Significado
A simple expression of preference.
Contexto cultural
Estonians value sincerity. If someone says 'See meeldib mulle', they aren't just being polite; they truly appreciate it. Understatement is common. 'See meeldib mulle' is often the highest praise you'll get for a meal. On Estonian social media, the 'Like' button is translated as 'Meeldib'. It is common to use this phrase when receiving a gift to show immediate appreciation.
The 'To Me' Rule
Always remember the '-le' ending. If you forget it, the sentence falls apart.
Don't over-use 'Armastama'
In English, we 'love' pizza. In Estonian, we usually just 'like' (meeldib) it. Save 'armastama' for people.

Plurality Matters
If you like multiple things (e.g., books), change 'meeldib' to 'meeldivad'.
