I live bits that give rare insights into other cultures.
The description of the appropriate reddit page google-translates to "let's meet at the fire".
Is that correct?
- Avamander 4y agoMore like "let's meet at the sacred forest" (to celebrate/rejoice). "Hiiele" is the allative form of "hiis" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiis_(sacred_site) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiis_(sacred_site) )
- Tade0 4y agoThat's even better, thanks!
- skeletal88 4y agoWhen finland is mentioned on the internet then people post "torilla tavataan" - "lets meet at the market!!". So we estonians started saying "hiiele!" - lets meet.. at the sacred forest on the same occasion.
