A1 Idiom 非正式

Auku pähe rääkima

To talk into something

意思

Persuading someone to do something.

🌍

文化背景

Estonians value 'talupojamõistus' (peasant wisdom/common sense). Being talked into something is often seen as a temporary lapse in common sense. In South-Eastern Estonia (Setomaa), oral traditions are very strong. The power of the 'word' is historically linked to singing and spells. In the startup culture of Tallinn, 'auku pähe rääkima' is often used to describe 'pitching' to investors. Similar to Finns, Estonians use this idiom to express a shared cultural trait: the difficulty of getting a reserved person to change their mind.

💡

Use with 'mulle'

Always remember to say WHO you are talking a hole into. 'Ta rääkis MULLE augu pähe.'

⚠️

Don't be too literal

If you say this to a doctor about a headache, they might get confused!

Not necessarily. It's informal and can be used jokingly. However, calling a professional a 'hole-talker' might be seen as questioning their integrity.

Yes! 'My friend talked a hole in my head to go to the gym' is a positive outcome.

'Auku' is used when the action is ongoing or negative. 'Augu' is used when the persuasion is finished and successful.

Not exactly, but you can say 'Ma lasin endale auku pähe rääkida' (I let a hole be talked into my head).
