nõudlikumateks

Nõudlikumateks is an Estonian word that translates to "more demanding" or "more discerning" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "nõudlik," meaning demanding or particular. This word is used to describe a person, situation, or object that has become more specific in its requirements or expectations compared to a previous state. For instance, a client might become nõudlikumaks after a series of unsatisfactory experiences, meaning they now have higher expectations for service or product quality. Similarly, a task might become nõudlikumaks if it requires more attention to detail or a higher level of skill than initially anticipated. The word can also be applied to preferences; for example, someone's taste in music might become nõudlikumaks as they are exposed to a wider variety of genres and develop a more refined palate. The context in which nõudlikumateks is used will determine the precise nuance of its meaning, but it generally implies an increase in stringency or particularity.
