kõrvaldame

Kõrvaldame is the 1st person plural present indicative form of the Estonian verb kõrvaldama, meaning to remove, delete or eliminate something. The verb is used for both physical removal and for eliminating problems, obstacles, errors, or unwanted elements. It is transitive and typically requires a direct object.

In Estonian, the object of kõrvaldama is commonly in the genitive or partitive case, depending on definiteness and context. For example, Me kõrvaldame vea süsteemist (we remove the error from the system). In another context, Me kõrvaldame ebamugavuse (we eliminate the discomfort). These expressions illustrate how kõrvaldama covers both concrete and abstract removals.

The term is widely used in everyday language as well as in technical domains such as information technology, data management and software development, where it often refers to deleting records, removing faulty configurations, or eliminating bugs and issues. Because it denotes a deliberate act of removal, it can carry a sense of resolution or problem-solving.

Related forms include kõrvaldamine (the act of removal or elimination) and kõrvaldaja (the remover or eliminator). In contrast or related vocabulary, equivalents such as eemaldama or eemaldamine may be used depending on nuance (removing versus deleting, for example).
