põhikuju

Põhikuju is an Estonian term that translates to "main character" or "protagonist" in English. It refers to the central figure in a narrative, such as a story, novel, play, film, or video game. The põhikuju is typically the character around whom the plot revolves, and whose experiences, motivations, and development drive the story forward. Readers or viewers often empathize with the põhikuju and experience the events of the narrative through their perspective. While the põhikuju is the most prominent character, other characters, such as antagonists or supporting figures, play crucial roles in shaping their journey and the overall plot. The success of a narrative often depends on the compelling nature and relatability of its põhikuju.
