Pretty much every country has more women than men.

Tallinn old town is indeed a lovely place in which to while away an afternoon (with frequent coffee stops, of course).

More money to be made in western Europe. Work in Germany -send home big paychecks, -family prospers. That and it rains 3x a week in summer.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Most Western countries have more women than men. But I feel it shouldn't go unmentioned that the additional women are in their 80s and 90s.

So how much to fly to Estonia from Texas
DjRamPaige
This
Iputthebestinbestiality
Oh, it's actually cheaper from Austin than Houston it seems. Anyways. You can get it for around $1000
Iputthebestinbestiality
Oh, one USD = roughly 8.5NOK, so just above $1000. Different times of year costs more and less ofc. You'll usually do a middle landing in
Iputthebestinbestiality
one of the bigger European airports, but there are plenty of direct flights to some of the smaller ones as well, and that might cost you
Iputthebestinbestiality
a lot less. Simply because it's so crowded on Heathrow, Schiphol (or whatever)
Iputthebestinbestiality

Realistically, they're pretty similar in terms of the root and complexity. Finnish has more native speakers though.

Hungarian checking in, is that a challenge?
WuntchtimeIsOver
Definitely Hungarian. Just out there doing it’s own thing
VaillaVaginaistaAsuntoa
Hungarian and Finnish are sibling languages,and Estonian and Finnish are very close. This could be a very tight fight.
BenSnow97
Well, luckily we had some preparation, made Hungarian even more complex between 1790-1820 in order to get it up to speed as a "real" >

FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
English is the easiest European language to learn. The spelling is wonky, but the grammar is a LOT simpler than that of other Germanic ...
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
or Romance languages. There is no grammatical gender, no dative and genitive cases, and the accusative (whom) is almost extinct too.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
As for the many French loan words and their complicated spelling, you'll find the same in German with words like Portemonnaie, Chauffeur etc

CallMeOldFashionedBut
Except the UK is no longer in the EU. We’ll sort of, but not really.

English remains the lingua franca tho. All public schools in the EU teach E. as a compulsory subject & many sales jobs require Business E.

English isn’t a language, it’s 3 languages stacked on top of each other wearing a trenchcoat.

At least English doesn't attach genders to nouns, the bane of SO many languages
GreedyJungle
That’s true. I always hated that about other languages. It makes no sense to me. Natural body parts define gender why apply it to a word.
AnticlockwiseMetamorphosis
Gendered nouns in languages don't necessarily align to what you'd call human gender. Often they do line up in familiar patterns, but take

for instance girl in German (Mädchen), which just so happens to be a male noun, with the article ein (a)! Some languages also have more than

The program itself was a piece of spyware/malware. It would leave that part behind when you uninstalled it.
BuickRiviera
It would force install a toolbar in Internet Explorer and reset your homepage to theirs. This was all before you got to the p2p downloads.
illogicalphallusies
pssst, all those programs had little checkboxes that you could unselect during the install to NOT install the toolbar/change homepage

Post Napster. Pre Limewire.

Napster but when you try to downloading smashmouth all star you got who let the dog out and a virus that killed your parents computer

Damn, I'm glad I stuck to limewire

Kazaa had a function thst tried to find the same song under a different file. It was janky so people (and the record label) put virus up

I used both. The best part - my Algebra teacher in high school was the one who told me about Kazaa.

It was a file sharing program similar to limewire.

It would be odd to find a younger person (50 or below) that doesn’t speak English. More older rural people might not.

English is pretty common there. I work for a company founded in Estonia, and I've never had issues communicating with them.
