Läbinähtävät

Läbinähtävät is an Estonian word that translates to "transparent" or "see-through" in English. It describes a material or object that allows light to pass through it with minimal scattering, enabling one to see clearly through it. This property is characteristic of substances like glass, clear plastic, and some types of water. The degree of transparency can vary, with some materials being perfectly transparent and others exhibiting partial transparency or translucency, where light is scattered, obscuring clear visibility. In a figurative sense, läbinähtävät can also refer to something that is obvious, easily understood, or devoid of deception. For instance, a transparent motive or a transparent explanation would be one that is straightforward and leaves no room for doubt or misinterpretation. This dual meaning highlights the core concept of clarity, whether in a physical or abstract context. The word is commonly used in everyday Estonian conversation and technical descriptions alike.
