Estonian and Finnish are both Finnic languages of the Uralic family — not Indo-European. Speakers can often understand simple sentences in each other's language, but the two split linguistically around 1,000 years ago and many cognates have shifted meaning. Estonian dropped some final vowels Finnish kept (Finnish kala 'fish' vs Estonian kala — same; Finnish vesi 'water' vs Estonian vesi).
Estonian has no grammatical gender or future tense, but uses 14 noun cases (nominative, genitive, partitive plus 11 'semantic' cases) and a three-way contrast in sound length (short, long, overlong) that distinguishes words like sada 'hundred' / saada 'send'. Verbs have an inferential mood. LingoBear lets you see these patterns in real text.
