意味
Indicating that you understand something perfectly.
文化的背景
Estonians value 'talupojamõistus' (peasant wisdom/common sense). 'See on selge' appeals to this by focusing on practical, clear understanding rather than abstract theory. In Estonian meetings, silence often means agreement. If someone says 'See on selge', it is a definitive end to that agenda item. In Slack or Teams, Estonians often just react with a 'check' emoji or type 'Selge' to minimize digital noise. Estonian schools emphasize STEM. 'Selge' is used frequently in math and science to denote that a proof or logic holds up.
The Nod
When saying 'See on selge', a single firm nod is the standard Estonian body language to accompany it.
Don't Overuse
If you say it after every single sentence someone speaks, you might sound like you're rushing them.
