意思
Paying very close attention to sounds.
文化背景
Estonians often use animal metaphors because of their historical connection to the forest. 'Kikitama' is one of many such idioms. Finnish has a very similar expression 'höristää korviaan', showing the shared Finno-Ugric linguistic heritage. In rural areas, this phrase is still used literally for livestock (cows, horses) as much as for people.
Animal Instinct
Think of yourself as a fox. It helps you remember the 'perky' nature of the verb.
Grammar Trap
Always use 'kõrvu' (partitive), never 'kõrvad' (nominative) with this idiom.
