Kõverdamise

Kõverdamise is an Estonian term that translates to "bending" or "curving" in English. It refers to the process of deforming a straight object into a curved shape. This can be achieved through various methods depending on the material and the desired curvature. For example, heat can be applied to metal or wood to make them pliable enough to bend, while plastics may be bent cold. In some contexts, kõverdamise can also refer to the act of deviating from a straight path or a direct course, implying a slight detour or a less direct approach. The term is often used in manufacturing and craftsmanship, where precise bending is crucial for creating specific forms. It can also appear in more abstract discussions, describing the modification of plans or the adoption of a less conventional strategy. The specific meaning can be inferred from the surrounding context.
