ebavõrdlased

Ebavõrdlased is the Estonian plural noun that literally means “the unequal ones.” The word is not a standard entry in major dictionaries, and its precise meaning depends on context. Typically it would be formed from ebavõrdne (unequal) with a suffix that marks a group of people or entities, yielding a collective sense of individuals characterized by inequality.

In practice, ebavõrdlased could appear in sociopolitical or literary discussions to refer to groups that experience unequal treatment or lack equal footing in a given situation. In academic or analytical writing, it might be used to describe non‑comparable or non‑equal entities, though such usage is not established as a conventional term. Because the expression is not widely standardized, its interpretation relies on surrounding text and author intent.

Example usage (illustrative, not a fixed quotation): Arutluses märgitakse ebavõrdlaste olukorra süvakihtide mõju tööhõives, hariduses ja sotsiaalses kaasatuses. Translation: The discussion notes the impact of unequal conditions on employment, education, and social inclusion.

Related terms include ebavõrdlus (inequality), võrdsus (equality), ebavõrdne (unequal), and võrdlus (comparison). Given its lack of widespread status, ebavõrdlased should be interpreted cautiously and with attention to context. If you have a specific source or usage in mind, that would help clarify its exact sense.
