Welcome to Pääsuke!

With this this Estonian translation we give our warm welcome to our website to Pääsuke. Pääsuke is an Estonian native speaker, and this gives us the possibility to access one of the smallest, yet most interesting European languages and to its rich heritage of songs and poems. In addition to this, Pääsuke knows perfectly Finnish (a language of the same family as Estonian), English and Welsh.

By the way -if this is not his real family name- Pääsuke may have taken his name from Johannes Pääsuke (1892-1918), a well known Estonian ethnographer, photographer and, perhaps, the first Estonian filmmaker. But pääsuke is also a common name in Estonian meaning “swallow”. Our welcome to Pääsuke is like a swallow at the end of spring.

Thanks to Pääsuke for sharing our path towards knowledge and memory.
