liigutavat

The Estonian word "liigutavat" is the partitive singular form of the adjective "liigutav." This adjective translates to "moving," "touching," or "poignant" in English. It is used to describe something that evokes strong emotions, often sadness, sympathy, or tenderness, in a person.

When something is described as "liigutavat," it implies that it has deeply affected the observer or listener on an emotional level. This could be a piece of music, a story, a film, a gesture, or even a memory. The impact is generally profound and leaves a lasting impression. For instance, a touching story about overcoming adversity might be described as "liigutavat," as it elicits a strong emotional response from those who hear or read it. Similarly, a melancholic melody could be deemed "liigutavat" for its ability to stir feelings of nostalgia or gentle sorrow. The core idea is that the subject matter has a significant emotional resonance.
