뜻
A common way to describe cinema.
문화적 배경
Estonians are very direct. If you ask if they liked a movie and they didn't, they will say 'See oli igav' without hesitation. The Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) is one of the biggest in Northern Europe. Estonians take their cinema seriously. On Estonian Facebook groups for movie fans, 'igav film' is a common tag for disappointing blockbusters. During the dark Estonian winters, a 'boring movie' is seen as a waste of a precious evening out.
Use 'väga'
Add 'väga' (very) to say 'väga igav film' for extra emphasis.
Case Agreement
Don't forget that if you use 'filmi', you must use 'igavat'.
