Kortsustamata

Kortsustamata is an Estonian adjective that translates to "unwrinkled" or "smooth" in English. It is typically used to describe fabrics, clothing, or surfaces that are free from creases or folds. For example, one might say that a freshly ironed shirt is kortsustamata, or that a smooth piece of paper is kortsustamata. The term implies a state of being well-maintained, neat, and orderly.

The opposite of kortsustamata would be kortsuline, meaning wrinkled or creased. The degree of smoothness conveyed by kortsustamata can vary depending on the context. In the context of clothing, it suggests a crisp and well-presented appearance. When referring to surfaces, it can indicate a lack of imperfections or damage. The word is derived from the Estonian word "korts," meaning a wrinkle or crease.

In a broader sense, kortsustamata can sometimes be used metaphorically to describe a situation or process that is proceeding smoothly and without complications, although this is a less common usage. The primary and most direct application of the adjective remains its literal meaning of being free from wrinkles.
