nõrgaks

Nõrgaks is an Estonian word that translates to "weak" or "feeble" in English. It is used to describe a state of lacking physical or mental strength. This can manifest in various contexts, such as a person feeling weak due to illness, old age, or exhaustion. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is not robust or resilient, like a weak argument or a weak structure.

In a physical sense, nõrgaks can refer to a decline in bodily capabilities. For example, someone recovering from a long illness might feel nõrgaks. Similarly, the elderly may experience a natural weakening of their bodies, leading to them being described as nõrgaks. It can also describe a temporary state of reduced energy, such as after strenuous physical activity.

Metaphorically, nõrgaks can be applied to abstract concepts. A plan that has many flaws might be called nõrgaks. A political movement lacking widespread support could be described as nõrgaks. The term implies a deficiency or inadequacy in the quality or strength of something. The antonym of nõrgaks is typically "tugev," meaning "strong." The usage of nõrgaks is common in everyday Estonian conversation and literature.
