Nihestatud

Nihestatud is an Estonian word that translates to "nick" or "cut" in English. It typically refers to a small, shallow cut or incision, often made accidentally. This can happen in various contexts, such as when preparing food, using tools, or during minor injuries. The word implies a less severe wound than a deep gash or laceration.

The term "nihestatud" can be used to describe both inanimate objects and living beings. For instance, a knife might be described as nihestatud if its edge has a small chip or imperfection. Similarly, a person's skin can be described as nihestatud after a minor cut. The context usually clarifies the nature and severity of the cut. It is a common term in everyday language, used to describe minor damage or injury without implying significant harm. The Estonian language uses this word to differentiate these smaller cuts from more serious wounds.
