Significado
A room that is tidy and free of dirt.
Contexto cultural
The 'no shoes' rule is the most important cultural aspect of keeping a 'tuba puhas'. Estonians usually provide slippers (sussid) for guests. Spring cleaning (kevadine suurpuhastus) is a ritual where every 'tuba' is made 'puhas' after the long winter. The 'Teeme Ära' movement has made cleanliness a point of national pride and collective action. In old farmhouses, the 'puhas tuba' (or 'tagatuba') was the best room, kept clean for guests and special occasions.
Agreement is Key
Always remember to change both words if you change the case. 'Puhtas toas' is the most common variation you'll need.
