The article tackles short forms of folklore in one of Estonian regions – Virumaa. The discussion maps the close ties that exist between old parishes in terms of folk material, characterised by archaic and dialectal traits as well as by a strong influence from the traditional folk songs in runo verse (regilaul). Another regional characteristic is the influence of kindred peoples who once lived in the same area as well as from neighbouring peoples. The proverbs and sayings display a richness of unique expressions but also the first mentions of well-known Estonian traditional expressions. Next to folk sayings, humour related to neighbours as well as pejorative sayings based on place names are also discussed, with a specific focus on regional characteristics.

Phrasemes that represent a short folklore genre are found in all languages. They can be used to enrich both the spoken and written language, and the ability to use them shows a skilful mastery of the language. The term kõnekäänd [speech + turn > turn of phrase], which marks instances of figurative language, first appeared in Estonian a couple of centuries ago. The present article explores written Estonian sources (dictionaries, grammars, textbooks, handbooks, and monographs, but also correspondence and handwritten collections) from the 17th century up to the 1920s, to find out how this term evolved and why it came into use. In so doing, some insights into German terms are also offered to explain the influence other languages had on the written language that was still developing back then.
