käegakatsutavust

Käegakatsutavust refers to the quality of being tangible or perceptible through touch. It describes something that can be physically felt, grasped, or handled. In a broader sense, it can also apply to concepts or ideas that are easily understood or comprehended, implying a certain clarity or concreteness. This term is often used in contrast to abstract or intangible concepts. For example, a physical object like a stone possesses käegakatsutavust, while a feeling like happiness is generally considered intangible. The degree of käegakatsutavust can vary; some objects are more easily felt and manipulated than others. In Estonian, the word is derived from "käsi" (hand) and "katsutama" (to touch or feel). It emphasizes the direct sensory experience of interacting with the physical world. Understanding käegakatsutavust helps differentiate between the material and immaterial aspects of existence and thought.
