뜻
To make a mistake or be wrong.
문화적 배경
Estonians often use 'mööda panema' to avoid direct confrontation. It's softer than saying 'Sa valetad' (You are lying). In meetings, admitting a 'möödapanek' early is seen as a sign of honesty and efficiency. Headlines often use this phrase to critique political polls or economic forecasts that fail. Younger Estonians might use the English-influenced 'missima' (to miss), but 'mööda panema' remains the standard idiom.
Use it for 'Oops' moments
It's the perfect phrase for small, non-critical errors like wrong names or times.
Don't use for crimes
Never use this for serious legal or moral issues; it sounds too lighthearted.
