Külgnev

Külgnev is an Estonian word that translates to "adjacent" or "neighboring" in English. It is primarily used as an adjective to describe something that is located next to or shares a boundary with something else. The word can be applied to various contexts, including geographical locations, objects, or even abstract concepts.

For example, one might refer to a "külgnev maa-ala" which means an adjacent plot of land. In the context of buildings, "külgnevad majad" would refer to houses situated next to each other. The concept extends beyond physical proximity; one could speak of "külgnevad teemad" to describe topics that are closely related or follow each other in a sequence.

The word emphasizes the state of being side-by-side or in close proximity without necessarily implying direct contact, although it often does. It is a common term in everyday Estonian language and is also used in more formal or technical descriptions where spatial relationships are important. Understanding "külgnev" is key to comprehending spatial arrangements and relationships when reading or speaking Estonian.
