意思
Used to express strong agreement.
文化背景
Estonians value brevity. 'Muidugi' is a perfect word because it's a complete thought in one word. In the region, showing over-enthusiasm can sometimes feel fake. 'Muidugi' is a 'safe' way to be enthusiastic without being 'too much.' In Estonian business, 'muidugi' signals that a task is standard and well within your capabilities. In Slack or Teams, Estonians often use the 'OK' emoji or just 'Muidugi' to acknowledge messages quickly.
The Double Muidugi
Saying 'Muidugi-muidugi' quickly shows you are very much in agreement and ready to move to the next point.
Not for 'You're Welcome'
I'll say it again: don't use it after 'Aitäh'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers!

A small, firm nod while saying 'Muidugi' makes you look 100% more Estonian.
