Ülemäärased

Ülemäärased is an Estonian word that translates to "excessive" or "superfluous" in English. It describes something that is more than what is needed, required, or appropriate. This can apply to a wide range of situations, from quantities of objects to abstract concepts like expenses or demands.

For instance, ülemäärased kulud would refer to excessive expenses, meaning money spent beyond what is reasonable or budgeted. Similarly, ülemäärased nõudmised could indicate unreasonable or excessive demands placed upon someone or something. The term suggests a departure from moderation and a surplus that may be detrimental or simply unnecessary.

The concept of ülemäärased is often used in contexts where efficiency, balance, or proportionality are valued. Identifying and eliminating ülemäärased elements can be a goal in personal finance, project management, or even in discussions about societal resource allocation. It implies that there is a standard or optimal level, and that exceeding this level constitutes being ülemäärased. The precise implication of the term can vary depending on the specific context in which it is used, but the core meaning of "too much" remains consistent.
