意思
Used to express indifference.
文化背景
Estonians value 'minimalist communication'. Saying 'suva' is often seen as being easy-going rather than lazy. Among Estonian teens, 'suva' is often paired with a specific 'deadpan' facial expression to maximize the 'cool' factor. In Estonian internet comments, 'suva' is used to 'troll' or dismiss long, emotional arguments. While 'suva' is slang, in modern IT startups in Tallinn, the register is so casual that you might actually hear 'suva' in internal meetings.
The Shrug
To sound truly Estonian, pair the word 'suva' with a slight, single-shoulder shrug and a neutral face.
Not for Bosses
Never say 'suva' to your boss when they give you a task, unless you want to look for a new job!
