Signification
Acting immediately after a decision is made.
Contexte culturel
Estonians value 'teotahe' (readiness to act). This phrase is a verbal badge of honor for someone who doesn't waste time. Similar to the Estonian 'Mõeldud, tehtud', Finns use 'Tuumasta toimeen', which means 'from thought to action'. The startup culture in Tallinn has adopted this phrase to describe 'agile' workflows and quick pivots.
Use it for small things
Don't save this for big life changes. Use it for small things like 'Let's go for a walk' to sound more like a native.
Don't over-conjugate
Never say 'Mõeldud, teeme'. Keep both words in the '-tud' form.
