kõrgematelt

Kõrgematelt is an Estonian adverb derived from the adjective "kõrge," meaning high. As an adverb, "kõrgematelt" signifies a position or state that is higher than a previous or comparative point. It is the comparative form of the adverb "kõrgelt," which means highly or from a high place. Therefore, "kõrgematelt" indicates a movement or placement from a higher position to a lower one, or a comparison where something is situated at a greater altitude than something else.

For example, in a sentence like "Linnud lendasid kõrgematelt," it translates to "The birds flew from higher up" or "The birds flew from a higher place." This implies a descent or a starting point that was at a greater elevation. Similarly, if one were describing the landscape, "Maja asub mäe kõrgematelt nõlvadelt" would mean "The house is located on the higher slopes of the mountain." This usage emphasizes a relative position that is elevated compared to other parts of the mountain or a different reference point. The adverb "kõrgematelt" is commonly used in contexts involving altitude, elevation, or comparative height.
