## What is Sõnastik?

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.
