inimkäsitsi

inimkäsitsi is an Estonian word that translates to "manually" or "by hand" in English. It describes an action or process that is performed without the aid of machines or automation. This can encompass a wide range of activities, from traditional crafts and labor to tasks that require human intervention due to their complexity or the need for a personal touch.

The term is often used to distinguish manual work from tasks done by computers or automated systems. For example, one might say a task was done inimkäsitsi if it was completed by a person rather than a program. It can also refer to the quality of something made by hand, implying a certain level of care, skill, or uniqueness. In some contexts, inimkäsitsi can suggest a slower, more deliberate process compared to machine production. The concept highlights the value of human effort and craftsmanship in a world increasingly dominated by technology.
