kavatsuslikult

kavatsuslikult is an adverb in the Estonian language. It translates to "intentionally," "deliberately," or "with intent" in English. It describes an action that is performed with a conscious plan or purpose, rather than by accident or chance. The word originates from the Estonian noun "kavatsus," which means "intention" or "purpose."

When an action is described as kavatsuslikult, it implies that the subject of the action had a specific goal in mind and took steps to achieve it. This can be used in various contexts, from legal situations where intent is a crucial factor, to everyday scenarios where someone purposefully does something. For instance, if someone breaks a vase, saying they did it kavatsuslikult means they meant to break it. If they did it by mistake, it would not be considered kavatsuslikult. The adverb emphasizes the conscious decision-making process behind an action. It distinguishes between accidental occurrences and planned events. Understanding the use of kavatsuslikult is key to grasping the nuance of intent in Estonian communication.
