Rõhutuda

Rõhutuda is an Estonian verb that translates to "to be stressed," "to be under pressure," or "to be emphasized." It is the passive form of the verb "rõhutama," which means "to stress" or "to emphasize." When something is described as rõhutuda, it indicates that it is subject to external pressure or has been given particular importance.

In everyday Estonian, rõhutuda is commonly used to describe feelings of stress or anxiety. For instance, a person might say "Ma tunnen end väga rõhutuna" which means "I feel very stressed."

Beyond personal feelings, rõhutuda can also refer to the emphasis placed on certain aspects of a topic or statement. For example, in a discussion, a point might be made that is "rõhutatud," meaning it is especially important or highlighted. This usage is similar to saying something is "emphasized" or "given prominence." The context clarifies whether the meaning relates to emotional stress or a deliberate highlighting of information.
