läbinägelik

läbinägelik is an Estonian adjective that translates to transparent or see-through. It describes something that light can pass through, allowing one to see what is on the other side. This can apply to physical objects like glass or certain types of plastic. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation, process, or intention that is open, clear, and easy to understand, with no hidden motives or complexities. For example, a läbinägelik decision-making process would be one where all the steps and reasons are evident to those involved. Similarly, a läbinägelik person is someone whose thoughts and feelings are easily discernible, often implying honesty and openness. The opposite of läbinägelik in its literal sense would be opaque, while metaphorically it might be considered secretive or deceptive. The term emphasizes a lack of obstruction, whether physical or figurative, allowing for unobstructed perception.
