Kallis kingitus

Expensive gift

معنی

Refers to a high-priced present.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Estonians often feel a sense of 'piinlikkus' (awkwardness) when receiving very expensive gifts, as it creates a social debt. Similar to Estonia, Nordic cultures value practicality and modesty. An expensive gift should ideally be useful. In Estonian business, expensive gifts are often avoided to prevent any appearance of bribery or corruption. It is common for guests to contribute to a 'kallis kingitus' collectively rather than buying many small things.
