Kõrgelt

Kõrgelt is an Estonian adverb meaning "from high up," "from a height," or "highly." It is the ablative form of the adjective "kõrge," which means "high" or "tall." The adverb is used to indicate the origin or source of something that is situated at a considerable elevation. For example, one might say "lumi tuli kõrgelt" meaning "the snow came from high up," referring to snow falling from the sky.

The word can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation or perspective that is elevated or broad. For instance, "vaadata asju kõrgelt" translates to "to view things from a high perspective," implying a detached and comprehensive understanding. In some contexts, "kõrgelt" can also imply importance or a high standard, similar to the English adverb "highly." For example, "teda hinnati kõrgelt" means "he was highly valued." The specific meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the overall context of the sentence.
