Kokkulehitama

Kokkulehitama is an Estonian verb that translates to "to reach an agreement" or "to come to terms." It signifies the process of finding a mutual understanding or resolution between two or more parties who may have previously held differing views or intentions. The verb implies a negotiation or discussion leading to a consensual outcome.

The act of kokkulehitama often involves compromise, where each party concedes certain points to achieve a collectively acceptable solution. It can be applied in various contexts, from personal disputes and business negotiations to political settlements. The core idea is that a conclusion is reached through discussion and mutual assent, rather than through force or unilateral decision-making.

The outcome of kokkulehitama is a "kokkulepe," which is the Estonian word for an agreement or accord. This noun represents the finalized understanding that has been achieved through the process. Therefore, the verb describes the active effort to arrive at this state of accord. The successful completion of this process signifies a resolution where all involved parties are, to some degree, satisfied with the outcome.
