Nõrgemind

Nõrgemind is a colloquial Estonian term that translates roughly to "weaker mind" or "dimwitted." It is used to describe someone perceived as lacking intelligence, being slow to understand, or making poor decisions. The term is generally considered derogatory and is not a formal psychological or medical diagnosis. It is often used in informal conversation to express frustration or to dismiss someone's ideas or capabilities. The specific nuance of "nõrgemind" can vary depending on the context, but it consistently implies a deficit in cognitive ability. It is important to note that using such terms can be offensive and contributes to negative stereotyping. While the term is widely understood in Estonian, its usage is generally discouraged in polite or professional settings.
