Sõnastik is a fast, beautifully simple Estonian dictionary built on Ekilex — the official Estonian language database from the Institute of the Estonian Language.
Translate Estonian words to and from your language: Russian, English, Ukrainian, French, or German.
Why people love it:
• Whole-sentence lookup — type or paste an Estonian sentence and get a translation with a word-by-word breakdown; tap any word for its base form, grammar, examples and audio. Idioms and phrasal verbs are highlighted automatically.
• Bidirectional — search Estonian or your own language; both directions just work.
• A1–C1 mode — learn vocabulary by CEFR level. Take a 1-minute placement test, see your % at each level, and push it to 100%.
• 5 translation languages — Russian, English, Ukrainian, French, German.
• Search history — instantly return to words you looked up before; swipe to remove.
• Favorites — save words you want to remember and revisit them anytime.
• Themes — light, dark, or follow system.
• Statistics — daily streak, learning progress and most viewed words.
• Forms trainer — practice noun cases and verb forms by typing, level by level.
• Translated examples — real Estonian–Russian phrases from the EVS dictionary.
• Word pictures — illustrations for many common words.
