tõrjuti

Tõrjuti is a Estonian word that translates to "repelled" or "thwarted" in English. It describes an action or situation where something was prevented from succeeding or advancing. This can apply to various contexts, from military engagements where an attack is repelled to personal situations where an unwanted advance is thwarted.

In a military sense, a tõrjuti might describe a successful defense against an invading force. It implies that the attackers were pushed back and their objectives were not achieved. This could be due to effective resistance, strategic positioning, or a combination of factors.

Beyond warfare, tõrjuti can be used more broadly. For instance, a difficult conversation might be described as tõrjuti if one party successfully avoided addressing a sensitive topic. Similarly, a persistent nuisance could be said to have been tõrjuti if their attempts to bother someone were unsuccessful. The core meaning remains the prevention of something from happening or progressing. The word emphasizes the outcome of resistance or prevention.
