Varuolukorrale

Varuolukorrale, meaning "for the sake of the situation" or "due to the circumstances" in Estonian, is a phrase used to indicate that an action is taken or a decision is made not necessarily because it is the ideal or preferred course of action, but because the prevailing conditions necessitate it. It implies a pragmatic approach, prioritizing the immediate needs or constraints of a particular scenario. This concept is often applied in contexts where flexibility and adaptability are crucial.

For instance, in business, a company might adopt a less profitable strategy "varuolukorrale" if it allows them to navigate a challenging economic downturn or to maintain market presence during a period of intense competition. Similarly, in personal life, someone might accept a less-than-ideal living arrangement "varuolukorrale" if it is the only option available due to financial limitations or urgent relocation needs. The phrase suggests a temporary compromise, with the expectation that more favorable conditions might allow for a return to preferred methods or outcomes later on. It highlights a recognition of limitations and a willingness to adapt to them.
