Hõljute

Hõljute is an Estonian word that can be translated to "float," "hover," or "drift" in English. It describes a state of gentle, unforced movement through a medium, often air or water, without apparent propulsion or effort. The term conveys a sense of lightness and a lack of resistance to external forces.

The word can be used in various contexts. In a literal sense, it might describe clouds floating in the sky, leaves drifting on a stream, or a balloon hovering in the air. Figuratively, hõljute can refer to a state of mind where thoughts or emotions move freely and unburdened. It can also describe a gentle or easy passage through a situation or a period of time. The feeling associated with hõljute is typically one of tranquility, peace, and effortless being. It suggests a passive, yet graceful, progression. The word avoids connotations of being propelled or pushed, instead emphasizing a natural, almost ethereal, movement.
