Résumé : | he roots of "Ootame, vaatame" "Let’s wait and see," are embedded in the deepest chasm of the Estonian psyche because, for a very long time, the people had little choice to do anything else. This philosophy is a close relation to the Spanish mañana ("tomorrow"). The difference is that the languid Spanish are just deferring something. The pragmatic Estonians are not. They are waiting and seeing.
A guide to understanding the Estonians which dispels or confirms preconceived prejudices with humor and insight. [Amazon] |
