Küllastunudks

Küllastunudks is an Estonian term that translates to "saturated" or "filled" in English. It is a versatile word used in various contexts, often describing a state of being full or having reached a limit.

In chemistry, küllastunudks refers to a saturated solution, a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure. This implies that the solvent has reached its maximum capacity for dissolving the solute. Similarly, in the context of fats, küllastunudks denotes saturated fats, which are typically solid at room temperature and are found primarily in animal products and some plant oils. Their chemical structure consists of fatty acids with no double bonds between carbon atoms.

Beyond scientific applications, küllastunudks can describe a feeling of being completely full after eating, where one has consumed enough food and desires no more. It can also be used metaphorically to indicate that a situation or environment is overcrowded or has reached its capacity for something. For example, a market might be described as küllastunudks if it has too many similar offerings or businesses, making it difficult for new ones to succeed. The specific meaning is usually inferred from the surrounding context.
