selgitusteta

"Selgitusteta" is an Estonian word that translates to "without explanation" or "without clarification" in English. It is used to describe a situation where information or reasoning is provided lacking sufficient detail or clarification, leaving the listener or reader unsure about the context or meaning. The term often appears in communication contexts, where an explanation is either omitted intentionally or due to oversight, potentially leading to misunderstandings.

In a broader sense, "selgitusteta" may refer to statements, instructions, or data presented without accompanying background information or justification. This can occur in various fields such as education, where a teacher might provide facts without elaboration, or in media reports that present facts without context.

The use of "selgitusteta" can have implications in critical thinking and comprehension, emphasizing the importance of clear and complete communication. In technical or academic writing, avoiding "selgitusteta" explanations is considered good practice, as thorough clarification aids understanding and reduces ambiguity.

While "selgitusteta" itself is not a formal concept, its recognition highlights the value of transparency and elaboration in effective communication. Awareness of situations where explanations are lacking can promote more thoughtful and comprehensive sharing of information in personal, professional, and public discourse.
