visioon

Visioon is a noun in Estonian that denotes vision in several related senses. The most common use is as a mental image or conceptual picture of something not immediately present, such as an imagined future scenario. Visioon also describes a broader sense of foresight or imaginative understanding, and in religious or artistic contexts it can refer to a dreamlike or prophetic experience.

Origin and related terms: Visioon is borrowed from the same root as the international word vision, from Latin visio, via European languages. In Estonian, the term is widely used across domains to emphasize intent, aspiration, or imaginative process rather than mere physical sight.

Uses and contexts: In business and organizational planning, visioon refers to a long-term objective or guiding statement that describes what the organization aims to become. In culture, cinema, and literature, the word is used to characterize an artist’s conceptual approach or creative direction. In personal life, people may speak of a life visioon to describe their plans or values for the future.
