Jõukamat

Jõukamat is an Estonian word that translates to "wealthier" or "more affluent." It is the comparative form of the adjective "jõukas," meaning "wealthy" or "rich." The word is used to describe an individual, group, or entity that possesses a greater amount of financial resources, assets, or economic power compared to another.

In Estonian society, as in many others, indicators of being jõukamat can include owning significant property, having substantial savings or investments, earning a high income, or having access to a higher standard of living. The term is often used in discussions related to economics, social stratification, and comparative analysis of financial well-being. For instance, one might refer to a jõukamat piirkond (wealthier region) or a jõukamat perekond (wealthier family).

The concept of being jõukamat is relative and depends on the context in which it is used. What is considered wealthy in one economic climate or social group might not be perceived as such in another. The word itself does not carry a negative connotation but rather serves as a descriptive term for a particular level of economic status.
