Sõnastuskehv

Sõnastuskehv is an Estonian adjective that translates to "poorly worded" or "badly phrased." It describes something that is expressed in a way that is unclear, awkward, or ineffective. This term can be applied to various forms of communication, including written text, spoken language, and even signs or instructions.

When something is described as sõnastuskehv, it suggests that the author or speaker has not chosen their words carefully. This can lead to misunderstandings, ambiguity, or a general lack of impact. For example, a contract with sõnastuskehv clauses might be difficult to interpret legally. Similarly, a public announcement that is sõnastuskehv might confuse the intended audience.

The opposite of sõnastuskehv would be something that is well-articulated, clear, and precise. Achieving good sõnastus (wording) requires careful consideration of vocabulary, sentence structure, and the overall flow of communication to ensure the message is conveyed effectively and accurately. Therefore, sõnastuskehv highlights a deficiency in the art of expression.
