disagree  Grzegorz Mizera: Why on earth a person native in Czech and Danish would write to an Estonian friend in Lithuanian!?

disagree  Sergijus Kuzma: Language mismatch. Estonian is not even close to Lithuanian and belongs to a different language family (Finno-Ugric).

Mõnusat puhkust! Toredat puhkust!


Explanation:
There are several ways of saying this, "mõnusat puhkust!" , "toredat puhkust!" are some of them. Puhkus = vacation - that's what you'd say to an adult person; vaheaeg(a)= (shcool) holiday - the latter is ok in case your friend is a school student.
