    Hi,
    Could anyone please translate the title on the back of this card? It's from Estonia, so I'm assuming it is Russian.

    Thank you.

    It's from Estonia you you should assume it's Estonian (insert missing rolleye smiley here), especially as it's written in Latin script!

    Karl Roormägi is probably the publisher's name. Tallinas - Reval refers to Tallinn which was officially called by its German name Reval until 1918. And I think I also read the word piltpostkaartilde, surely something related to postcard.

    Thank you both. Yes, you are right to roll your eyes at me!!!! I made an entirely wrong lingual assumption.

    Although I constantly make mistakes, I always try to learn by them, and my recent pre-occupation with postcards has taught me much. From this postcard of Tallinn, I was prompted to get onto Wikepedia where I learned about the city, geographically, commercially, historically. I then surfed google maps and moved that little man up and down the streets, having a delightful look around until I found the old city walls which are depicted in my postcard. Now, of course, I want to go and visit!

    Thanks again.

    Hello Andres, and thank you very much for the translation!

    Although my initial enquiry was flawed and I felt more than a little bit daft,:oops: I want to say how wonderful this site is, when I've just noticed that my post/request has actually been viewed 448 times! WOW!
    :cool2:
    All of those nice people wanting to help a learner! That's something quite remarkable.

    And, of all the ironies, having said that I would like to visit Estonia, my daughter has just taken a six month contract there! So.. you never know...

    I send many thanks to all 448 members,
    :d-happy:
