意思
Used when skin or eyes feel a burning sensation.
文化背景
In Estonian sauna culture, the sensation of skin 'tulitama' after using a 'viht' (birch branch bundle) is seen as a sign of health and vitality. Estonians often use 'tulitama' to describe the 'wind-burn' from the Baltic Sea winds, which can be just as strong as a sun-burn. The word is linked to the concept of 'tulivesi' (fire-water/vodka), which makes the throat 'tulitama'. In folklore, 'tulitama' was sometimes associated with the touch of mythical creatures or 'maa-alused' (underground spirits) causing skin rashes.

Don't be too literal
If you say 'Ma tulitan', people might think you are having a fever or a spiritual awakening. Stick to body parts.
