معنی
Moving at a high speed on foot.
زمینه فرهنگی
Estonians love nature running. It's common to see people 'kiiresti jooksma' in bog-shoeing competitions or forest trails. In the Olympics, Estonian commentators use this phrase constantly to describe sprinters. The 'Kalevipoeg' (Estonian epic hero) was known to run fast across the land, though usually described with more archaic verbs. In the 'Silicon Valley of Europe' (Tallinn), 'kiiresti jooksma' is often used metaphorically for startups moving fast.
The -sti Rule
Almost any Estonian adjective can become an adverb by adding -sti. Kiire -> Kiiresti, Aeglane -> Aeglaselt.
Don't use for cars
Remember, cars 'sõidavad' (drive), they don't 'jookse' (run).
