زمینه فرهنگی

Estonians value honesty and brevity. Admitting a mistake quickly is seen as a sign of maturity and reliability. In Estonian offices, people prefer directness. If you make a mistake, say it clearly rather than making excuses. In Slack or Teams, Estonians often use 'Minu viga' or 'Minu apsakas' (my slip-up) to keep communication efficient. When someone says 'See on minu viga', the polite response is often 'Pole viga' (No problem/It's okay).

💡

Keep it short

In casual situations, just say 'Minu viga'. It's perfectly natural.

⚠️

Don't over-apologize

Estonians might find excessive apologizing awkward. One 'See on minu viga' is enough.
