  1. Wow that's way too many loanwords. Is there any old written Uralic? Time to start cutting it out and replacing it back with Estonian words. The irony though is that Germanic languages are stacked with Latin and French loanwords these days. Would also love to get rid of those. I'm not good at speaking English without loanwords, but my native language Dutch, I'm quite good at it.

  2. I actually love cases even though my native language has lost its cases. When I read stuff like Old Norse you can tell that you can be a lot more concise, creative and free when speaking the language. And that REALLY helps when writing poetry.
