eraisikuna

Eraisikuna is an Estonian word that translates to "as a private person" or "in a personal capacity." It is often used in legal and administrative contexts to distinguish actions or responsibilities taken by an individual in their private life from those undertaken in their professional or official capacity. For instance, a contract entered into by an individual for personal use would be considered an "eraisikuna" agreement, separate from any business dealings they might have.

The concept of "eraisikuna" is important in establishing accountability and understanding the nature of a person's involvement in various situations. It helps to clarify whether someone is acting on their own behalf or on behalf of an organization, government, or other entity. This distinction can have significant implications for legal rights, obligations, and liabilities. In legal documents, specifying "eraisikuna" can be crucial for defining the scope of agreements and responsibilities. For example, if a person signs a loan agreement as an individual, their personal assets might be at risk, whereas if they sign on behalf of a company, the company's assets are typically the primary collateral. The term emphasizes the individual's personal agency and responsibility outside of any formal roles they may hold.
