Sõltuvamad

Sõltuvamad is an Estonian word that translates to "more dependent" or "more addicted" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "sõltuv," meaning dependent or addicted. The word can be used in various contexts, ranging from describing a person's reliance on a substance or behavior to a more general state of dependency between individuals or entities.

In discussions about addiction, sõltuvamad might refer to a person who has developed a stronger or more severe addiction compared to a previous state or to another individual. This could indicate an increased tolerance, more intense withdrawal symptoms, or a greater impact on their life.

Beyond addiction, sõltuvamad can describe situations where one party has a greater need for another. For instance, a smaller economy might be sõltuvamad on a larger trading partner, meaning it relies more heavily on that partner for goods, services, or financial stability. Similarly, an individual might be described as sõltuvamad on their family for emotional support if their need for that support has grown.

The specific nuance of "sõltuvamad" depends heavily on the context in which it is used. It always implies a comparison, highlighting a greater degree of dependency or addiction.
