Teravaotsalised

Teravaotsalised is an Estonian-language compound adjective that appears infrequently in standard references. The word is formed from terav meaning sharp, otsa meaning end or tip, and the suffix -lised, which denotes a qualitative property. The literal translation is roughly “sharp-ended” or “sharp-tipped,” and the meaning can vary with context.

Because teravaotsalised is not widely attested in major dictionaries, there is no single, fixed definition in English-language sources. In Estonian usage, it may be employed in technical descriptions of physical objects that have a pointed end or tip, such as tools, structural features, or anatomical or geological forms. It can also be used metaphorically to describe people or arguments viewed as pointed, incisive, or decisively expressed. The exact sense often depends on the discipline and the surrounding text, rather than on a standardized gloss.

Etymology and morphology: teravaotsalised combines terav (sharp) with otsa (end, tip) and the participial suffix -lised, giving a descriptive property to the noun it modifies. In Estonian morphology, such formations are common for creating adjectives that denote a specific characteristic.
