sõnalis
Sõnalis is an Estonian word that translates to "verbal" or "word-based." It describes something that is related to words, language, or spoken communication. The term can be applied in various contexts, such as in linguistics, education, or even in describing certain types of artistic expression. For instance, a sõnalis performance might refer to a spoken word poetry event or a theatrical play where dialogue is central. In education, sõnalis skills would encompass a person's ability to communicate effectively through speech and writing. It stands in contrast to non-verbal communication, which relies on gestures, facial expressions, and other visual cues. The concept of sõnalis highlights the importance and power of language as a tool for conveying information, ideas, and emotions. It underscores the deliberate use of words to construct meaning and engage with others.
