Abstract: (992 Views)

Although Persian and Estonian Languages are from two different language families; Persian is from the Iranian branch of Indo-Iranian group of Indo-European Family and Estonian is from the Finnic branch of Finno-Ugric group of Uralic family, but there are some similar and analogous constructions in these two languages which this paper studies and analyses two constructions of them through comparative method which consist of:

Persian
Ma-ra	ketab-i	ast.
I+ra:pre	a book	be:3sg
on(for) me	a book	is
= I have a book.

Estonian
Mul	on	raamat.
I-adess	be:3sg	a book
on(for) me	is	a book
= I have a book.

2- The construction that states something is pleasant or likable for someone.

Persian
Ma-ra	in ketab	kosh ayad.
I+ra:pre	this book	be pleasant:3sg
on(for) me	this book	is pleasant
= I like this book.

Estonian
Mulle	meeldib	see raamat.
I-allative	be pleasant:3sg	this book
on(for) me	is pleasant	this book
= I like this book.

The result of the paper:
a) confirms the hypothetical language family named Indo-Uralic consisting of Indo-European and Uralic.
b) indicates that in the far past, there has been a close relationship between Persian and Estonian Languages that researches can be pinpointed its accuracy or inaccuracy by the next researches in the future.
