ülekülluslik

ülekülluslik is an Estonian adjective that translates to "excessive," "superabundant," "profuse," or "overabundant" in English. It describes something that exists or is present in a quantity far beyond what is needed, necessary, or desirable. The term can be applied to a wide range of contexts, from material possessions to emotions or even natural phenomena.

In its most literal sense, ülekülluslik can refer to an abundance of physical items. For example, a household might be described as ülekülluslik in its possessions, implying clutter or a surplus of goods. It can also describe food or drink, suggesting a feast or a meal that is far too generous.

Beyond the material, ülekülluslik can also describe abstract concepts. An argument might be ülekülluslik in its accusations, meaning it contains an overwhelming number of unfounded or excessive claims. Similarly, someone's expression of gratitude could be described as ülekülluslik, implying an outpouring of thanks that might even seem insincere due to its sheer volume. The word carries a connotation of something being too much, often to the point of being overwhelming or even slightly negative, though it can sometimes simply denote a very large quantity without explicit judgment.
