Contexto cultural
Estonians are known for being reserved. 'Ma ei tea' is a perfect way to avoid unnecessary small talk. Similar to Estonians, Finns value silence and directness. 'En tiedä' is the Finnish equivalent. In many Nordic cultures, admitting you don't know is seen as a sign of honesty rather than incompetence. In international business, saying 'I don't know' is often preferred over guessing, which can lead to costly mistakes.
