selgesõnaliseks

Selgesõnaliseks is an Estonian word that translates to "explicit," "clear," "unambiguous," or "frank" in English. It describes a manner of communication or expression that is direct and leaves no room for doubt or misinterpretation. When someone is selgesõnaliseks, they state their thoughts, intentions, or opinions plainly and without hesitation. This can apply to verbal or written communication, as well as actions that clearly demonstrate a person's stance.

The concept of being selgesõnaliseks is often valued in Estonian culture for its honesty and efficiency. It suggests a preference for straightforwardness over politeness that might obscure the true meaning. For example, a selgesõnaliseks statement might directly address a problem, express disagreement firmly, or clearly outline expectations. This approach aims to avoid misunderstandings and facilitate a more direct resolution of issues.

Conversely, a lack of selgesõnaliseks can lead to confusion, frustration, or prolonged unresolved situations. It implies that information is withheld, hinted at, or presented in a way that requires the recipient to infer the intended message. While sometimes indirectness can be a diplomatic tool, being consistently selgesõnaliseks is generally seen as a positive attribute, fostering trust and clarity in relationships and interactions.
