意味
Deliberately making things unclear.
文化的背景
Estonians value 'otsekohesus' (directness). Being accused of 'vett segama' is a sign that you are losing the trust of your peers. During the occupation, 'vett segama' was a social defense mechanism against interrogators. This has led to a modern culture that is very sensitive to 'hämamine' (vagueness). Similar to Finns, Estonians prefer silence over 'empty' words. If you speak but don't say anything meaningful, you are seen as stirring the water. In the age of e-government, transparency is a national brand. 'Vee segamine' is the opposite of the 'e-Estonia' ideal.
The 'Partitive' Rule
Always remember 'vett'. If you say 'vett segama', you sound like a pro. If you say 'vesi segama', you sound like a dictionary.
Don't over-use it
It's a strong accusation. Use it when you are 100% sure someone is being deceptive, not just when they are slow to answer.

It's direct. It's not a swear word, but it's a confrontation. Use it with friends or in debates.
The opposite is 'rääkima nii, nagu asjad on' (to speak as things are) or 'selgust looma' (to create clarity).
