Translating English to Estonian: what to know
No Articles in Estonian
Estonian lacks articles like 'a', 'an', and 'the'. Context determines definiteness instead. English 'the book' and 'a book' both translate as 'raamat'. Translators must rely on word order, demonstratives like 'see' (this), or context to convey specificity. Overcompensating with demonstratives sounds unnatural, so trust that Estonian readers infer definiteness from sentence structure and situational context.
Fourteen Grammatical Cases
Estonian uses fourteen noun cases to express relationships English shows with prepositions. 'In the house' becomes 'majas' (inessive case), 'into the house' is 'majasse' (illative). Each case has specific endings that change based on the noun. Prepositions like 'with', 'from', 'to', and 'in' often disappear entirely, replaced by case suffixes. Choosing the wrong case changes meaning significantly, so understanding case functions is essential.
Verb Tenses Differ Significantly
Estonian has fewer tense distinctions than English. The simple past covers English simple past, present perfect, and past perfect contexts. 'I ate', 'I have eaten', and 'I had eaten' can all translate as 'ma sõin', with context clarifying timing. Estonian lacks continuous forms entirely—'I am eating' and 'I eat' both become 'ma söön'. Time expressions and context replace English's tense-based precision.

What does the “Meaning kept” score mean?
After each translation, a second AI check compares the original and the translation and scores how closely the meaning survived (100 = same meaning). Below 90 you'll see a warning — double-check names, numbers and negations. The check processes your text and immediately discards it; only the score is kept.
