And I say, here we want a WIFE (or husband!) or nothing! :-)Kapten Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969089189194978999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11203828.post-70012782692856629262007-04-26T10:09:00.000-04:002007-04-26T10:09:00.000-04:00"Tegija" means somebody who´s cool and successful ..."Tegija" means somebody who´s cool and successful (in job, at school, with opposite sex etc). There is probably some slang word for it in English, but translating is always hard, there are so many words that have no exact translation in other language. In fact, calling somebody "tegija" is slang, too, so it is not exactly correct in Estonian. These ads are usually meant for teenagers and made by older people who think they know how teenagers speak and what they would like. <BR/><BR/>About you and girls... In Estonia we have dozens of Christian girls who are desperate to get married - because it is extremely hard to get an Estonian guy to come to the service. Unfortunately they all are much older than you and they really hope for white wedding and everything that comes with it (a nice apartment, babies and a golden retriever for example), just being somebody´s girlfriend would not be enough. Just wait, in case you manage to stay single until you´re 25, you´ll have free choice (the situation about single girls and boys will probably not improve) and the girls will be desperate to go out with you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
