معنی
Walking for leisure or exercise.
زمینه فرهنگی
Estonians have a 'bog-walking' culture. They use special 'bog shoes' (räätsad) to go 'jalutamas' in wetlands. Health trails (terviserajad) are found in almost every Estonian town, specifically designed for 'jalutamas käimine' and 'tervisesport'. Walking is a common 'first date' activity in Estonia, as it is seen as less intense than a formal dinner. The 'White Nights' in summer lead to people 'jalutamas käima' very late at night when it is still light outside.
The 'Käima' Rule
Remember that 'käima' always implies you return. If you say 'Ma käisin jalutamas', it means you are already back home.
Silence is Golden
Don't feel the need to talk constantly while walking with an Estonian. The shared silence is part of the experience.
