Juhuslikud

Juhuslikud is an Estonian word that translates to “the random ones” or functions as the plural form of the adjective juhuslik, meaning random or chance. In everyday language it can describe objects, events, or people chosen without a fixed pattern. When used as a proper noun, Juhuslikud can also serve as a name or title in media, art, or fiction.

Etymology and grammar: The term derives from juhus (chance) with the suffix -lik to form an adjective, and the plural ending -ud.
