By Plenary Sessions: Signe Kivi

The speech is predominantly formal and procedural, as it is a committee report, but includes personal and emotional appeals concerning the regrettable state of the Estonian language. He/She employs logical argumentation, drawing upon ministry positions and committee discussions, and acknowledges a personal "burden" when initiating conversation in Russian, which lends a self-critical tone to the rhetoric.

The speech is formal, historical, and convincingly argued, making extensive use of historical quotes and parallels regarding cultural battles and determination. The style is respectful ("Honorable Speaker of the Riigikogu! Dear colleagues!"), but it includes rhetorical questions and an urgent call to action ("aren't problems there specifically to be solved?"). It concludes with an emotional appeal: "Long live Estonia! Long live Estonia!".

The rhetorical style is respectful and appreciative toward the minister, beginning with direct praise and emphasizing the difficulty of his work ("at the end of a complex and demanding workday"). The tone is formal and constructive, presenting a balanced question that requires identifying both the greatest success and any potential failure.
