Lõdvestatum is an Estonian word that translates to "more relaxed" or "more at ease" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "lõdvestunud," which means "relaxed." The word is used to describe a state of reduced tension, stress, or anxiety. For instance, one might say they feel lõdvestatum after a vacation or a massage.

The concept of being lõdvestatum is often associated with physical and mental well-being. It implies a state where muscles are less tense, breathing is deeper, and the mind is less preoccupied with worries. Achieving this state can involve various activities such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, spending time in nature, or engaging in hobbies. In social contexts, a person might be described as lõdvestatum if they are behaving in a calm and uninhibited manner.

The opposite of lõdvestatum would be "pingul" or "ärev," meaning "tense" or "anxious."
