Sulgutähtedega

Sulgutähtedega is an Estonian phrase that translates to "with asterisks" in English. It is commonly used in written communication, particularly in informal contexts or when referring to text that has been intentionally obscured or marked. The asterisk symbol (*) is a versatile punctuation mark used for various purposes, and its inclusion in the phrase "sulgutähtedega" points to these specific applications.

One common use of asterisks is for censoring or redacting sensitive information. For instance, if a name or a word is considered inappropriate or confidential, it might be replaced by asterisks, such as "J*** S***" for a name or "f***" for a swear word. In this context, "sulgutähtedega" would describe the text that has undergone such redaction.

Another application is for emphasis or to denote a correction or a footnote. In some informal writing styles, asterisks can be used to draw attention to a particular word or phrase, similar to italics or bold text, although this is less common. More formally, asterisks are often used to indicate a footnote or a reference, with the asterisk in the main text corresponding to a note at the bottom of the page or at the end of a document.

The phrase "sulgutähtedega" can also appear in technical or programming contexts. For example, in some command-line interfaces, an asterisk is used as a wildcard character to represent any sequence of characters. When discussing file operations or search queries using wildcards, one might refer to them as being performed "sulgutähtedega." In summary, "sulgutähtedega" is a descriptive phrase indicating the presence or use of asterisks in a particular piece of writing or a specific context.
