Question 8

“veidi” vs “natuke”

Answer 8

“Veidi” and “natuke” both mean “a little” or “a bit,” but there are some slight differences in usage:

1. “Veidi” – Slightly more formal or neutral. Often used in written language or polite speech.
   
   • Example: Kas soovite veidi kohvi? (Would you like a little coffee?)
   • Example: Mul on veidi aega enne loengu algust. (I have a little time before the lecture starts.)
2. “Natuke” – More colloquial and informal. Used more often in everyday speech.
   
   • Example: Ma olen natuke väsinud. (I am a little tired.)
   • Example: Lisa natuke soola supile. (Add a little salt to the soup.)

In most cases, they are interchangeable, but “veidi” might sound a bit more refined or formal, while “natuke” is more casual.
