A1 Expression ニュートラル

Ma ei ole nõus.

I do not agree.

意味

Expressing disagreement.

🌍

文化的背景

Estonians are known for being very direct. Disagreeing is not seen as rude, but as a way to reach the truth. Like their Nordic neighbors, Estonians value consensus, but they won't pretend to agree just to be polite. In Estonian meetings, silence doesn't always mean agreement. If someone is not 'nõus', they will usually say it clearly. The phrase is ubiquitous in Estonian software and apps for 'I do not accept' buttons.

💡

Use 'pole'

To sound more like a local, use 'Ma pole nõus' instead of the full 'Ma ei ole nõus'.

⚠️

Don't forget 'ole'

Saying 'Ma ei nõus' is a very common beginner mistake. Always keep the verb!
