뜻
Used to confirm that something is correct.
문화적 배경
Estonians value silence and brevity. 'Täpselt nii!' is popular because it provides maximum information with minimum effort. In Estonian uniformed services, 'Just nii!' is the official way to say 'Yes'. Using 'Täpselt nii!' might mark you as a civilian. In Estonian IT companies (like Skype or Bolt), 'Täpselt nii!' is often shortened to just 'Täpselt' in Slack messages. Finnish uses 'Juuri niin', which is a cognate. Estonians and Finns can usually understand this agreement immediately.
The Nod
Estonians often nod once firmly while saying this to show they are serious.
Don't Overuse
If you say it after every single sentence, you might sound like a 'yes-man' or a robot.

In texts, 'Täpselt!' is enough. You don't always need the 'nii'.
Politeness
It's a great way to show you are following a long story without interrupting the speaker.
