Tomorrow if you happen to be in Tartu, you're invited to drop in at my pop-up Finno-Ugric café. The gulyás is ready. The lángos is made on the spot, as well as the Mokša pastries. At 13:00 we'll give a short concert in various Finno-Ugric languages as well. 💞 fb.me/e/iCuiiLu5P

I had a blast talking to Merilin Pärli about Hungary, Finno-Ugric stuff and everything in between. I was especially happy that Novaator chose to highlight minority-language urban culture. Tis the good stuff! 😍 novaator.err.ee/1609760838/u...

etymologies that make my brain go 🫠

The flag of Siberian Seto people. In the turn of the 19-20. century, Setomaa (Southeast-Estonia) was so overpopulated that many left and tried luck in Siberia. Many came back, but a few hundred still live there and keep contact with Motherland through friends-relatives, such as Aare Hõrn (pictured).

whenever I feel like life is hard, I remind myself that at least I'm not studying Forest Nenets

A few pictures of our concert at the Fenno-Ugria Night of Tallinn Music Week. It was physically demanding for me to perform (I was just released from hospital), but emotionally well worth it - both as an artist and as audience, not to mention member of the big Finno-Ugric family. 💕

Oh, look, my band's playing at Tallinn Music Week! We are Kännu Peal Käbi, and we play in various Finno-Ugric languages. This time it's gonna be Erzya, Moksha, Livonian, Ingrian Finnish and Võru. Fenno-Ugria Night is going to be a blast, just like last year. tmw.ee/events/fenno...

Today cleaning my inbox I came across some Mari riddles. Let's see if you guess them right! 1. On top of the stove lies a buzzing sausage, what is it? A cat

The Finno-Ugric Disco is back in Tartu! Crow Day, second Saturday of April, is a traditional Khanty-Mansi holiday to celebrate the return of the crows to the taiga. We'll celebrate the coming spring with a good rave - who knows, maybe with Khanty-Mansi disco hits as well! 🪩

Recharging after this dreadful week: - hot drinks in Setomaa's loveliest café (Taarka Tarõ) with a hot Seto guy and cats - burning a maaselits doll full of bad wishes in Lüübnitsa - eating Udmurt pancakes (табань) then singing, dancing and playing for hours with Udmurt and Seto friends

It's time to continue with my introduction of Finno-Ugric peoples! You can find Part 1 below. BTW this is the proposed flag of all Finno-Ugric peoples. It was designed by a Pole (Szymon Pawlas) in 2013. If you look closely, you see flags of various Finno-Ugric peoples incorporated in it.

We showed last summer's Finno-Ugric experimental films to university people. It was so much fun. ❤️ I worked my heart out on this project and it's the most satisfying thing to be able to share the result.

Dear Bluesky People, I haven't yet made a proper introduction here - but instead of myself, I'd rather introduce the Finno-Ugric peoples I research, promote and am somehow obsessed with. Hop on!

everybody go learn from Estonia (again)⬇️

Who are these people in the creepy masks? It's Шорыкйол among the Mari, a week-long celebration in early January that could be translated as 'the holiday of the the sheep's leg'. It's meant to take account of the previous year, and welcome the new one.

In today´s #vatniksoup REBREW, I´ll introduce a Hungarian lawyer and politician, Viktor Orbán (@PM_ViktorOrban). He´s best-known for turning Hungary into an authoritarian state, and for cooperating with other authoritarian regimes like the Kremlin, the CCP and Iran. 1/24

Dear Bluesky Community, I'm a Hungarian living in Estonia, with opinions about politics of both countries, especially Hungary. More importantly, I'm a Finno-Ugric linguist specializing on the Volga-Kama region. I'm gonna spam people here with Finn-Ugric stuff. Sometimes politics. Shamelessly. :)
