üldsusel

üldsusel is an Estonian word that translates to "in general," "overall," or "publicly" depending on the context. It is an adverbial form derived from the noun "üldsus," which means "generality" or "public."

When used to mean "in general" or "overall," üldsusel indicates a broad perspective or a summary statement. For example, "üldsusel tundub probleem olevat lahendatav" would mean "overall, the problem seems solvable." It suggests that a conclusion is drawn after considering various aspects or without delving into minute details.

In another sense, üldsusel can refer to something being done "publicly" or "in the open." This usage emphasizes the lack of secrecy or privacy. For instance, "otsus teatati üldsusel" translates to "the decision was announced publicly." This implies that the information was made available to everyone.

The specific meaning of üldsusel is therefore best determined by the surrounding words and the overall situation in which it is used. It is a versatile word that allows for nuanced expression in the Estonian language, covering both generalized observations and public pronouncements.
