How it's used

Language names in Cantonese are typically formed by adding 語 to the country name. While Estonian is rarely encountered in daily life in Hong Kong, this structure is consistent across all foreign languages. It is treated as a formal noun rather than a colloquial term, so it remains the same in both spoken and written contexts.

Examples

？
Do you know how to speak Estonian?
，㗎。
He is learning Estonian, it is very difficult.
