What locals actually say

Want a coffee?

Võtad kohvi?

Pakkumisel kasutatakse sageli verbi „võtma“, mitte „tahtma“: „Võtad kohvi?“ kõlab lühidalt ja loomulikult.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Ära põe, ma ajan selle korda.

„Ära põe“ on tavaline kõnekeelne rahustus ning „ajan korda“ näitab, et kõneleja võtab asja enda peale.

Can you send me the address?

Saad aadressi saata?

Jah-ei-küsimuses jäetakse „kas“ kõnes sageli ära; teise isiku ainsus „saad“ hoiab tooni vahetu.

How much do I owe you?

Palju ma sulle võlgnen?

The allative form "sulle" means "to you" and marks the person receiving the money in natural Estonian.

Is it going to rain today?

Kas täna tuleb vihma?

The impersonal construction "tuleb vihma" literally means "rain comes" and is a common Estonian way to talk about rain.

How is your sister doing?

Kuidas su õel läheb?

The adessive form "õel" means "for your sister" and is used in the Estonian expression "kuidas läheb" for asking how someone is doing.

I'll finish this by Friday.

Ma teen selle reedeks valmis.

The translative form "reedeks" marks a deadline, while "valmis" makes the completed result explicit.

Are you coming over this weekend?

Kas sa tuled sel nädalavahetusel läbi?

The phrasal construction "läbi tulema" means to come by or drop in and sounds informal and conversational.
