It is taken from an article entitled : "Keel, identiteet ja ühiskond- Õdagumeresoomõ piirisüämeq". I can understand that it is talking about the issue of language and identity among the balto-finnic minorities! Thank you in advance for your help! :o))

Society
Ühiskond = Society. Also Community, but society is better in this context.
Note from asker:
| "Aitah" for the immediate help! ;o))) It was a stupid question, i know that, but i can only understand some estonian due to my finnish! If i have read the word out loud, i could have remarked its similarity with the finnish "yhteiskunta"! |
