хотите что сказать эстонцам?

откуда вообще пошёл этот юморной слух, что эстонцы тормознутая и глуповатая нация???

потому что у них двойные гласные,которые удлиняют произношение и поэтому возникает ощущение их заторможенности

History

1989-1995
The origins of the Tallink brand date back to 1989, when a company named Tallink was founded as a Finnish-Soviet joint venture. The joint venture was primarily intended to transport tourists on the approximately 80 kilometer sea-route between Helsinki and Tallinn. In 1990, its first year of operation, the company operated only one chartered vessel, M/S Tallink, and transported approximately 166,000 passengers on the Helsinki-Tallinn route. In 1991, Estonia gained independence, which rapidly increased the country’s appeal as a tourist destination, mostly among the Finnish public. To respond to the growing demand, in 1993 the company chartered M/S Georg Ots, which until that time was competing with the company’s own ferry. During 1993, when the state-owned Estonian Shipping Company (“ESCO”) acquired all of the shares in the company, the company also achieved the milestone of transporting one million passengers annually.

In 1994, an operating company named EMINRE was established to continue the use of the Tallink brand. By the mid-1990s, the Helsinki – Tallinn market had evolved as more and more passengers started to prefer a quicker form of transport to the more leisurely cruise concept. As a result, the high-speed ferries were introduced on the Helsinki-Tallinn route. These were able to transport passengers between the two capitals in approximately one hour and 40 minutes, as opposed to the three and a half hours required by the conventional cruise ferries.
