Mõistlikud

Mõistlikud is an Estonian term that generally functions as an adjective meaning "reasonable" or "sensible." In the plural form mõistlikud it can refer to people who are considered reasonable, prudent, or pragmatic, and it can also be used as a label for actions or decisions that are pragmatic.

Etymology and usage: The word is formed from mõistlik (reasonable) with the standard Estonian adjectival suffix -lik. It relates to mõistus (mind, reason) and is widely used in everyday language to describe decisions, plans, policies, or opinions that are grounded in practicality rather than idealism.

As a capitalized proper noun, Mõistlikud may appear as the name of a fictional faction or a local organization. There is no widely recognized national political party or organization by that exact name in public records; such use would typically indicate a small group or a fictional entity in a work of fiction.
