väändumise

Väänamine is an Estonian term that generally refers to the act of twisting or wringing something. It can describe a physical action applied to objects, such as wringing out a wet cloth to remove excess water. This process involves applying rotational force to the material, causing it to deform and expel liquid.

In a broader sense, väänamine can also be used metaphorically. It might refer to distorting information or twisting facts to present a misleading perspective. This usage implies manipulating something from its original form or truth to create a different outcome or impression. The context in which väänamine is used is crucial for understanding whether it refers to a literal physical act or a figurative manipulation. The term is relatively straightforward in its core meaning of applying twisting forces, but its application can extend into more abstract concepts.
