Lõhkevad

Lõhkevad is an Estonian word that translates to "exploding" or "bursting" in English. It is the present participle of the verb lõhkema, which means to explode, burst, or shatter. This word can be used in various contexts to describe something that is undergoing or about to undergo a rapid and violent expansion, often resulting in fragmentation.

In a literal sense, lõhkevad can refer to physical objects that are exploding. For example, a bomb that is detonating would be described as lõhkev. Similarly, a balloon that pops would be lõhkev. The term implies a sudden release of energy and a breakdown of the object's structure.

Beyond the physical, lõhkevad can also be used metaphorically. It can describe situations or emotions that are becoming overwhelming or intense. For instance, a person feeling extreme anger might be described as having lõhkevad tunded (exploding feelings). It can also refer to something that is rapidly increasing or multiplying, such as a population that is lõhkevad. The core idea remains one of sudden, significant change or expansion. The context in which lõhkevad is used will determine its precise meaning.
