뜻
A piece of clothing with a short hemline.
문화적 배경
The 'White Nights' of June are the peak time for wearing short dresses. Since it never truly gets dark, people stay out in light summer clothing until dawn. Estonians often follow the 'Nordic' style, which means pairing a feminine 'lühike kleit' with chunky boots or a denim jacket to balance the look. While traditional folk costumes are long and heavy, the modern 'lühike kleit' represents Estonia's rapid Westernization after 1991. In Estonian offices, a 'lühike kleit' is generally acceptable as long as it isn't 'liiga lühike' (too short). The culture is relatively relaxed compared to Southern Europe.
Case Agreement
Always remember that if you change 'kleit' to 'kleiti', you must change 'lühike' to 'lühikest'.
Avoid 'Madal'
Never use 'madal' to describe the length of clothes. It sounds like the dress is physically low to the ground.
