Tõlgendamast

Tõlgendamast is the negative past participle of the Estonian verb "tõlgendama," which means to interpret, construe, or explain. In Estonian grammar, the past participle in the negative form indicates an action that was not performed or an absence of interpretation. Therefore, "tõlgendamast" would be used in a sentence to convey that something was not interpreted, or that there was a lack of an interpretative act. For example, a sentence might read that a certain event remained "tõlgendamast" by the public, meaning it was left uninterpreted or its meaning was unclear. This grammatical form is crucial for expressing nuanced negative states related to understanding and explanation in Estonian. It functions similarly to phrases like "uninterpreted" or "not having been explained" in English. The specific context of its use will determine the precise shade of meaning, but the core concept remains the absence of interpretation or explanation.
