lähim

Lühim is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts depending on the context, primarily within Estonian language and culture.

In the context of Estonian language, "lühim" is the superlative form of the adjective "lühike," meaning "short." Therefore, "lühim" translates to "shortest." This is used to describe the least duration, length, or extent when comparing three or more items. For example, one might refer to the "lühim aeg" (shortest time) or the "lühim vahemaa" (shortest distance).

Beyond its grammatical function, "Lühim" has also been used as a name. Notably, it was the name of a specific type of Estonian cigarette. These cigarettes were known for their shorter length compared to standard-sized cigarettes. The brand "Lühim" was a common sight in Estonia for a period.

In other instances, "lühim" might appear in geographical or place-related contexts, though these are less common and generally derived from the meaning of "shortest." For example, it could be part of a descriptive phrase for a particular route or path. The specific usage would always clarify the intended meaning.
