õõnsust

õõnsust is an Estonian word that translates to "hollow" or "cavity" in English. It refers to an empty space within something, a void, or a recess. This term can be applied in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a physical sense, õõnsust can describe the empty space inside a tree trunk, a hollowed-out piece of wood, or a cavity within the earth. It can also refer to an empty space within an object, such as a hollow sphere or a hollow-out section of a tool. In anatomy, it might describe a bodily cavity like the thoracic or abdominal cavity.

Figuratively, õõnsust can be used to describe a lack of substance, meaning, or depth. For example, a speech or an argument might be described as õõnsust if it lacks real content or conviction. It can also imply emptiness or a feeling of being hollow, often associated with loneliness or a lack of fulfillment. The word's versatility allows it to describe both physical and abstract emptiness.
