- 1愛沙尼亞的；愛沙尼亞人；愛沙尼亞語
This word does three jobs, all built the same way from the country name.
As an adjective, it means “of ”: Estonian forests, Estonian history, Estonian design.
As a noun, it means a person from : she is Estonian.
As a noun, it also means the language. Though actually, this is the sense that needs saying out loud. Estonian is close to Finnish. It is not like Russian, , or , even though the countries sit near each other. The map makes that guess; the language does not.
People also say Estonian for food, music, and citizenship in a loose way, the same way they say French. If you mean the language, it helps to make that clear: “She speaks Estonian.” Always a capital E.
組成From Estonia + -an (the usual ending for “of a place,” also used for the people and sometimes the language). The -an ending comes through French from Latin -ānus.
