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 constructionsof 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

I-allative be pleasant:3sg this book
on(for) me is pleasant this book
= I like this book.
