elukõlblikuks

elukõlblikuks is an Estonian word that translates to "livable," "habitable," or "suitable for living" in English. It is derived from the Estonian word "elukõlblik," which means "livable." The suffix "-uks" indicates a state or condition.

The term is commonly used to describe places or conditions that are appropriate for human habitation. This can refer to housing, where "elukõlblikuks" might describe a dwelling that meets certain safety, sanitation, and comfort standards. It can also be applied to broader environmental contexts, suggesting that a particular area or region is environmentally sound and safe enough for people to live in.

In a legal or regulatory context, a property or area might need to be declared "elukõlblikuks" before it can be occupied or used for residential purposes. This often involves inspections and adherence to building codes and health regulations. The concept implies that the place in question provides the basic necessities and is free from significant hazards that would render it unsafe or unhealthy.

The opposite of "elukõlblikuks" would be a place or condition that is uninhabitable or unsuitable for living, which might be described as "elukõlbmatu."
