him: “Its green day.” =video cuts to Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day= Me: subscribes immediately. Brilliant! What a find. September 8, 2019 6:08AM PT This sensational 3D doc celebrates American dancer and choreographer Merce Cunninghams work by reenacting a number of his iconic dances. Good nonfiction storytelling requires artistry beyond talking heads and archives, though creative vision sometimes feels purposely concealed or standardized in documentaries to prioritize substance over style. But heres a dance documentary that splendidly flaunts its artistic point of view, and fittingly so. Moscow-born filmmaker Alla Kovgan s feature debut “Cunningham” is what an artform celebrating the very nature and a practitioner of another artform should look and feel like. This is a good time to remember that nonfiction films can be theatrical experiences that demand to be seen on the largest screen possible. Shot in glorious 3D that makes the technical mode feel indispensable (like in Wim Wenders comparable dance documentary “Pina, ” sure, but also Ang Lees “Life of Pi” and even James Camerons “Avatar”) Kovgans ode to choreography master Merce Cunningham is sensational in every sense of the word. Renewing ones appreciation of the many wonders of the human body and the space in which it fills and drifts, “Cunningham” celebrates all the things our joints and flexed muscles are capable of, as seen through the mind and poetic dances of an iconic creator. The artist Kovgan celebrates throughout the vivid frames and staging of her film had been a groundbreaking pioneer of American modern dance for over five decades. You dont really have to know anything about dance or choreography to appreciate the arresting depth of field or the inventive multi-dimensional art direction in “Cunningham” — although I bet those who know the icons work inside and out will connect with Kovgans effort at a deeper level. Thats because the filmmakers imagery loyally follows in Cunninghams footsteps and reenacts the ideas of an artist who thought of dance as a visual experience. “We dont interpret something. We present something. The interpretation is left up to the audience” was Cunninghams motto. Internalizing this, Kovgan leans heavily on presentation and leaves the processing of things up to the viewers. In that, “Cunningham” comes with a sense of freedom, maybe even a prescription to allow your imagination to run wild. With kinetic energy, “Cunningham” picks and chooses from the artists influential body of work between 1942-72 (the first 30 years of his career) and restages excerpts from 14 select dances alongside Robert Swinston and Jennifer Goggans, two fixtures of Cunninghams dance company. We switch from outdoors to indoors — there are rooftops, a tunnel, a garden and studio spaces that feel either like an explosion of colors or minimally designed, lacquered jewel boxes. A standalone camera guides our immersion in the material and at times, approaches something akin to virtual reality, with 3D making the viewer feel like a part of the action. The crown jewels of the dances depicted are the vibrant “Summerspace” (1958) and the hypnotic “RainForest, ” (1968) with Andy Warhols sleek, hovering silver pillows. And then there are scrapbook-type artifacts to complete the adornment of the package: photographs, letters as well as various pieces of footage captured during tours or rehearsals. With a sharp sense of composition and assured handle on the relationship between foreground and background, Kovgan embellishes the depths of the screen with such material, challenging the viewers eyes to survey the entire screen to appreciate all the layers of this visually atypical collage of archival material. There is both intimacy and vastness in “Cunningham, ” along with utmost choreographic discipline, lightened by the dancers weightless muscle memory. In collaboration with her cinematographer Mko Malkhasyan, Kovgan navigates this complex arrangement of ideas, moves and objects swiftly, occasionally enriching them with voices of Cunningham himself, as well as various longtime friends and collaborators like artists Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, composer John Cage and some members of his dance troupe. We also get treated to memories of the troupes early days, when they toured across the U. S. in a minibus without sufficient resources. Refusing the avant-garde label until he passed away in 2009 at the age of 90 (he was still working then) Cunningham once said, “Inside the body is ecstasy waiting to be released. When it happens to a dancer, he smiles without knowing it. ” He might as well be talking about the experience of watching Kovgans documentary here; a piece of filmmaking so euphoric in its purpose that you could almost imagine it making Cunningham beam. Sixty years. Thats how long a Louisiana judge sentenced Rob Richardson to serve for armed bank robbery. Garrett Bradley covers more than a third of that term in “Time, ” and the cumulative impact — boiled down into an open-minded and deeply empathetic 81 minutes — will almost certainly rewire how Americans think about the prison-industrial. There was no better way to kick off the romantic month of February than with the premiere of “To All The Boys: P. I Still Love You, ” where cast and crew debated about Lara Jeans complicated love triangle and whether fans would be Team Peter or Team John after watching the film. The sequel finds. “Giving Voice” has won the Festival Favorite Award, selected by audience votes from the 128 features screened at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

Can you come to my city and hide mini babies so i can look for them? lmao. Remember you body is a temple and you will forever feed it garbage. Buena buena 👏🏻. Cunningham movie trailer. Movie cunningham. Cunningham the movie. “he knew he was talking to a queer” LMFAO. This is beautiful. Nick Allen December 13, 2019 2019 has seen many great documentaries, across the various styles in which to tell a true story. But theres been nothing quite like Alla Kovgan s “Cunningham, ” an exhilarating testament to documentaries as a boundless form of art. A celebration of New York choreographer Merce Cunningham, the film dreams beyond restrictions many visual storytellers seemingly adhere to. As its narrative tells brief bits about Cunningham's life, and puts his other-worldly dance routines center stage while accompanied by flourishes from 20th century avant-garde music, “Cunningham” honors the tools of filmmaking—sound, action, dialogue—with the harmonious blending of three art forms: music, dance, poetry. Advertisement The first words heard from Cunningham are essential to understanding his art, but also to enjoying Kovgans film. “I never was interested in dancing that referred to a mood or or a feeling, or in a sense expressed the music. the dancing does not refer, it is what it is. Its that whole visual experience. ” That statement provides a path that most art doesn't: Dont interpret. Just watch. Its an inviting, liberating, intoxicating mindset, and perfect for a movie whose immense pleasure comes from beholding continually inspired creativity, simultaneously from an intentional debut director and an instinctual renowned choreographer.  In lieu of a typical structure, Kovgan presents Cunningham's life as like a string of performances, in which we sometimes get to see footage of him doing one (sometimes with close-ups of his massive feet) as matched with a modern dancer (more specifically, a member of the last Cunningham group. The performances are shown chronologically, and span his work from 1942 to 1972 (Cunningham created until 2009, the year he died at age 90.   While it is most concerned with the philosophy behind his dances, Kovgan's editing does create some narrative, with audio snippets of students talking about studying with Cunningham, and later forming a troupe that went on tour in 1964 for an international tour in Europe and Asia (where their audiences werent always pleased. A decent chunk of the story focus also concerns his relationship with avant-garde composer John Cage, and reflections from students about getting onto Cunningham's wavelength of instinctual movements that come with no explanation. You could accuse Kovgan's film of not having enough connective tissue between some of these story elements, but "Cunningham" never wants to be fulfilling as simply a biography to begin with.  The film touches upon some of Cunningham's most famous collaborations, like with the cathartic cacophony of Cages music, the pop art of Robert Rauschenberg, or Andy Warhol s silver clouds, the metallic balloons shaped like pillows. There are plenty of collaborators that arent even mentioned (Brian Eno, Radiohead, Roy Lichtenstein) same goes with the accomplishments and awards Cunningham received. But an emphasis on history is not missed; his work speaks beautifully on its own. In Kovgans hands, even archive practice footage feels worthy of a museum.  “Cunningham” actively considers the past and present—audio interviews of Cunningham talking about his approach plays over modern-day footage of dancers enacting the philosophies of his words. The routines are the film's true focus, as with one of the first we see: a large empty space with windows for natural light to paint the floor; dancers in pastel-colored leotards are observed by a steady camera that gently goes back and forth with them. The dancers have a precise flow, and the ease of their full-body expressions is just one eye-popping element. Aside from hearing Cunninghams words (about his interest in “extending movement possibilities” by mixing dance and modern ballet) moments of silence are filled in by a near-meditative sound of feet landing and swiping across the floor. Each aesthetic piece at play demands attention, and it makes for an addictive spectacle.  Other routines that follow contain more sounds, more props, more movie. Cunninghams “RainForest” from 1968, and accompanied by the experimental squeaks by David Tudor, has three dancers in nude-colored, torn tights kicking around Warhols silver clouds, all along a reflective floor. In its preservation of his work, Cunningham" offers one impressive staging after the next, like a piece that has dancers in the woods, or a rooftop at night. Meanwhile, Kovgan's camera becomes its own force, sometimes looking down on the dancers, running side to side with them, or putting its focus on their surroundings.  Astonishingly, this is Kovgans first feature project, and yet her way of presenting her surplus of footage, photos, and letters is far beyond many of her peers. Many filmmakers would cut from one clip to the next, but Kovgan dares to often put her footage side by side, slightly overlap them like photos dropped on a table, or move the clip itself across the screen. The information of "Cunningham" is always in motion, in defiance of docs that seem to start and stop with each talking head. A similar kinetic effect occurs when archive footage is shown as a smaller box with a larger, defining photo of Cunningham in the background—like watching a video with your computers desktop visible in the background, but the two boxes orchestrate a grandiose sense of character with a full, striking image (Kovgan's approach is more like the 21st century storytelling in an " Unfriended " movie than a typical doc. Kovgan proves exceptional at making an audience understand a subject through unconventional filmmaking, just like Cunningham was clearly gifted at filling a stage with ideas, without having to say what it all means.

Movies, ‘Cunningham Review: Exploring Space, Time and Dance in 3-D Critics Pick Alla Kovgans documentary about Merce Cunningham shows aspects of his choreography that can be difficult to convey on conventional film. Credit. Mko Malkhasyan/Magnolia Pictures Published Dec. 11, 2019 Updated Dec. 13, 2019 Cunningham NYT Critic's Pick Directed by Alla Kovgan Documentary, Biography, Music PG 1h 33m More Information The screen is flat, but the space is round, both infinite and enveloping. The human figures in it, camouflaged, should blend in with the background. But they stick out in every direction, moving every which way. This thrilling fragment of the choreographer Merce Cunninghams 1958 dance “Summerspace” is sufficient justification to make a documentary about Cunningham in 3-D. The technology conveys aspects of his radical aesthetic that are otherwise difficult to suggest on film. And thats only one reason that Alla Kovgans “Cunningham” is an excellent introduction to a great body of work that can be hard to get a handle on. One of Cunninghams many innovations was to dissolve the spatial organization and frontal focus of the proscenium stage, making all parts equal, with dancers facing and moving in any orientation and often several things happening at once. Kovgans film doesnt reproduce this so much as find a vivid equivalent. The camera, choosing what you see, diminishes the feeling of simultaneity. But by moving into and through the dances in 3-D, it offers an immersive sense of what Cunningham called “a space in which anything can happen. ” It helps you see how the air around a dancer can seem as alive as the flesh. If 3-D helps put Cunningham across, it isnt required. Some of the most seductive footage here isnt the new performances of old works (1942-1972) that Kovgan filmed in 3-D, like “Summerspace, ” but lower-resolution, 2-D archival footage, much of it rare and irreplaceable. What makes it irreplaceable are the original performers, especially Cunningham himself, surely one of the greatest dancers of all time. His longtime muse Carolyn Brown speaks of his “quiet center” and “animal authority”; we see all that and more. Its another strength of the film that the voices we hear are hers and his and those of other company members, recorded long ago. No current-day experts are needed to establish the core ideas of the Cunningham aesthetic, from the use of chance in composition to the independence of dance and music. The choice not to use new or outside voices keeps us in the period, and it helps preserve a Cunningham-like tact around personal facts. Although much of the film proceeds in chronological order, theres almost no biographical back story; the long-shrouded relationship between Cunningham and the composer John Cage is delicately (and moving) presented in a single exchange of inexplicit letters. Likewise, tensions between Cunningham and his dancers arent hidden, but theyre not over-explained, either. Emotion roils beneath a deceptively placid surface. A story accrues. The same tact extends to questions of meaning. Cunninghams practical-gnomic explanations illuminate without shutting down options. Kovgan doesnt follow Cunninghams courage all the way, though. As if to compensate for the lack of 3-D in the archival material, she collages it, splitting the screen into many panels. Its artful but effortful, drawing too much attention to itself. Thats also true of much of the new footage. The elegant camera movements and dramatic settings chosen by Kovgan — dance in a formal garden that the camera glides away from, over a pond, like a dragonfly — are beautiful but often distract from what they are intended to display. The 90-minute film excerpts 14 works, which means that the snippets are quite short. This excerpting has a precedent in Cunningham practice. He liked to mix up pieces of many works in one-off performances called Events. Formally and philosophically, his focus was on each moment, with little linear development. The well-chosen selections in “Cunningham” reproduce the variety of a Cunningham Event, and give the Cunningham experience of luminous instants. But what the film doesnt give is an accurate sense of Cunningham time. In a Cunningham dance, the mind can wander, experience different rates of change, be baffled, engrossed, astonished, bored. The price of Kovgans efficiency is impatience, always cutting away and moving on. “Cunningham” registers the resistance that its subject encountered: the puzzlement, the thrown fruit. But as a film, it doesnt take comparable risks, so it precludes the possibility of certain rewards, ones you have to see the full dances to get. Thats what makes it a good introduction. Cunningham Rated PG. Running time: 1 hour 33 minutes.

Bill cunningham movie netflix. Movie trailer cunningham. Merce Cunningham Merce Cunningham in 1961 Born Mercier Philip Cunningham April 16, 1919 Centralia, Washington Died July 26, 2009 (aged 90) New York, New York Occupation Dancer, choreographer Years active 1938–2009 Partner(s) John Cage [1] Website Mercier Philip " Merce " Cunningham (April 16, 1919 – July 26, 2009) was an American dancer and choreographer who was at the forefront of American modern dance for more than 50 years. He is also notable for his frequent collaborations with artists of other disciplines, including musicians John Cage, David Tudor, Brian Eno, Radiohead, artists Robert Rauschenberg, Bruce Nauman, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Jasper Johns, and costume designer Rei Kawakubo. Works that he produced with these artists had a profound impact on avant-garde art beyond the world of dance. As a choreographer, teacher and leader of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, 2] Cunningham had a profound influence on modern dance. Many dancers who trained with Cunningham formed their own companies. They include Paul Taylor, Remy Charlip, Viola Farber, Charles Moulton, Karole Armitage, Robert Kovich, Foofwa d'Imobilité, Kimberly Bartosik, Flo Ankah, Jan Van Dyke, Jonah Bokaer, and Alice Reyes. In 2009, the Cunningham Dance Foundation announced the Legacy Plan, a precedent-setting plan for the continuation of Cunningham's work and the celebration and preservation of his artistic legacy. [3] Cunningham earned some of the highest honors bestowed in the arts, including the National Medal of Arts and the MacArthur Fellowship. He also received Japan's Praemium Imperiale and a British Laurence Olivier Award, and was named Officier of the Légion d'honneur in France. Cunningham's life and artistic vision have been the subject of numerous books, films, and exhibitions, and his works have been presented by groups including the Paris Opéra Ballet, New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, White Oak Dance Project, and London's Rambert Dance Company. Biography [ edit] Merce Cunningham was born in Centralia, Washington in 1919, the second of three sons. Both his brothers followed their father, Clifford D. Cunningham, 4] into the legal profession. Cunningham first experienced dance while living in Centralia. He took tap class from a local teacher, Mrs. Maude Barrett, whose energy and spirit taught him to love dance. Her emphasis on precise musical timing and rhythm provided him a clear understanding of musicality that he implemented in his later dance pieces. [5] He attended the Cornish School in Seattle, headed by Nellie Cornish, from 1937 to 1939 to study acting, but found drama's reliance on text and miming too limiting and concrete. Cunningham preferred the ambiguous nature of dance, which gave him an outlet for exploration of movement. [6] During this time, Martha Graham saw Cunningham dance and invited him to join her company. [7] In 1939, Cunningham moved to New York and danced as a soloist in the Martha Graham Dance Company for six years. He presented his first solo concert in New York in April 1944 with composer John Cage, who became his lifelong romantic partner and frequent collaborator until Cage's death in 1992. [8] In the summer of 1953, as a teacher in residence at Black Mountain College, Cunningham formed the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Over the course of his career, Cunningham choreographed more than 200 dances and over 800 "Events. or site-specific choreographic works. In 1963 he joined with Cage to create the Walker Art Center 's first performance, instigating what would be a 25-year collaborative relationship with the Walker. In his performances, he often used the I Ching in order to determine the sequence of his dances and, often, dancers were not informed of the order until the night of the performance. In addition to his role as choreographer, Cunningham performed as a dancer in his company into the early 1990s. In 1968 Cunningham and Francis Starr published a book, Changes: Notes on Choreography, containing various sketches of their choreography. He continued to lead his company until his death, and presented a new work, Nearly Ninety, in April 2009, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York, to mark his 90th birthday. [9] Cunningham lived in New York City, and was Artistic Director of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. He died in his home at the age of 90. [10] Merce Cunningham Dance Company [ edit] Cunningham formed Merce Cunningham Dance Company (MCDC) at Black Mountain College in 1953. Guided by its leader's radical approach to space, time and technology, the Company has forged a distinctive style, reflecting Cunningham's technique and illuminating the near limitless possibility for human movement. The original company included dancers Carolyn Brown, Viola Farber, Paul Taylor, and Remy Charlip, and musicians John Cage and David Tudor. In 1964 the Cunningham Dance Foundation was established to support his work. [11] MCDC made its first international tour in 1964, visiting Europe and Asia. [11] From 1971 until its dissolution in 2012, the company was based in the Westbeth Artists Community in West Village; for a time Cunningham himself lived a block away at 107 Bank Street, with John Cage. On July 20, 1999 Merce Cunningham and Mikhail Baryshnikov performed together at the New York State Theater for Cunningham's 80th birthday. [12] In its later years, the company had a two-year residency at Dia:Beacon, where MCDC performed Events, Cunningham's site-specific choreographic collages, in the galleries of Richard Serra, Dan Flavin, and Sol LeWitt among others. In 2007, MCDC premiered XOVER, Cunningham's final collaboration with Rauschenberg, at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. In 2009, MCDC premiered Cunningham's newest work, Nearly Ninety, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The Company concluded its farewell tour on December 31, 2011 [13] with a performance at the Park Avenue Armory. [14] Artistic philosophy [ edit] Collaboration [ edit] Still frame from Loops, a digital art collaboration with Cunningham and The OpenEnded Group that interprets Cunningham's motion-captured dance for the hands. Merce Cunningham Dance Company frequently collaborated with visual artists, architects, designers, and musicians. Many of Cunningham's most famous innovations were developed in collaboration with composer John Cage, his life partner. Cunningham and Cage used stochastic (random) procedures to generate material, discarding many artistic traditions of narrative and form. Famously, they asserted that a dance and its music should not be intentionally coordinated with one another. [15] After his death, John Cage was succeeded in the role of music director by David Tudor. After 1995, MCDC's music director was Takehisa Kosugi. MCDC commissioned more work from contemporary composers than any other dance company. Its repertory included works by musicians ranging from John Cage and Gordon Mumma to Gavin Bryars as well as popular bands like Radiohead, Sigur Rós and Sonic Youth. [16] The Company also collaborated with an array of visual artists and designers. Robert Rauschenberg, whose famous "Combines" reflect the approach he used to create décor for a number of MCDC's early works, served as the Company's resident designer from 1954 through 1964. Jasper Johns followed as Artistic Advisor from 1967 until 1980, and Mark Lancaster from 1980 through 1984. The last Advisors to be appointed were William Anastasi and Dove Bradshaw in 1984. Other artists who have collaborated with MCDC include Daniel Arsham, Tacita Dean, Liz Phillips, Rei Kawakubo, Roy Lichtenstein, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Frank Stella, Benedetta Tagliabue, and Andy Warhol. Chance operations [ edit] John Cage and I became interested in the use of chance in the 50s. I think one of the very primary things that happened then was the publication of the " I Ching. the Chinese book of changes, from which you can cast your fortune: the hexagrams. Cage took it to work in his way of making compositions then; and he used the idea of 64—the number of the hexagrams —to say that you had 64, for example, sounds; then you could cast, by chance, to find which sound first appeared, cast again, to say which sound came second, cast again, so that it's done by, in that sense, chance operations. Instead of finding out what you think should follow—say a particular sound—what did the I Ching suggest? Well, I took this also for dance. I was working on a title called, Untitled Solo. and I had made—using the chance operations—a series of movements written on scraps of paper for the legs and the arms, the head, all different. And it was done not to the music but with the music of Christian Wolff. —  Merce Cunningham, Merce Cunningham: A Lifetime of Dance, 2000 Cunningham valued the process of a work over the product. Because of his strong interest in the creation of the choreography he used chance procedures in his work. A chance procedure means that the order of the steps or sequence is unknown until the actual performance and is decided by chance. For instance in his work Suite by Chance he used the toss of a coin to determine how to put the choreographed sequences together. Indeterminacy was another part of Cunningham's work. Many of his pieces had sections or sequences that were rehearsed so that they could be put in any order and done at any time. [17] Although the use of chance operations was considered an abrogation of artistic responsibility, 18] Cunningham was thrilled by a process that arrives at works that could never have been created through traditional collaboration. This does not mean, however, that Cunningham considered every piece created in this fashion a masterpiece. Those dances that did not "work" were quickly dropped from repertory, while those that do were celebrated as serendipitous discoveries. Cunningham used "non-representational" choreography which simply emphasizes movement, and does not necessarily represent any historical narrative, emotional situation, or idea. Such non-representational dance appears in many styles throughout history, but was not commonly used by ballet or Martha Graham, Cunningham's primary influences. In the use of chance procedures Cunningham abandoned the more traditional structured form of dance, he did not believe that a dance needs a beginning, middle or end. [17] 19] Examples in works [ edit] In Sixteen Dances for Soloist and Company of Three (1951) Cunningham used Indeterminacy for the first time in this piece; the changing element for each show was the sequence of the sections. In Field Dances (1963) Cunningham experimented with giving the dancer more freedom. Each dancer was given a sequence of movements with which they could do as they pleased. This included exiting and entering at will, executing it in any order and as many times as desired. In Story (1963) Cunningham experimented with the variables of costumes and sets. Before each performance dancers chose an outfit from a pile of second hand clothes picked out by the designer, Robert Rauschenberg. Rauschenberg was also responsible for creating a new set for every show with items he found in the theatre. Suite by Chance (1953) was his first work made entirely through chance procedures. Charts were created listing elements such as space, time, and positions. A coin was then tossed to determine each of these elements. Canfield (1969) was created by using playing cards. Each movement was assigned a playing card and chosen randomly. [20] Use of technology [ edit] Cunningham's lifelong passion for exploration and innovation made him a leader in applying new technologies to the arts. He began investigating dance on film in the 1970s, and after 1991 choreographed using the computer program DanceForms. Cunningham explored motion capture technology with digital artists Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar to create Hand-drawn Spaces, a three-screen animation that was commissioned by and premiered at SIGGRAPH in 1998. This led to a live dance for the stage, BIPED, for which Kaiser and Eshkar provided the projected decor. In 2008, Cunningham released his Loops choreography for the hands as motion-capture data under a Creative Commons license; this was the basis for the open source collaboration of the same name with The OpenEnded Group. Cunningham was one of the first choreographers to begin experimenting with film. He created an original work for the video Westbeth (1974) in collaboration with filmmaker Charles Atlas [17] In 2009, Cunningham's interest in new media led to the creation of the behind-the-scenes webcast Mondays with Merce. [21] Perspective [ edit] The use of stage space also changed in Cunningham's choreography. The "front and centre" spot traditionally coveted by soloists no longer exists in his works. Dance can take place on any part of the stage; it need not even be frontally oriented, but can be viewed from any angle (at performances in Cunningham's own studio, for instance, audiences are seated in an L-shaped configuration. The viewer's focus is never directed to a particular spot; he must often decide among many centres of activity. [22] Merce Cunningham saw randomness and arbitrariness as positive qualities because they exist in real life. [17] Most of Cunningham's choreographic process works to break the boundaries of "putting on a show. the removal of center stage is an example of this—without a focal point for the audience, no one dancer or step holds the most value and can be seen as arbitrary. or not. Legacy Plan [ edit] The Cunningham Dance Foundation announced the Legacy Plan (LLP) in June 2009. The Plan provided a roadmap for the future of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, as envisioned by Cunningham. The first of its kind in the dance world, the plan represented Cunningham's vision for continuing his work in the upcoming years, transitioning his Company once he was no longer able to lead it, and preserving his oeuvre. The Legacy Plan included a comprehensive digital documentation and preservation program, which ensures that pieces from his repertory can be studied, performed and enjoyed by future generations with knowledge of how they originally came to life. By other provisions of the plan, the Merce Cunningham Trust, established by Cunningham to serve as the custodian for his works, controls his dances for licensing purposes; Cunningham associates prepared detailed records of the dances so they could be licensed and given authentic productions by other companies. [23] In addition, the plan outlined a final international tour for the Company, and, ultimately, the closure of the Cunningham Dance Foundation and Merce Cunningham Dance Company and the transfer of all assets to the Merce Cunningham Trust. From Merce's death at age 90 through the Board's last meeting in 2012, the Legacy Plan implemented his wish that the Company complete a worldwide legacy tour and then close. The final performance of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company was on December 31, 2011, at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. The final meeting of the Board of Directors for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company was held March 15, 2012, in Cunningham's studio at the top of the Westbeth building in the West Village. [24] Exhibitions [ edit] There have been numerous exhibitions dedicated to Cunningham's work. In addition, his visual art is represented by Margarete Roeder Gallery. The major exhibition Invention: Merce Cunningham & Collaborators at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts closed on October 13, 2007. Merce Cunningham: Dancing on the Cutting Edge, an exhibition of recent design for MCDC, opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, in January 2007. A trio of exhibitions devoted to John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, and Merce Cunningham, curated by Ron Bishop, were shown in the spring of 2002 at the Gallery of Fine Art, Edison College, Fort Myers, Florida. A major exhibition about Cunningham and his collaborations, curated by Germano Celant, was first seen at the Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona in 1999, and subsequently at the Fundação de Serralves, Porto, Portugal, 1999; the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna, 2000; and the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, Castello di Rivoli, Turin, 2000.

Kelly cunningham movie. A remarkable achievement by filmmaker Alla Kovgan, spending seven years to make this classic tribute to the late dancer/choreographer Merce Cunningham.
Working with both archive footage and valuable sound recordings, she conjures up the avant-garde artist through recordings of his work, his philosophy of his art and comments by many close collaborators including notably John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg. Not meant as a biopic, film concentrates on spectacularlhy cinematic (in 3-D) new performances of many of his dances, executed by members of his company, which disbanded in 2011, after Merce's death in 2009.
At a q&a following the screening, Kovgan indicated that Wim Wenders' innovative 2011 3-D dance film about German choreographer Pina Bausch inspired her to take on this formidable project, finally starting shooting in Stuttgart in 2015 with principal photography taking place in 2018.
Her use of 3-D technique is outstanding, resulting in gripping visual images, enhanced by the accompaniment of the original dance scores by John Cage and others. For a novice like me, not overly familiar with Merce's achievements, the movie brings his dance to life and points to how 3-D technology can be used artfully rather than as a gimmick, or its current excuse to permit higher price points for movie admissions to films, both animated and action-oriented, that should play just as well if not better in 2-D on large screens.
