Teste-toi 12 questions
Choose the correct word to complete the sentence: Meil on vähe ___.
In Estonian, when expressing 'a little time' or 'not much time', the partitive case 'aega' is used. 'Aeg' is the nominative singular, 'ajad' is nominative plural, and 'aegu' is partitive plural.
Which sentence correctly uses 'aeg' in the context of 'at this time'?
'Praegusel ajal' means 'at this time' or 'currently'. The other options have grammatical errors or don't convey the intended meaning correctly. 'Selle aeg' would be 'its time', and 'Aeg on nüüd' means 'Time is now'. 'Mida sa aega teed?' is incorrect; it should be 'Mida sa teed praegu?'
Select the correct option to translate 'I don't have time'.
The construction 'Mul ei ole' means 'I don't have'. The noun following it, in this case 'time', should be in the partitive case, which is 'aega' for 'aeg'.
The phrase 'mis kell on' means 'what time is it'?
'Mis kell on?' is indeed the standard way to ask 'what time is it?' in Estonian.
You would use 'ajad' to say 'the times are changing'.
In the context of 'the times', 'ajad' (plural nominative of 'aeg') is appropriate. So, 'Ajad muutuvad' means 'The times are changing'.
If you want to say 'in a short time', you would use 'lühikese aja jooksul'.
'Lühikese aja jooksul' correctly translates to 'in a short time' or 'within a short period'. 'Aja' is the genitive case of 'aeg', used here with 'jooksul'.
Listen to the sentence and try to understand what the speaker doesn't have.
Pay attention to what happens when you are having fun.
