Vastuvõtlikum

Vastuvõtlikum is an Estonian word that translates to "more receptive" or "more susceptible" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective vastuvõtlik, meaning receptive or susceptible. The word is used to describe a greater degree of openness to influence, ideas, or stimuli. For example, one might say a child is vastuvõtlikum to learning new things when they are young, or that a person is vastuvõtlikum to criticism after a difficult experience. The context in which vastuvõtlikum is used determines whether it implies a positive or negative susceptibility. It can indicate a heightened capacity for understanding or absorbing information, or conversely, a greater vulnerability to external factors. The word is employed across various domains, from psychology and education to discussions about health and social interactions, to denote an increased readiness or proneness to being affected by something.
