Lahtivõetavas

Lahtivõetavas is an Estonian adjective that translates to "disassemblable," "detachable," or "separable" in English. It describes an object or structure that can be taken apart into its constituent components. This property is often a design consideration for practical reasons, such as ease of transport, storage, maintenance, or assembly.

Objects that are lahtivõetavas can range from simple household items to complex machinery. For example, a piece of furniture like a flat-pack wardrobe is designed to be lahtivõetavas, allowing it to be shipped in smaller pieces and assembled by the user. Similarly, some tools or equipment are engineered with detachable parts for easier cleaning, repair, or replacement. The term emphasizes the intentionality of the design, indicating that the separation of parts is a feature, not a defect. Understanding that something is lahtivõetavas implies that it can be reassembled, often in its original configuration. This contrasts with things that are simply broken or cannot be put back together. The concept is relevant in engineering, manufacturing, and everyday life when discussing the physical properties and usability of objects.
