väheolulised

väheolulised is an Estonian adjective that translates to "unimportant," "insignificant," or "trivial" in English. It is used to describe things that lack value, consequence, or significance. The term can be applied to a wide range of contexts, from minor details in a larger discussion to matters that have little impact on a situation.

For example, one might describe a minor factual error in a lengthy report as väheolulised, implying that it does not fundamentally alter the report's overall conclusions. Similarly, a person might refer to personal preferences or preferences that are not critical to a decision as väheolulised. The adjective suggests that something is not worth a significant amount of attention or effort.

The word is derived from "vähe" meaning "little" or "few" and "oluline" meaning "important" or "significant." Therefore, literally, it means "little important" or "not important." Its antonym is "olulised," meaning "important" or "significant." The usage of väheolulised is common in everyday Estonian conversation and writing to distinguish between matters of greater and lesser concern.
