lõikamiseta

Lõikamiseta is an Estonian word that translates to "without cutting" or "uncut" in English. This term is primarily used in the context of materials or products that are sold or processed in a continuous form, such as fabric, paper, or certain types of food like cheese or cured meats. When something is described as lõikamiseta, it implies that it has not been pre-portioned or divided into smaller pieces by the manufacturer or seller.

For example, when purchasing fabric by the meter, the buyer might request it lõikamiseta, meaning they want the longest possible continuous piece available, rather than having it cut into shorter lengths. Similarly, a block of cheese might be sold lõikamiseta, allowing the customer to cut it to their desired size at home. This term emphasizes the unbroken nature of the item being sold. The opposite of lõikamiseta would be something that has been pre-cut or portioned. Understanding the context in which lõikamiseta is used is key to grasping its specific meaning.
