Suurtähed

suurtähed is an Estonian term referring to capital letters or uppercase letters. In Estonian grammar, the rules for using capital letters are similar to those in many other European languages. Generally, suurtähed are used at the beginning of sentences, for proper nouns such as personal names, place names, and organization names. For example, "Jaan" (a name) and "Tallinn" (a city) would both start with a capital letter. The first word of a direct quotation is also typically capitalized. When referring to specific titles of books, films, or other works, the first word and any proper nouns within the title are capitalized. However, common nouns within a title are usually in lowercase unless they are the first word. The pronoun "Mina" (I) is always capitalized when used in Estonian. Adjectives derived from proper nouns, like nationalities or languages, are also capitalized, for instance, "eestlane" (Estonian person) or "eesti keel" (Estonian language). Conversely, common nouns in the middle of a sentence are generally not capitalized unless they function as part of a proper name.
