Nõudlikumat

Nõudlikumat is an Estonian word that translates to "more demanding" or "more exacting" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "nõudlik," which means demanding or exacting. This word is used to describe a situation, person, or task that requires a greater degree of effort, attention, or skill than something else. For example, one might say that a particular project is nõudlikumat than a previous one, implying it requires more time, resources, or expertise. Similarly, a person could be described as nõudlikumat if they have higher standards or expectations. The context in which the word is used determines its precise meaning. It can apply to intellectual pursuits, physical activities, or even personal relationships where higher expectations are present. The superlative form of the word is "kõige nõudlikum," meaning "most demanding." Understanding the comparative nature of nõudlikumat is key to interpreting its usage in Estonian sentences, as it always implies a comparison to something else that is less demanding.
