15th Estonian Parliament, 5th sitting, information briefing
An emphatically decisive and critical tone is used, yet it maintains an official and structured mode of address. It employs direct quotes, questions, and provocative observations (e.g., “How does this stand?”; “What is your position?”), which provides the companion and listener with immediate food for thought. In the written texts, it combines facts and colorful expressions, but strictly adheres to a formal and fact-focused style.

The emphasis is critically forceful in its dismantling; it employs an emotional tone, quotes, and personal references, adding repetitions and humorous segments (e.g., "Kräpp või räpp").

The focus is on fact-based arguments blended with emotional appeals. Speakers adopt a critical yet sincere tone, coupled with affirmative and inviting phrases (“please vote,” “support this bill”). Short, memorable references to historical events and enumeration are employed to boost credibility and inject a degree of enthusiasm into the rhetoric, moving beyond mere routine formality. The texts also feature recurring stylistic emphasis and nationally unifying language.
