Tark poiss.

Smart boy.

意思

An intelligent young male.

🌍

文化背景

Estonians value 'quiet' intelligence. A 'tark poiss' is often someone who listens more than he talks. The 'e-Estonia' identity means that technical literacy is a key part of being considered 'tark' today. In folklore, the 'tark' was a shaman. This gives the word a slightly more profound weight than just 'smart'. School success is highly celebrated. PISA results are a matter of national pride.

💡
