Meri is a word that we (and you) got from the original post-ice age inhabitants of Europe (if Finno-Ugrians weren't those people).

Ger. Meer.
Latn. Mare.
Latv. Mare.
Lit. Marios, Marės.
sl. Morje.
Goth. Marei.
Fr. Mer.
Bulg. More.
spn. Mar.
Pol. morze.
Cze. moře.
Hindi, - mudra
Sansk. - Mira (मीर)

yes, totally.

[Äike]

yes, totally.

You show as the retarded troll you are, with no professional background in anything you speak about.

The word meri comes from the Kunda culture inhabitants/first post-ice age settlers to this region, they spoke some proto-European language.

This is the list of words we got from them:

eile
haug
higi- sweat
hull
konn- frog
liha- meat
meri- sea
must
mägi- mountain
neem
nisk
nüri
Peipsi
Pärnu
saar- island
selg
siig
sugu
vimb

with all due respect but I'm using the official etymology dictionary.
the word is still is some dispute, but I doubt Sanskrit got it from the Kunda culture.

IE, Sanskrit, what?

the word meri in the Estonian language comes from the people belonging to the Kunda culture. That is a linguistic fact.

I'm talking about the indo-european languages, not estonian.

''Mare'' is considered to be an indo-european word.

Next time, just don't post things you are not sure about. The word for sea, is one of the few words that we got from the ancient Kunda culture people who lived here before us. That is a linguistic fact.

dude, why are you so hotblooded?
learn to read between the lines. I was obviously joking around with Purje Ja.

and who do you think you are to order me around? you're not my mother.

also, according to the estonian etymology the word Meri is a loanword from Proto-germanic.

you won't be able to, we use credit cards to track who uses the bicycles http://en.cyclocity.lt/How-does-it-work/Using-the-Bikes

That is a good tip. We won't be using credit cards, then.

And I have a feeling Swedbank and Nordea like us more

And why might that be?
They get most of their profit from Estonia. Those bastards.

Mere is probably a loanword you got from us (Mari), and we got it from Latin. embrace your Indo-European shortcomings.

There is just that slight issue that there are meri / mere toponyms in Estonia that date back to more than 6000 years ago, at least one even 12 000 years ago, before the Billingen event. And those toponyms are related to sea or parts of the sea that used to be sea, but are no more because of post-glacial isostatic rebound.

also, about the Word Aesti, It could easily be deprived from old Lithuanian.

athematic verbs still existed in Old Lithuanian.

May be.
But the explanation sucks: me, myself and mini-me (and who is who?).

EDIT. Sorry, my mistake. Not minime. To be or not to be. Was gone.

really? I thought that's Denmark or Sweden.

But the explanation sucks: me, myself and mini-me (and who is who?).

if the Aesti had been asked to introduce themselves, they most probably would have said Esti (æsti) <Name(s)>.

Esti is spelled æsti in IPA.

Baltic unity, hehe.
