Apperently "tsar" is only used for the Russian tsar.

In Estonian historical use, we called the tsar "keiser" though; as can be seen in an old folk song:

Let's praise our Emperor (tsar)

Even though this map overstates minority languages, it paints Tallinn and the surrounding area orange. I don't know if they mean Swedish or German, since the city was German-Speaking (a low german dialect) until the late 19th century. It never spoke Swedish.

Painting Hiiumaa/Dagö as orange is somewhat correct though, even though they haven't lived there for a long time now.

Yep, both Estonian and Finnish also have a lot of loanwords from Indo-Iranian.

E.g Finnish "vasara" and Estonian "vasar" are from Indo-Iranian, a cognate is Persian گرز (gurz), meaning "club, mace" and also Sanskrit वज्र (vajra), meaning "thunderbolt", "weapon of indra" + a whole lot of other meanings.

I've noticed that Russian and Swedish (not sure about other Scandinavian languages) have a lot, like really a lot of common root words. Sometimes it's not even connected to a third language where the languages could possibly borrow from (usually German).
Here's the examples(swe-rus):
Kirurg-Hirurg - (Surgeon)
Krok-Kryk - (Hook)
Del-Delit (a part\to divide)
Öga-Oko (an eye)
Dygn-Den' (a 24h-day)
Läkare-Lekar (a doctor)
Advokat-advokat (a lawyer)
Mjuka-mjagki (soft)

Proto-Finno-Ugric folks had Indo-Iranian influenced religion because they were living between them and the Balts circa 2000 BC . Whether the influence by neighbouring peoples was strictly one way or not is an open question though but Indra is not thought to be an original Indo-European word.

Actually a coincidence;even though they look alike.
Similar to how Latin "dies" and English "day" aren't actually related.
English "day" and Swedish "dag" (I actually don't know about "dygn") are from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ (to burn).
Russian дeнь is related to Latin "dies", Lithuanian "diena", ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dyew- (sky, heaven, to be bright)

>>
>>62030602
Can't say anything about Finnish but Swedish is a small loan source.

I can think of a few words of Swedish origin (tasku, plika, kroonu), but that's it.

There are way more loanwords from other Germanic languages, mainly Low German and Proto-Germanic.
Here's a few off the top of my head:

kuningas "king" - from Proto-Germanic *kuningaz, this is a very archaic loan, something similar can be found in Lithuanian (kunigas, kuningas), but all living Germanic languages have gotten rid of the -az at the end.

riik "state" - this actually might be from Swedish but I find a Low German origin more probable myself.

kelder "cellar" - this is from Low German.

köök - "kitchen" - from Low German

pott "pot" - from Low German.

padi "pillow" - from Proto-Germanic. Cogante to English "bed" and German "Bett"

There are also a lot of Baltic loans:

kanep (weed, hemp) - from Latvian
hammas (tooth) - from Latvian I think (I forgot)
mets (forest) - From Baltic
ratas (wheel) - Baltic

A lot of older loans are from Proto Indo-European or Indo-iranian

sool "salt" - Indo-European
sool "intestine", "gut" - Indo-European, cognate to English "colon"
mesi "honey" - Indo-European. Cognate to English "mead"
rebane "fox" - Indo-iranian
vedama "to lead", "to carry" - Indo-European. Cognate to Lithuanian "vesti"

There are few Slavic loans, I can think of:

raamat "book" - from Old East Slavic
aken "window" - from Old East Slavic
kapsas "cabbage" - from Russian

>>62030633
The most probable theory is that Aryans fell as war slaves, which isn't too far-fetched.
>>
>>62027636

>>62030993
>Finnics and Indo-Aryans used to be neighbors in Central and Southern Russia before Indo-Europeans even got in Europe

>this bullshit again


Indo-Europeans fucking originated in Europe, modern day Ukraine. Look up Yamnaya culture and no Finnics weren't here first, your shitty fringe theories from 1900's aren't valid now.
>>
>>62031009
Because of Germanic loans, we have quite a number of cognates with English, which I find very interesting.

rikas "rich" - cognate to English "rich"
kipper "skipper" - cognate to English "skipper"
torm "storm" - cognate to English "storm"
paat "boat" - cognate to English "boat"
tuba "room" - cognate to English "stove", although a more similar meaning can be found in German "Stube"
kuld "gold" - cognate to English "gold"
>>
>>62031192
And Finno-Ugrics originate from Volga river, which is in Europe, and were there earlier than the first Indo-Euros existed.
>>
>>62031009
riik is reich in german and riek in low german.
A lot of low german loan words came to baltics(and also to scandinavia) through the Hanse.
I think it is the biggest source of loan words for scandinavian languages and baltics got a lot too.

Those are not "english" those are from lower German.

Examples with High-German:
reich = rich, das Reich = The Empire
Skipper is the same we don't have sea in the south so we use northern (lower) German words
Sturm = strom
boat = Boot
tube = Stube
kuld = Gold

English is not the Origin of those words.

For Indo-Europeans we have definite genetic, archaeological proof. Dating from at least 3,500BC that's 5,500 years ago.

While Finno-Ugric language group is dated 4000 years old.

>(The Finno-Ugric group is usually dated to approximately 4000 years of age, the Samoyedic a little over 2000.)

It should be cesar. Nobody has ever said imperator.

>>62027911
It's rakun, not rakuna. That would be the dual form or the second declension form of the noun.
>>
>>62031443
Are you retarded?
>>
>>62031358
Through the Hansa, yes.
But Estonia and Latvia were ruled by Germans (speaking a Low-German dialect) for almost 800 years, which certainly left a mark on the language.

Proto-Germanic loans are much older and can be found in Finnish aswell.

Finnish has some Germanic loans that are missing in Estonian aswell; e.g "ruhtinas" - "sovereign prince" (we use the Low German "vürst"). The English cognate to "ruhtinas" is "dright", although it is an archaic word.

Related to princes, almost every word related to nobility in Estonian is of (Low) German origin: keiser, herstog, vürst, krahv, rüütel (knight) etc

Ah okay. We unironically still refer to ourselves as such (riket) in some circumstances, even though our sad excuse of an empire is long gone.

>>
>>62031733
Do you know if Low German "riek" also has that meaning? Or do they use it more similar to Estonian? (e.g "republic" is "vabariik" - lit. "free state", so Germany is "Saksamaa Liitvabariik" - "German united free state" or something like that)

Rike means kingdom. We have a monarch. Not that hard to understand.

I didn't say that but technically he's both right and wrong. Western Russia is a part of Europe but otherwise he's more or less on point although I'd say that the earliest IE neighbours of Uralics spoke something extinct that we don't know much about it.

That's one of the things it means, yes. It also mean empire, nation and realm. It originates from the same word that became the German "Reich" and can, as above mentioned, be used as such.

>Turku comes from Mongolian word for silk, Torga

It's stupid to conflate linguistic groups and genetics anyway, that's a 19th century thing. Key example Hungary, they genetically cluster exactly with their neighbours, and not some Mongolian Khanty/Mansi as linguistics might make one think
>>
>>62032049
Then what the hell did you mean by
>We unironically still refer to ourselves as such (riket) in some circumstances, even though our sad excuse of an empire is long gone.
It has nothing to do with empires.
>>
>>62032035
>same etymology
So what? We still don't call it tit animal.
>>
>>62031855
Reich used to have a broader meaning than it has today, and even more than english speakers get, because of the bad translation.
Reich is not meant in the sense of empire but more like land of someone. So France for example is Frankreich, the Reich of the Franken.
Or Austria is Österreich the eastern Reich and so on.
So it kinda fits somewhere between your use and the translation today.(I hope you understand what i mean)
>>
>>62032043
"küüs", is "nail", yes.

But we use "lauk" only for the name of the genus "Allium" (that includes onions, leeks, chives etc)
>>
>>62032098
Interesting.
Our meaning has definitely broadened though.
>>
>>62032098
How about "realm"?
>>
>>62032108
Kynsilaukku is an old fringeword here, everyone says valkosipuli (white onion)
>>
>>62032094
Neither do we. "Patte" is a verb referring to animal kids sucking milk from their mother, not the actual tit itself.
>>
>>62031964
Still claiming we wuz here first is fucking idiotic and retarded, Indo-Europeans pretty much originated in parallel, except Uralic were to north and Indo-Europeans to the south. We also have definite evidence of their existence as attested trough genetics, archeology, language and yada yada. (Majority non south Europeans today autosomal derive from Indo-Europeans)


While datings for Uralic are ranging from 9000BP ( old theories disregarded today) to 2000BC today according to your own Finnish scholars(Häkkinen) today.


>At the same time new linguistic results appeared contradicting the continuity theories: both the datings of Proto-Saami [19][20] and Proto-Finnic[21] as well as Proto-Uralic (Kallio 2006; Häkkinen 2009)[22][3] were argued to be clearly younger than were thought in the framework of the continuity theories.


>After the rejection of the continuity theories, the recent linguistic arguments have placed the Proto-Uralic homeland around the Kama River, or more generally close to the Great Volga Bend and the Ural Mountains. The expansion of Proto-Uralic has been dated to about 2000 BC (4000 years ago), whereas its earlier stages go back at least one or two millennia further. Either way, this is considerably later than the earlier views of the continuity theories, which would place Proto-Uralic deep into Europe.[22][3]
>>
>>62032098
The word same word from which reich originates from can also mean ruler.

Some names, like Eric and Ulric have that word in them.
>>
>>62032155
That is also in there. It is realm, but also kingdom, empire and so on.
While we have also words for those things Reich is more of a term of a category they all fall under.
But today the word Reich has a rather bad connotation so it is only used historically.
>>
>>62032246
Yep.
Latin "rex" (king) is related.
>>
>>62032252
I think "reign" is the best translation for our Reich.
>>
>>62032246
But this word got lost (if it even existed) in german. Ruler is Herrscher and I can't think of aword for ruler that comes from Reich or something like that (or I am just stupid right now).
>>
>>62032079
Because the word can refer to multiple things, empire among other. Which is what it was referred to initially, as our basic laws were codified in 1734. While we still had an empire, that is. Which is also why Finnish law also use that same word, even though Finland isn't even a monarchy. The meaning has simply shifted with time to better suit current conditions.
>>
>>62030911
It would be
W górze góry goreją gorzej.
In polish. So all of these have common roots.

I've read Häkkinens posts on a Finnish forum and he claimed 2000BC for Finno-Ugric with an additional millenium before that for Uralic(Finno-Ugric+Samoyedic).
The early offshoots of (pre)Uralic are extinct so the age itself doesn't exactly matter. Comb Ceramic culture could have been a Para-Uralic zone and we couldn't tell because Comb Ceramic languages are extinct(except for Uralic itself).
>>
>>62032331
Reich is from Proto-Germanic *rīkiją (rulership, government, authority, kingdom, realm), which is derived from *rīks (king, ruler), and it has no attested forms in living languages, but as anon previously said, it survives in names ending with -ric, -rich, -riks, -reiks

>As the new dating for Late Proto-Uralic suggests a time around 2000 BC (Kallio
2006; Häkkinen 2009), even Early Proto-Uralic seems to be later than Late
Proto-Indo-European. Consequently we have no reason to assume the beginning
of contacts between Uralic and Indo-European before 3000 BC, and even the
oldest Indo-European loanwords would be later than Late Proto-Indo-European.

Yılkı/Jılkı means wild horse. Turkic people used to tame wild horses for a season and free them again when they don't need the horses anymore. Those horses called Yılkı. It's a Turkic word from Orkhun scripts. It literally means "untamed"

https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yılkı

>>62027861
the word "It" also means dog in Turkish. Actually the word Köpek started to use in Anatolian Turkish about 1300. "Köp"ürmek literally means Foaming which is used for to get bigger. Köpek means big thing. Anatolian Turkics used "Köpek İt" words together to tell about the size of a dog. Somehow people widely say Köpek instead of İt today.
