Lehekülgi

Lehekülg is an Estonian noun that refers to a page in a printed book, document, or similar object, as well as to an individual page on a website. Lehekülgi is the plural form used when speaking about multiple pages, such as in a book with many pages or a site with several pages.

The word is historically linked to the concept of a leaf or sheet (leht) and the idea of a side or surface (külg) of that leaf, later generalizing to a page in a book or document. Over time, lehekülg has also come to describe a single page within a digital document or an individual page on a website, though the more general term for a site is veebileht or koduleht.

In publishing and academia, lehekülgi is used to denote page counts or pages within a work. For example, one might refer to “palju lehekülgi” when discussing the length of a book. In digital contexts, lehekülg can describe an individual page within a website, while veebileht or koduleht is typically used for the site as a whole. The two terms are related but are used with different emphasis: lehekülg emphasizes a single page, whereas veebileht denotes an entire site made up of multiple pages.

In summary, lehekülg and its plural lehekülgi cover both traditional printed pages and individual web pages, with veebileht representing the overall website.
