Complex Sentences Exercises For Estonian Grammar

Grammar exercises to aid language fluacy

Complex sentences in Estonian grammar consist of a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. The subordinate clauses can serve various functions, such as expressing conditions, time, reasons, or adding additional information. In Estonian, the subordinate clauses can be introduced by conjunctions such as “kui” (if), “et” (that), “kuigi” (although), and “kuna” (since). Estonian word order is relatively flexible, and the structure of complex sentences may vary. In the following exercises, you will practice forming and identifying complex sentences in Estonian grammar.
