Americans suck at Estonian.

"Person of Interest" - CBS,

The show has the Estonian mafia in it and it seems like they didnt invest anything in authenticity... lol.

There is a line "G?edis gametsi kamero"(none of these words exist in Estonian), the english subtitles say it's "Clean this up"

The real translation from english to Estonian would be "Koristage see sitt ?ra", the Estonian press is just flaming right now about how bullshitty CBS is on authenticity.

The guy who translated it must have been...

eStoned..

IIRC in the Hunt for Red October it's only Alec Baldwin speaking real Russian - Sean Connery and the other actors made it up as they went along

Because Alec Baldwin was the only legit communist in that movie. 2Tartu CBS has the same problem with their news department, they have a very difficult time with facts and accuracy. For what it's worth I watched that episode last night and it was only so so.
