Gemini chat and Gemini Live
I'd been interacting with Gemini in chat mode and this gave me the explanations and repetitions I've put here in previous sections.
I discovered that Gemini Live can offer another very useful dimension to my learning Estonian (and potentially any language).
There are differences with both options.
Gemini chat has access to Samsung Notes and can paste whatever I ask into this doc writer. I am able then to open this in other formats, send it on to my mailbox for later access. 
Gemini Live will have a conversation with me about any specific aspects of the story I choose. 

In 7.4 the first sentence has Red Riding Hood saying 'It's still early and I will definitely get there'. 
Which in Estonian is - Veel on vara ja ma jõuan kindlasti kohale.
This verb phrase appears in an earlier section when mum tells the girl 'and when you get there be sure to ...'. I asked Gemini to focus on this and give me the sentence for all personal pronouns.

It gave me:

Estonian Verb Conjugation: Jõudma
 
Positive Forms:
 
  - Veel on vara ja ma jõuan kindlasti kohale. (It's still early and I will definitely/certainly get there)
  - Veel on vara ja sa jõuad kindlasti kohale. (he...) 
  - Veel on vara ja ta jõuab kindlasti kohale. (you singular...)
  - Veel on vara ja me jõuame kindlasti kohale. (we...)
  - Veel on vara ja te jõuate kindlasti kohale. (you plural...) 
  - Veel on vara ja nemad jõuavad kindlasti kohale. (they...)

Then I asked about how the negative form would be, thinking of 'It's late and I'm not going to get there'. 
It gave me:

Negative Forms:
On hilja - It's late 
  - On hilja ja ma ei jõua kindlasti kohale. (It's late and I definitely won't get there)
  - On hilja ja sa ei jõua kindlasti kohale. (he)
  - On hilja ja ta ei jõua kindlasti kohale. (you sing.)
  - On hilja ja me ei jõua kindlasti kohale. (we)
  - On hilja ja te ei jõua kindlasti kohale. (you plural)
  - On hilja ja nemad ei jõua kindlasti kohale. (they)

So, I learned that the negative form does not change for all the pronouns. Estonian has a cool grammatical phenomenon where 'ei' gives the negative and the single form of the verb used after it is 'jõua'.

Here is the grammatical breakdown of the sentence in English:
**Iga** – Determinative pronoun, singular nominative. It modifies the following noun to indicate "every" or "each."

**ta** – Personal pronoun (short form of *tema*), singular nominative. The subject of the subordinate clause ("she" or "he").

**ilusamat** – Adjective, comparative degree, singular partitive. It modifies "teist" ("a more beautiful [one]").
**ja** – Coordinating conjunction. It connects the two main parts of the compound sentence ("and").
**nii** – Adverb. An adverb of manner or result ("so" or "in this way").

**lillest** – Noun, singular elative case (-st ending). Indicates the starting point of the movement ("from [a] flower").
**lilleni** – Noun, singular terminative case (-ni ending). Indicates the end point or limit ("to [a] flower").
**järjest** – Adverb. Indicates a continuous or progressive state ("more and more" or "consistently").

*Iga kord, kui ta ühe lille lõikas, arvas ta, et näeb veidi eemal teist, veel ilusamat, ja nii läks ta lillest lilleni järjest sügavamale metsa.*

* **Ma läksin** sügavamale metsa. (I went...)
* **Sa läksid** sügavamale metsa. (You went...)
* **Ta läks** sügavamale metsa. (He/She went...)
* **Me läksime** sügavamale metsa. (We went...)
* **Te läksite** sügavamale metsa. (You all went...)
* **Nad läksid** sügavamale metsa. (They went...)

See fraas – **"näeb veidi eemal teist, veel ilusamat"**
Siin on see lauseosake kõigis pööretes (olevikus):
* **Ma näen** veidi eemal teist, veel ilusamat. (I see...)
* **Sa näed** veidi eemal teist, veel ilusamat. (You see...)
* **Ta näeb** veidi eemal teist, veel ilusamat. (Ta näeb...)
* **Me näeme** veidi eemal teist, veel ilusamat. (Me näeme...)
* **Te näete** veidi eemal teist, veel ilusamat. (Te näete...)
* **Nad näevad** veidi eemal teist, veel ilusamat. (Nad näevad...)

**"Ma näen veidi eemal teist, veel parem."** That means "I see another one, even better, a little further away."
