kahtluslikult

kahtluslikult is an Estonian adverb that translates to "doubtfully," "suspiciously," or "dubiously" in English. It is used to describe an action or state of being that is characterized by uncertainty, suspicion, or a lack of full confidence. The root word is "kahtlus," meaning "doubt" or "suspicion."

When something is done kahtluslikult, it implies that there is a reason to question its legitimacy, truthfulness, or safety. For example, someone might behave kahtluslikult if they are trying to hide something or if their actions seem out of the ordinary. The adverb can also describe a situation or outcome that is uncertain or likely to be problematic.

The word can be used in various contexts. In a legal setting, evidence might be considered kahtluslikult presented if it is incomplete or raises more questions than it answers. In everyday conversation, a person's expression or demeanor might be described as kahtluslikult if it suggests they are hiding something or are not entirely trustworthy. The overall tone conveyed by kahtluslikult is one of apprehension and a need for closer scrutiny.
