Talk:Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm

message: Having spent time in Tallinn in the winter, small hut and crawl seems so much more apposite... :-) user:sjc
*"Small hut and crawl" has nothing to do with patriotism. You should take all the accents out of the song and translate the unaccented lyrics into English. Scott Gall 02:29, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Actually, "mu onn ja room" does not translate to "small hut and crawl". (To) crawl is "roomama" in Estonian, that's abit wrong. But well, we can leave it that way.
To Scott Gall: When the accents are taken out the words don't mean anything. ;) Curgny 21:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

message: this sentence: This also has the same melody of the counterpart of Estonia. is redundant in my oppinion. 80.235.71.160 18:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The word "adaption" is misleading in this article as it makes no difference between the melody and lyrics. The melody was yes adopted but lyrics are Estonian original. Vulc (talk) 07:56, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

message: can someone check if the IPA transcriptions for the Estonian lyrics are correct? because it doesn't seem so correct. written by 208.54.39.161 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 22:51, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  IPA transcription 

message: added citation needed tags for the literal English and the Võro translation.
The literal translation was added here by an IP. If it's their translation, it does not need a citation (a professional translation cited to a source would be preferable, though).
Same goes for the Võro translation added by , here. The additional question is, why is a Võro translation supposedly relevant here? – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:35, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: Oh, yes indeed, . Many thanks to you for picking up on this. These types of national anthem articles have been on my 'to do' list for ages. Unfortunately, I've not been well and haven't had the strength to pursue the matter.Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:59, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've removed the Võro translation, the cn tag from the literal translation, and the OR tag. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:09, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you! I was getting pulled into edit wars over this issue in the not so distant past, and my health simply didn't permit me to focus on something that I would addressed without blinking an eye. Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:23, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translations and citations needed 

message: I removed the IPA transcription because I see various issues with it. I'm not knowledgable enough to fix it myself. Here's the removed transcription for reference:
For example, in [ˈʋɑ̝l.ʋɑ̝.ku] and [ˈol.k̬u], the first has a long (grade 2) [k] while the second has short (grade 1). So "valvaku" should be something like [ˈʋɑ̝lʋɑ̝k:u], or perhaps ˈʋɑ̝l.ʋɑ̝k.ku in analogy with [ˈet.te̞], [ˈkɑ̝l.lis].
In general, Wikipedia / Wiktionary has many issues with IPA for Estonian, and unfortunately I don't know how to consistently resolve them. Mats84 (talk) 08:12, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
