EN: shortness; brevity
The 'ikli' of your sweldo—it's gone before you know it. The 'ikli' of your patience when the WiFi is slow. The 'ikli' of a summer romance. It's the official state of things that end too soon. The opposite of 'haba'.
This is the root word and noun form. 'Maikli' is the adjective (short). 'Kaiklian' is a more formal noun for 'brevity'.
