Which difference separates Estonian from Finnish?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Estonian has lost vowel harmony, while Finnish still has it
- Step 1: In Finnish, endings change with the vowels of the word, as in talossa and kylässä. Step 2. In Estonian, endings no longer follow this rule. Answer: Estonian has lost vowel harmony, while Finnish still has it. Why not the others: Estonian has no articles and is Uralic.
