Vahetevahelisi

Vahetevahelisi is an Estonian word that translates to "intermittent," "occasional," or "sporadic" in English. It is used to describe something that happens at irregular intervals, not continuously or constantly. The term can be applied to a wide range of phenomena, from weather patterns to human behavior.

For example, one might describe the weather as vahetevahelisi if there are periods of sunshine interspersed with rain or clouds. In a medical context, a condition could be referred to as vahetevahelisi if its symptoms appear and disappear rather than being persistent. Similarly, someone's attendance at events might be described as vahetevahelisi if they do not attend regularly but only show up on occasion. The core meaning is that of something that is not constant but rather occurs in bursts or at separate times. It implies a lack of regularity and a degree of unpredictability in its occurrence. The specific nuance can be further clarified by the context in which the word is used.
