1Object case and a bounded event
A group compares three Estonian examples: „Ma loen raamatut“, „Ma loen selle raamatu läbi“ and „Ma ei loe raamatut“. The task asks for a contextual explanation of the object forms rather than a mechanical English-tense substitution. One learner declares that raamatu proves the book has already been finished, even though loen is present and the sentence can describe a plan. Another inserts the nominative dictionary form into the negative sentence because it is the form first learned.
204 words, about 1 min2A library notice and a missing implication
One learner chooses Sunday as the closed day because that is the day placed closest to the time expression. Another infers that the library is open every weekday, although the notice says nothing about those days. A third correctly identifies the information but claims that reading the notice demonstrates an ability to understand the same message in rapid spoken Estonian. The example is fictional instructional material, not a real library schedule.

One learner selects Friday at three because those details appear first. Another interprets the work commitment as rejection of every possible meeting. A third assumes the speakers will meet at a library, even though the dialogue gives no location. The supplied text is an instructional script, not an audio recording or a real appointment.

A fictional source says that a Friday visit now starts at ten instead of nine and asks visitors to bring identification. The learner must send an Estonian message to an adult host and ask whether the new time is possible. A draft preserves the old time, omits identification and invents a free lunch. It also switches without explanation between informal and polite address.
