hiiele?
On a serious note, while the eID/digital gov system is great and all it does have some jankiness. The address search system everyone uses has been a PITA for a while and the tax system still keels over for a day or so when the possibility of submitting returns opens. Then we had the case of one dude scraping several hundred thousand ID card pictures [0].
Also the broadband part is so-so. Estonian internet is notoriously expensive and slow compared to our near peers [1].

- Tade0 4y ago> hiiele? 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.
