käskymenoin

Käskymenoin is an Estonian phrase that translates to "by order" or "by command." It is typically used in formal contexts, such as military or legal settings, to indicate that an action is being taken or has been taken as a direct result of an official instruction or directive. The phrase emphasizes the subordinate position of the person or entity executing the order and the authority of the person or entity issuing it.

The use of käskymenoin implies a chain of command and a clear allocation of responsibility. When something is done käskymenoin, it means it was not a voluntary act or a personal decision, but rather a fulfillment of a duty or obligation imposed by a superior. This can be seen in official documents, reports, or testimonies where an individual might state that a particular action was carried out "käskymenoin" to explain their involvement and distance themselves from any personal agency in the matter.

In essence, the phrase serves to underscore the hierarchical nature of certain organizations and systems, where compliance with orders is paramount. It is a formal and direct way of communicating that an action is the consequence of authority being exercised. The term highlights obedience and the execution of directives as the driving force behind the action.
