뜻
A task that is not difficult.
문화적 배경
Estonians value 'tublidus' (being hardworking/capable). Saying something is 'kerge töö' after you've done it well is a common way to show modesty. Similar to their Nordic neighbors, Estonians prefer functional and efficient work. 'Kerge töö' is often the goal of innovation. In the startup scene, 'kerge töö' is often used to describe tasks that have been successfully automated. In the countryside, 'kerge töö' still literally refers to physical tasks that children or the elderly can perform.
The 'Olema' Rule
When using 'See on...' (This is...), always use the nominative 'kerge töö'.
Don't Belittle
Be careful using this for someone else's job; it might sound like you don't value what they do.
