kahjustumiselt

Kahjustumiselt is an Estonian word that translates to "from damage" or "as a result of damage." It is a grammatical form, specifically the elative case, of the noun "kahjustus," which means damage, harm, or injury.

The elative case in Estonian typically indicates movement out of or away from something, or it can signify a cause or origin. Therefore, "kahjustumiselt" conveys the idea that something originates from, is caused by, or has emerged from a state of being damaged or harmed.

For example, one might say that a certain outcome occurred "kahjustumiselt," implying that the damage was the reason or the starting point for that outcome. It can also be used to describe something that is being removed or separated from a damaged state. The precise meaning in a given sentence depends on the context and the verb or other words it is used with. Understanding this grammatical function is key to interpreting its usage in Estonian sentences.
