意思
Acting as if something is true.
文化背景
Estonians value 'talupojamõistus' (peasant wisdom) which includes being able to see through someone who is 'making a face'. Being too fake is highly looked down upon. In Estonian meetings, 'head nägu tegema' is common when disagreeing with a superior to maintain 'töörahu' (work peace). The term is now used to describe 'Instagram vs Reality'—people 'making a face' of a perfect life.
Use with 'nagu'
To sound like a native, use 'nagu' + conditional (oleks) instead of 'et' when you want to emphasize that the situation is totally fake.
Don't overdo it
Calling someone out with 'Ära tee nägu!' can be quite aggressive. Use it only with friends.
