Soovitustuslikele

Soovitustuslikele is a term that has emerged in Estonian internet culture, particularly on social media platforms. It is a neologism, a portmanteau word created by combining "soovitus" (recommendation) and "like" (as in a social media "like"). The word signifies a user's explicit endorsement or approval of a piece of content, often with the implication that they would personally recommend it to others.

The concept of soovitustuslikele goes beyond a simple "like." While a standard like might indicate passive enjoyment or agreement, a soovitustuslikele suggests a more active endorsement. It implies that the user not only enjoyed the content but also found it valuable enough to share or suggest. This can manifest in various ways, such as adding a comment explaining why they are recommending it, or simply using the term in relation to the post.

This type of interaction is often seen on platforms where users share opinions, reviews, or curated content, such as blogs, Instagram, or Twitter. It serves as a signal to other users that the content is not just good, but has received a personal stamp of approval from someone whose taste or judgment they might trust. The term is informal and primarily used within online communities. It reflects a desire for more nuanced ways to express appreciation and endorsement in the digital space.
