Bedeutung
Commonly used when looking at scenery or from a window.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Estonians love 'vaatetornid' (viewing towers). Because the country is flat, the government has built hundreds of wooden towers in national parks so people can get an 'ilus vaade' over the trees. A 'merevaade' (sea view) can increase the price of a Tallinn apartment by up to 30%. It is the most sought-after feature in local listings. When visiting someone's home, if they have a nice view, it is considered very polite to walk to the window and say 'Teil on siit väga ilus vaade'. Estonians are very active on Instagram, and the hashtag #ilusvaade is used for everything from the snowy forests of Otepää to the rocky shores of Saaremaa.
Add 'Väga'
To sound more enthusiastic, add 'väga' (very): 'Väga ilus vaade!'
Case Sensitivity
Remember that if you say 'I see...', you must change it to 'ilusat vaadet'.

If you see 'miljonivaade' in an ad, it means 'million-dollar view'—the ultimate compliment for a property.
Silence is Golden
Don't feel the need to keep talking after saying 'ilus vaade'. Estonians appreciate the quiet moment.
