Lühiajalistes

Lühiajalistes is an Estonian term that translates to "short-term" in English. It is commonly used in various contexts to describe something that is of limited duration or not intended for a long period.

In finance, lühiajalistes investments refer to assets that are expected to be sold or mature within a year, such as short-term bonds or certificates of deposit. Lühiajalistes loans, on the other hand, are typically repaid within a year, contrasting with long-term loans that extend over several years.

The term can also apply to employment. A lühiajaline leping, or short-term contract, is an agreement for a job that lasts for a fixed, limited period. Similarly, lühiajaline majutus, or short-term accommodation, refers to rentals like holiday homes or guesthouses that are booked for a few days or weeks.

In a broader sense, lühiajalistes can describe any situation, plan, or effect that is temporary. For instance, a lühiajaline mõju, or short-term effect, refers to an outcome that is observed only for a brief period. Understanding the context in which "lühiajalistes" is used is key to interpreting its specific meaning.
