Külalisteks

Külalisteks is an Estonian word that translates to "as guests" or "for guests" in English. The term is used in various contexts to describe a state of being or an action related to hosting or visiting.

In a social context, "külalisteks" can refer to people who are invited to someone's home for a visit, celebration, or meal. For example, a sentence like "Meil on homme palju külalisteks" would mean "We have many guests tomorrow." It can also imply a certain etiquette or expectation of behavior for those who are visiting, emphasizing hospitality and politeness.

The word can also be used in a more abstract sense, referring to something being provided or intended for guests. For instance, a hotel might advertise "toa varustus külalisteks" meaning "room amenities for guests." In this usage, it highlights that certain facilities or services are specifically designated for the comfort and use of visitors.

Furthermore, "külalisteks" can sometimes describe a temporary or non-permanent role. Someone might be "külalisteks" in a place they are not a permanent resident of, such as a student studying abroad or a worker on a temporary assignment. The term inherently carries the idea of being an outsider who is welcomed into a particular environment.
