==Using Daily Routine Vocabulary==
Before we start exploring the vocabulary related to daily activities and routines, let's take a moment to appreciate the uniqueness of the Estonian language. Estonian is a Finno-Ugric language, belonging to the Uralic language family. It is the official language of Estonia, spoken by approximately 1.1 million people. Estonian is known for its vowel harmony, where vowels in a word must belong to the same group of front or back vowels. This feature adds a melodic quality to the language and makes it distinctively Estonian.


<p>Now that you know the vocabulary related to daily routines, let's practice using it in context.</p>
Now, let's learn some vocabulary related to daily activities and routines in Estonian. Pay attention to the pronunciation and practice saying the words aloud to familiarize yourself with the Estonian sounds. Remember, practice makes perfect!


<p>Here is an example dialogue:</p>
=== Daily Routine Vocabulary ===


<p>Peter: Hei, Millal sa tavaliselt ärkad?</p>
Here are some common words and phrases related to daily activities and routines in Estonian:


<p>(Hi, when do you usually wake up?)</p>
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| ärkama || [ˈærkɑmɑ] || to wake up

|}


<p>Maria: Tavaliselt ärkan ma kell seitse hommikul.</p>
=== Example Sentences ===


<p>(I usually wake up at 7 in the morning.)</p>
Now, let's see how these words and phrases can be used in context. Here are some example sentences:

<p>Maria: Jah, töötan. Ma lähen tööle kell üheksa hommikul ja tulen koju kell viis õhtul.</p>
In Estonia, punctuality is highly valued, and it is considered polite to arrive on time for appointments and meetings.

For example, the word "täpselt" means "exactly" or "precisely" and is often used to emphasize punctuality.
