Estonian has a few unusual vowel sounds. The letter
ä
is pronounced “ah” as
in“hat,” but
a
without theumlaut soundsmorelike “aw” asin“hot.” Tomake
the sound
ö
say “oh” and purse your lips; the letter
ó
is similar, but with the
lips less pursed. Listen to locals and imitate. In the phonetics, Ī/ī sounds like
the
i
in “light.”
