Reference

Where the commas go

Commas here follow the grammar, not the pause. The rules are stricter than English.

What it is for

  • A comma before "that" or "because", pause or no pause
  • Rules for lists and for asides
  • Quotation marks are shaped differently from English ones

Watch out

Putting a comma where you'd pause is an English habit. Estonian puts them where the grammar changes, so the habit gives you the same errors every time.
